UCRS Newsletter • December 1991 • 3 ADVENTURES OF THE RUSTY RAILEANS NUMBER NINE - CHASING C&O STATIONS September 1, 1991, was a deal; crisp, no-humidity day of which krnd there were all too few during the past summer. The Rusty Railfans accordingly had picked a good one for a day trip to southwestern Ontario, a part of the world where both shiny and rusty rails abound. The Rusty Railfans were joined on this trip by Just A. Ferronut (or was it the other way around, as Just A. supplied the automobile, borrowed from his dose friend Art Clowes for the trip). Observations began in earnest past Brantford where ChTs abandoned Brantford—Burford line was crossed at three separate locations; although the track is gone, the ballast is still evident to an unusual degree, and the grade appears to be in use as a road. A stop at the ex-Canada Southern (NYC-PC-Conrail) Tfllsonburg station revealed that the once- proud double track main line is no more — the eastbound track is the only one in service, while the westbound, although still largdy intact (it is broken at various road crossings) is rusty and weed-grown. The boarded-up CPR station (originally Tfllsonburg, Lake Erie and Pacific Raflway) and the former Great Western (Loop line) station (souvenir shop) both visited on a previous Rusty Railfan jaunt, were checked out again. The first photo stop was made in the east end of St. Thomas, where a CSX freight headed by 6216 (ex-Westem Maryland), cab forward, and 6205 (ex-B&O), hood forward, both in Chessie livery was standing eastward on the CASO main line, evidently awaiting the crew that would take it on to Buffalo. A brief visit to the NYC St. Thomas station, one of southern Ontario's most impressive raflway structures, showed that all of the ground storey windows are boarded up — one has to wonder what wfll ultimately become of this remarkable structiire; its demolition wotfld have to be regarded as a crime. Nex^ the group looked in at the CASO locomotive shop, now empty save for two inmates, one of which is highly distinguished. The latter is CNR Hudson 5703, still masquerading as 5700 courtesy of the National Museum of Science and Technology from which it was liberated in recent years. The other unit is CN express car 70740 (a service car numbei; although the car is resplendent in green, black, and gold passenger train livery). The two items of equipment are under the custodianship of the Elgin County Raflway Museum, of which the President, Mr. Bill Turvey was on hand in the shop building. The 4-6-4 had been pulled out of the shop building on the previous day to take part in the re-enactment of the World War n arrival of a troop train in St. Thomas. CN rebuilt 4136 pulled 5700, express car 70740 and three Port Stanley Terminal Railway passenger coaches out to the east end of St. Thomas. Here, a group of men wearing military uniforms from the 1940s boarded the train for the re-enactment of the troop train arrival. CN 4136 then pushed the train west to the CASO station where several mflitary bands and dty dignities met the troop train just as it was done in 1946. A smoke generator was used to give the 5700 the appearance of being under steam. CN 4136 was still sitting nearby as was a lashup of CSX 2136 and 6238 (the latter in the latest livery) and bay window caboose 904111. After fortifying themselves with lunch, and noting Port 4 • UCRS Newsletter • December 1991 Stanley Tenninal Rail tank car 307 ("Take a liain Ride from in many a moon, as the flangeways in the road crossing were the Station") on the L&PS line, the Rusty Railfans headed west solidly filled in, which situation also shows that the lumber yard from St. Thomas.

FOREWORD On March 16, 1972, the President sent a special message to Congress wherein he called "for a strong new effort to marshal! science and technology in the work of strengthening our economy and improving the quality of our life." In this message he stated that in the final analysis," the progress we seek requires a new partnership in science and technology-­ one which brings together the Federal Government, private enterprise, State and local governments, and our universities and research centers in a coordinated, cooperative effort to serve the national interest." As part of its ongoing commitment to this principle of technology-sharing, the U.S. Department of Transportation has initiated a series of publications based on research and development efforts sponsored by the Department. The series comprises technical reports, state-of-the-art documents, newsletters and bulletins, manuals and handbooks, bibliographies, and other special publications. All share a primary objective: to contri­ bute to a better base of knowledge and understanding throughout the transportation community, and, thereby, to an improvement in the basis for decision-making within the community. This title in the series presents an overview of demand responsive transportation, an innovative approach that may help fill the need for flexibility in public transportation.

    Staff Report #1 April 25, 2018 To All Commissioners Re: Industrial Service Strategy Update Recommendation That the Commission ENDORSE the following service delivery models as options for discussion at the May 15, 2018 meeting with Industrial Service stakeholders: • Fixed Route • Trippers • Branch Route • Employment/Industrial Shuttle • On-Demand Service • Dynamic Service Delivery Options including: o First Mile / Last Mile o Micro Transit o Flex Routes o Specialized Integration o Guaranteed Ride Home o Trip Planning Integration Background At the January 25, 2017 meeting, the Commission requested a review and update of the data used to inform the Industrial Service Strategy, including an assessment of the areas where Londoners currently are unable to access employment opportunities in industrial areas via regular public transit due to gaps in either service coverage or time of day. Further, the request was to involve the London Economic Development Corporation as well as the London Chamber of Commerce in the review, noting opportunities for new delivery models may be identified, including but not limited to partnering with businesses in the area to cost-share the service delivery. The focus of the industrial service review are lands zoned industrial, which currently have transit service provided during limited times of the day or are without nearby transit service. The areas identified are: the Airport Industrial area, Sovereign Road, Veteran’s Memorial Parkway (VMP/401), Wilton Grove and Exeter/White Oaks Road. Transit services to modern industrial areas are a complex issue influenced by a number of challenges, many of which are competing in nature. The complexities and challenges associated with providing transit service to industrial areas are not limited or unique to London.

  • April 2010 – Volume Seventeen, Number Four EXPEDITION NEWS
    April 2010 – Volume Seventeen, Number Four EXPEDITION NEWS, now in its 16th year, is the monthly review of significant expeditions, research projects and newsworthy adventures. It is distributed online to media representatives, corporate sponsors, educators, research librarians, explorers, environmentalists, and outdoor enthusiasts. This forum on exploration covers projects that stimulate, motivate and educate. COLD SHORES EXPEDITION ATTEMPTS 300-MILE TREK ACROSS NORWEGIAN ARCTIC David Leaning, 30, a former British Commando who served in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, late last month announced that the Cold Shores Expedition team has departed for the Norwegian Arctic to attempt to trek 300 miles across Svalbard Island (which means ‘cold edge’ in old Norse). Svalbard is where polar explorer Roald Amundsen mysteriously disappeared in 1928. The objective of the Cold Shores Expedition is to raise funds for The HALO Trust landmines charity (www.halotrust.org). Leaning is accompanied by Anton Havas, 21, a marathon runner from Sweden, and Apostolos Alafogiannis, 31, a former Special Forces operative from Greece. Leaning completed a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2007 and witnessed the terrible effects of landmines. Wishing to do something, he has completed two fundraising expeditions to support landmine charities. In 2008 he skied 1,615 miles down the entire length of Norway and in 2009 walked 1,429 miles from coast to coast across central Australia. The team has been training in northern Norway with the Royal Marine Commando’s Mountain Leaders Section. Expected hazards include polar bears (it is illegal not to carry a weapon to defend against polar bear attack), glaciers, ice storms and crevasses coupled with the perils of a restricted diet and sleep deprivation.
