  • NEC Capital Investment Plan
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2020-2024 March 2019 (amended July 2020) Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

  • Executive Summary of the Report
    The Midwest High Speed Rail Association The Midwest High Speed Rail Association is a Chicago-based, member-supported, non-profit organization advocating for fast, frequent and dependable trains linking the entire Midwest. Its diverse membership base includes nearly 2,000 individuals, local governments and corporations. The Midwest High Speed Rail Association’s goal is to persuade local, state and federal governments to implement an aggressive railroad expansion and provide ongoing operational support for fast trains throughout the Midwest. This report presents highlights from a larger study prepared for the Midwest High Speed Rail Association and sponsored by Siemens, based on a high-level engineering study conducted by AECOM and an economic impact assessment of the Chicago Metropolitan region conducted by the Economic Development Research Group, Inc. (EDRG). We would like to thank all those who participated in this study for their valuable insights and time, including Solomon Cordwell Buenz, who provided a conceptual design for the incorporation of high speed rail at Union Station. The full version of the study can be viewed at MidwestHSR.org. Special thanks to our sponsor Siemens is working to provide solutions to today’s urbanization challenges, all with an eye to minimizing impact to the environment. To this end, Siemens has been involved in the development and publishing of several key studies on sustainable urban infrastructure – which includes complete mobility solutions.

Central Transportation Planning Staff Directed by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO is composed of state and regional agencies and authorities, and local governments. June 2010 ABSTRACT This commuter rail report belongs to a multivolume set of reports on the findings of a systemwide survey of Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority riders that was conducted for the MBTA by the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS) in 2008–09. This survey covers all of the modes operated by the MBTA: bus (including trackless trolley), bus rapid transit, heavy rail (the Blue, Red, and Orange Lines), light rail (the Green Line and the Mattapan High-Speed Line), commuter rail, and boat. 1 The most recent comparable systemwide passenger survey was conducted during 1993– 2000. The purpose of the systemwide survey was to gather data that are not easily obtained through any other means. The data are used to update the regional travel-demand model that is routinely used by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO); they are also available for use by other entities, public and private, as well as interested individuals.

    PARKING DEMAND PROJECTIONS FOR THE ROUTE 128 RAILROAD STATION GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS COLLECTION JUL111984 University or Massachusetts Depository Copy June 1983 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/parkingdemandproOObeag TITLE Parking Demand Projections for the Route 128 Railroad Station AUTHOR(S) Daniel Beagan DATE June 1983 ABSTRACT This report develops parking demand projections for the Route 128 Railroad Station. The report deals separately with the AMTRAK, commuter rail, and carpool markets. The AMTRAK parking projec- tions were made using modifications of forecasts from the Northeast Corridor Improvement Project. The commuter rail and carpool parking projections were made using the calibrated mode split model for the Boston Region and a mode split model calibrated on national figures. The report estimates the maximum probable demand for parking . at Route 12 8 Station under the most extreme conditions projected from all market segments.

  • The Daunting Logistics Behind FDR's Simple Funeral
    1935 - 2015 VOLUME 46 NUMBER 4 D ISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER WEBSITE : WWW .NRHS 1. ORG APRIL 2015 The Daunting Logistics Behind FDR's Simple Funeral BY CHRISTOPHER T. BAER - ASSISTANT CURATOR OF MANUSCRIPTS & ARCHIVES , HAGLEY MUSEUM AND LIBRARY , WILMINGTON , DELAWARE On April 12, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt suffered a fatal stroke at his retreat in Warm Springs, Georgia, where he had gone to recuperate from his grueling trip to the Big Three conference at Yalta. FDR had left instructions for a relatively simple funeral with interment in the garden of his home in Hyde Park, New York. Nevertheless, the railroad companies had to work closely with the White House to organize, on short notice, the final journey home of a revered president. Documents in the Hagley Museum and Library's Pennsylvania Railroad archive show the extraordinary planning and precautions needed to move Roosevelt in a somber, yet efficient, way. The Pennsylvania Railroad took particular care with its portion of the trip from Washington to Hyde Park following the White House funeral service. It was a PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ’S HONOR GUARD testament to America's sense of security at the time that almost its entire top level of government was brought together in the confined space of 30 moving railroad cars organized into two trains, something unimaginable today. One train included the armored presidential car "Ferdinand Magellan," for the Roosevelt family; the "Conneaut," which contained the bier and honor guard; the "Roald Amundsen" for President Harry S. Truman and his suite; sleeping cars for the entire Cabinet and Supreme Court; two dining cars; and the president's radio-communications car.
