  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant
    Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.

  • Q:\In Progress\1-Production\01-Studies
    A CBO S T U D Y The Past and Future of U.S. Passenger Rail Service September 2003 The Congress of the United States # Congressional Budget Office Notes Numbers in the text and tables of this study may not add up to totals because of rounding. The cover image, showing an Amtrak train (foreground) and a Washington Metrorail train (background) in Alexandria, Va., is based on a photograph that is ©Bill Hough (www.auction transportation.com). PREFACE The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (also known as Amtrak) has been in a shaky financial condition ever since it was created by the federal government more than 30 years ago. Although Amtrak was established as a private, for-profit company, it has needed —and received—federal subsidies every year since it began providing service in 1971. Those subsidies totaled over $1 billion for 2003. However, according to Amtrak executives and inde- pendent analysts, that amount is insufficient for the railroad to sustain its current service safely and reliably over the long run. Amtrak’s authorization expired in 2002. In considering legislation to reauthorize federal funding of the railroad, the Congress will again face the issue—as it has throughout Amtrak’s history—of what the goal should be for an intercity passenger rail program. Should service be operated only where it can make a profit (or at least cover operating expenses)? Or should the federal government also commit to subsidizing money-losing trains to meet a perceived need for public transportation? Given that some service is unlikely ever to be able to cover its oper- ating costs, are there other organizational or institutional arrangements that could offer service at a lower cost to taxpayers? This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study—prepared at the request of the Senate Budget Committee—reviews past policies toward Amtrak and the fundamental economics of passen- ger rail service.
