PRIIA Section 209 The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-432) required, by October 2013, an equitable arrangement of cost sharing between Amtrak and state or public agency partners that provide funding for short-distance, intercity train services. Agreements were reached with all parties, including Indiana, by the deadline, and the services continued to run without interruption.

Beech Grove Shops Amtrak’s principal heavy maintenance facility is located in Beech Grove, southeast of Indianapolis. Here, approximately 514 employees rebuild and overhaul Amtrak’s Superliner, Viewliner, Surfliner, Heritage, and Horizon car fleets. P32, P42, and F59 locomotives also are overhauled and rebuilt here for use across the Amtrak system, as is other equipment for Amtrak’s state partners and other passenger railroads.

The following work was performed at the Beech Grove Maintenance Facility in FY13:  5 locomotive wreck repairs were completed and units returned to service;  81 Superliner cars, 20 Horizon coaches, 13 Viewliner sleeping cars, 13 Surfliners (California service cars), and 5 Heritage dining cars were overhauled or remanufactured;  16 locomotives received Life Cycle Preventative Maintenance (LCPM); the greatest component of the LCPM is repainting of the locomotive;  6 F59 locomotives received a mid-life overhaul;  Unplanned and unbudgeted repairs were made to 15 locomotives and 10 passenger cars that terminals in other cities were unable to repair;  3 NPCU locomotives and 3 Horizon food cars were overhauled and leased to the State of 2 California;  2 locomotive trucks (wheel assemblies) overhauled for Metro-North, with Amtrak labor and General Electric parts, $72,000;  Painted the Amtrak P42 Veterans Locomotive;  Rebuilt parts for private cars, estimated $50,000;  Produced 10 locomotive wheel sets (“combos”) for New Jersey Transit electric locomotives, $180,000, as part of fleet repair efforts after Hurricane Sandy.

Beech Grove supplies components to other Amtrak facilities, including couplers, overhauled air conditioners, overhauled air brake valves, and about 300 other types of components unavailable elsewhere.

Indianapolis Distribution Center The Indianapolis Distribution Center (IDC) is Amtrak’s largest material and supply facility. Clean and modern, the IDC boasts 180,000 square feet of inside storage space. Using state-of-the-art technology, 16,000 stock-keeping-units (SKUs) are inventoried electronically to prevent issues innate to manual cataloging and to keep the stock instantaneously updated. The IDC is conveniently located less than a mile from the Beech Grove shops. It employs approximately 30 full- and part-time personnel. Material for all purposes, from coach seats to toilet paper and locomotive parts are distributed from the IDC to 31 Amtrak terminals nationwide.

Station Improvements  Indianapolis: In advance of National Train Day events on May 11, 2013, Amtrak employee- volunteers installed new signage and repainted various locations at Union Station.  Rensselaer: A new depot/shelter was constructed by Amtrak and dedicated on August 21, 2013. It replaced a small shelter built by Amtrak around the time the previous Monon Railroad station was razed in 1981. A new, 550-foot, concrete platform was finished in April 2011.  Dyer: Amtrak began construction of a new, ADA-compliant depot/shelter, platform, and parking lot in November 2013, with completion expected early in 2014.  Local organizations in many cities along the route of the Cardinal and Hoosier State have “adopted” their stations and voluntarily tended to facility upkeep. Cities such as Dyer, Rensselaer, Lafayette, Crawfordsville and Connersville stand out as keepers of the rail gateway to their communities. This includes landscaping, painting, and general maintenance and beautification.

Indiana Gateway As part of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program (HSIPR), Indiana was the recipient of a $71.4-million grant to alleviate congestion at the major rail junction at Porter. Multiple railroads meet here, including three Amtrak routes to Michigan and two Amtrak long-distance routes from Chicago to the east. The grant money will go toward construction of eight separate improvements along the congested railroad segment from Porter west to the state line. Seven of the improvements will be on track owned by Norfolk Southern and the eighth on Amtrak’s Michigan line at Porter. The work will include crossover tracks and related signal improvements, and additional sidings.
