  • Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation
    © U.S. Department Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation Federal Railroad and Cab W orking Conditions Administration Report to Congress Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance September 1996 stives THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 Septem ber 18, 1996 The Honorable Albert Gore, Jr. President o f the Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear M r. President: I am pleased to submit the enclosed report prepared by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on “Locomotive Crashworthiness and Cab Working Conditions,” as requested by the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act, Public Law 102-365. This report responds to the congressional mandate to report on issues related to: • health and safety of locomotive cab working conditions; • effectiveness of Association of American Railroads (AAR) Specification S-580; and • benefits and cost of additional locomotive crashworthiness features. The report summarizes the findings of FRA’s study, which included research on locomotive crashworthiness features, extensive consultations with a wide range of interested parties, and a field survey of actual locomotive working conditions. These findings indicate that a number of the crashworthiness features and working condition improvements identified in the Act merit further action by FRA in cooperation with the private sector. Identified priority safety improvements include implementation of stronger collision posts and fu ll height corner posts, incorporation of a crash refuge, improved fuel tank design, and improved methods to control noise and temperature levels inside the locomotive cab. Consistent with FRA’s emphasis on promoting a collaborative approach to railroad safety, FRA w ill seek the participation of railroads, employee representatives, manufacturers and suppliers, and other interested persons in determining the specific actions that may be appropriate to advance the safety and health of railroad crew members, based on the results of this study and other information that the parties may make available.

  • A Survey of Aquatic Habitats, Fishes and Other Aquatic Fauna of Elk Creek, Crescent City, California
    A Survey of Aquatic Habitats, Fishes and other Aquatic Fauna of Elk Creek, Crescent City, California Justin M. Garwood ̶ Environmental Scientist Anadromous Fisheries Resource and Assessment January/2019 Program California Department of Fish and Wildlife 5341 Ericson Way, Arcata, CA 95521 Top Photo: Mainstem Elk Creek in the CDFW Elk Creek Wetland Wildlife Area; [email protected] Bottom Photo: Upper Elk Creek Estuary in the Spring at low tide 1 Background Elk Creek is a small (21.4 km2) coastal watershed that drains most of the greater Crescent City and Elk Valley coastal plain (Figure 1). Prior to this study, limited information on Elk Creek salmonid occupancy and distributions were summarized in Garwood (2012a). Information on Elk Creek Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) habitats and ecological threats are broadly covered in the Elk Creek chapter of the Southern Oregon Northern California Coho Salmon Recovery Plan (NOAA 2014), though specific details regarding local threats to salmonid populations remain unclear. In response to a need for more refined restoration planning in Elk Creek, the Smith River Alliance developed an initial restoration strategy for the watershed (SRA 2017). I initiated this study in 2013 to determine current occupancy status and spatial distributions of salmonids, among other species, occurring in Figure 1. Ariel photo of lower Elk Creek watershed looking west taken on April 7, 2016. Note the broad valley largely lacking human development and coniferous forest which is likely due to extensive wetland habitats. Much of the core watershed is buffered by dense stands of Coast Redwood and Sitka Spruce. Photo: J.
