  • The Odyssey of Five Locomotives: 1835-1965 Benjamin F
    The Odyssey of Five Locomotives: 1835-1965 Benjamin F. G. Kline, Jr. On October 21, 1864, this item appeared in the Lancaster newspaper: "The locomotive works, operated by J. A. Norris, has been contracted for delivery of five locomotives to the Western Pacific Railroad in California." Let us examine this for more detail. First, the Western Pacific Rail- road — chartered December 13, 1862 — in November 1869, was consoli- dated with the San Francisco Bay Railroad, which was chartered Septem- ber 25, 1868. Following this consolidation, it retained the name of the Western Pacific Railroad until June 23, 1870, when it was in turn consol- idated with the Central Pacific Railroad of California. The consolidated line became a part of the Central Pacific Railroad of California. The Western Pacific Railroad and the San Francisco Bay Railroad linked Sacramento with Oakland and the San Francisco area. This provided the Central Pacific with a connection to the San Francisco area. The original Western Pacific was a line 123.45 miles in length; the consolidation with the San Francisco Bay Railroad Company added about 22.5 miles to this, giving the consolidated Western Pacific Railroad a total mileage of approximately 146 miles. A sheet issued November 6, 1868 listed all Central Pacific motive power with their specifications. Also listed separately were the ten locomo- tives which were received from the Western Pacific Railroad. The first five are of no interest to us because they were Baldwin and Mason pro- ducts. The remaining five were listed as being built by Norris of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Second, let us look at the builder.

  • SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Program ESSB 6392 Design
    ESSB 6392: Design Refi nements and Transit Connections Workgroup | Appendix A: White papers Appendix A: White papers | ESSB 6392 Legislative Report ESSB 6392: Design Refinements and Transit Connections Workgroup Turning, Queuing, and Channelization Introduction How was turning, queuing, and channelization addressed in the preferred alternative? Lane channelization and turn pocket storage lengths were identified in the preferred alternative based on initial information available from the SDEIS. However, storage lengths and channelization were not analyzed in detail for the preferred alternative, as they were developed to fit within the environmental and operational effects evaluated in the SDEIS. Further analysis was requested to address the channelization and storage lengths as originally defined in the preferred alternative. What issues are we trying to resolve? As part of the design refinements associated with ESSB 6392, the project team sought confirmation that the number of lanes shown in the preferred alternative was necessary based on traffic forecasts and operations. In comment letters on the SDEIS, the Seattle City Council and Mayor expressed a desire for WSDOT to reduce the width of the corridor and associated roadways wherever possible in order to limit environmental impacts of the project. These comments echo those heard from many community members as well, asking that the project team eliminate any unneeded lanes. Specific areas studied included: • Reducing the westbound off-ramp to a single lane. • Reducing the number of turn lanes needed at the intersections of 24th Avenue and East Lake Washington Boulevard, and Montlake Boulevard and Lake Washington Boulevard. • Reducing the number of lanes on Montlake Boulevard through the interchange.

  • Classic Trains' 2014-2015 Index
    INDEX TO VOLUMES 15 and 16 All contents of publications indexed © 2013, 2014, and 2015 by Kalmbach Publishing Co., Waukesha, Wis. CLASSIC TRAINS Spring 2014 through Winter 2015 (8 issues) ALL ABOARD! (1 issue) 876 pages HOW TO USE THIS INDEX: Feature material has been indexed three or more times—once by the title under which it was published, again under the author’s last name, and finally under one or more of the subject categories or railroads. Photographs standing alone are indexed (usually by railroad), but photographs within a feature article are not separately indexed. Brief items are indexed under the appropriate railroad and/or category. Most references to people are indexed under the company with which they are commonly identified; if there is no common identification, they may be indexed under the person’s last name. Items from countries from other than the U.S. and Canada are indexed under the appropriate country name.
