The modified cars are known as Super Light Rail Vehicles (SLRVs) Because of the greater length and added passenger capacity. The SLRV will seat approximately 100 passengers compared with 75 on the current vehicles. Standing passengers on the vehicle can nearly douBle the capacity. Left: Smooth running for LRV with center section. (Photo credit: DART) . How does DART do it? • Each of DART's 115 light rail vehicles will Be converted into super light rail vehicles (SLRVs) with the addition of the low- floor rail car insert. • The insert kit (the car exterior, or shell, railcar truck, etc.) arrives at a DART assemBly facility in Northwest Dallas from Japan. Once assemBled, the car is delivered via flatBed trailer to a final assemBly point near DART's current service and inspection facility near Fair Park where it is installed. Right: Delivery of center section. (Photo credit: DART) • During its conversion an LRV is first separated at the articulation point - the place Between the two car sections where the vehicle Bends and the low-floor car is inserted. • It takes approximately five weeks to convert the LRV to an SLRV. From there it is turned over to DART staff for testing, modifications as needed, and final acceptance. Left: Installation of center section. (Photo credit: DART) Because the initial SLRVs are modifications of the current fleet of 115 LRVs, they also have another advantage: the inserts are less expensive than full-sized vehicles. However, DART will need to modify all current stations, except Victory Station, which was Built to accommodate level-Boarding at the time it was constructed. The platform work Began in NovemBer 2007 and will continue for two years. The platform improvements also will enaBle DART to operate longer, three-car trains through the Dallas CBD.

North Texans are just over 500 days away from taking the train to Deep Ellum, Baylor University Medical Center, and Fair Park when the first phase of the $1.8 Billion, 28-mile Green Line rail project opens as scheduled on SeptemBer 14, 2009. "There is a long tradition of passenger rail service in the communities served By the Green Line, and we're excited to help Bring it Back," DART President/Executive Director Gary Thomas said. Until January 1956 streetcars carried passengers through Deep Ellum and the neighBorhoods By Baylor Hospital to Fair Park where up to four sets of tracks were in service in front of the fairgrounds, Thomas explained.

  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • Southern Pacific
    Santa Fe By J. A. DANA Division Freight Agent, Houston HE WILLINGNESSOf America’s railroads to provide facilities T whereby commerce might move expeditiously and be widely distributed has been one of the greatest factors in the Na- tion’s growth. Had it not been for the part the rail lines have played it is doubtful if the United States could have reached its present status as an industrial and agricultural nation. Playing a predominant part in the transportation of America’s products during the past 75 years has been the Santa Fe system. Indications point to the Santa Fe taking a still greater role in the years to come. Operating 13,102 miles of railroad, the Santa Fe system links many of the nation’s largest industrial and supply centers with the Gulf Coast and the Pacific Coast. Not only are the industrial and supply centers afforded a speedy route for the movement of their products but likewise the vast agricultural area of ,the Southwest and the Midwest are served. History of the Santa Fe system, as it operates today, dates These new steel beauties are typical o~ the super-powered high speed freight back to 1859 when Cyrus K. Holliday a, pplied for, and received, a locomotives ordered by the Santa Fe and among the first o~ the big fleet of freight and passenger engines now being delivered.
