    DC2RVA Tier II Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Section 4(F)

    PURPOSE AND NEED 1 FOR THE PROPOSED ACTION D.C. TO RICHMOND SOUTHEAST HIGH SPEED RAIL 1 PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROPOSED ACTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) propose passenger rail service and rail infrastructure improvements in the north-south travel corridor between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, VA. These passenger rail service and rail infrastructure improvements are collectively known as the Washington, D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail Project (DC2RVA Project). The Project will increase capacity to deliver higher speed passenger rail, expand commuter rail, and accommodate growth of freight rail service, in an efficient and reliable multimodal rail corridor. While there is overlap in how intercity passenger rail and commuter rail services are defined, typically intercity passenger rail facilitates business and leisure travel between central business districts. Intercity passenger rail includes both regional and long-distance services; long-distance passenger rail covers distances longer than 750 miles and does not receive financial support from the states it serves. Regional passenger rail includes routes less than 750 miles and receive funding support from states. Typically, the termini for regional passenger rail service fall within geographic areas that share similar characteristics, such as economic, environmental, infrastructure, and historical/cultural ties. Commuter rail service can travel through multiple central business districts but generally provides short-haul rail service with morning and evening peaks in ridership and service levels that facilitates travel to work. The increased capacity will improve passenger rail service frequency, reliability and travel time in a corridor shared by growing volumes of passenger, commuter, and freight rail traffic, thereby providing a door-to-door time-competitive option for travelers between Washington, D.C.

    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 06/15/2018 and available online at https://federalregister.gov/d/2018-12846, and on FDsys.gov BILLING CODE: 7533-01-P National Transportation Safety Board Investigative Hearing Two recent Amtrak (National Railroad Passenger Corporation) accidents have motivated this investigative hearing: first, an Amtrak overspeed derailment in a 30 mph curve that occurred in DuPont, Washington, and, second, an Amtrak head-on collision with a standing freight train in Cayce, South Carolina. The first accident occurred on December 18, 2017, at 7:33 a.m., Pacific standard time, and involved southbound Amtrak passenger train 501, consisting of a leading and trailing locomotive, a power car, 10 passenger railcars, and a luggage car. Train 501 was traveling at 78 mph when it derailed from a highway overpass near DuPont, Washington. The train was on its first regular passenger service trip on a single main track (Lakewood subdivision) at milepost (MP) 19.86. The lead locomotive, the power car, and two passenger railcars derailed onto Interstate 5. Fourteen highway vehicles came into contact with the derailed equipment. At the time of the accident, 77 passengers, 5 Amtrak employees, and a Talgo Incorporated technician were on the train.1 Of these individuals, 3 passengers were killed and 62 passengers and crewmembers were injured. Eight individuals in highway vehicles were also injured. The damage is estimated to be more than $40 million. At the time of the accident, the temperature was 48°F, the wind was from the south at 9 mph, and the visibility was 10 miles in light rain.
