FTA implemented this study to research the institutional arrangements, service characteristics and costs associated with vintage trolley systems currently being operated in order to provide a base of information with which to make informed funding decisions for future projects. FTA also requested that comparable information be obtained for several downtown bus circulator systems which might bean alternative to the implementation of vintage trolley services. Background In 1917, there were 44,800 miles of electric railway trackage in the United States. The combination of growing automobile usage and improved roads led to the demise of electric railway transportation from the 1920s through 1950s. Today, the United States is witnessing a growing renaissance of vintage trolley systems. Vintage trolleys have been successfully integrated into the public transportation systems in several cities. Businessmen in many areas have pursued vintage trolley service as a means to stimulate local business in redeveloped or historic areas.

  • 4.0 Proposed Freight Rail Improvements and Investments (PDF)
    4.0 PROPOSED FREIGHT RAIL IMPROVEMENTS AND INVESTMENTS As noted in CHAPTER 3, the 2010 rail plan included a needs analysis for all freight and potential passenger rail corridors in Minnesota. This process was developed in a manner that allowed for a clear understanding of rail system needs for both current and future (2030) freight and passenger operations. A full needs analysis was not undertaken for the 2015 Minnesota State Rail Plan. Instead, projects identified on freight-only corridors in 2010 were brought forward as a basis for the update, and were complemented with crossing safety improvements and a qualitative description of capacity improvements in the past five years. The latter category incorporates projects recently identified in the 2014 Grade Crossing Safety Report compiled by MnDOT. For the most part, cost estimates presented in this document are general in nature, are reflected in original 2010 dollars and are not detailed engineering cost estimates. Although some corridors provide connections to points beyond the state border, this evaluation only reflects costs for work within Minnesota.60 More detailed information about the cost evaluation can be found in Appendix C, which also contains the detailed project list. This section is organized around previously identified capacity improvements on freight corridors—track, signal and bridge; weight, speed and track restrictions; and other major Class I improvments, followed by discussions of other potential investment areas including major capacity improvements, intermodal service expansion, positive train control, rail service relocation, and hazardous materials. Lastly, grade crossing safety needs across key crude oil corridors are specified. Overall rail needs and improvements are organized by freight rail operator and then by subdivision.
