GENERAL INFORMATION A. Initial Contact: Guilford Transportation Industries-Rail Division (Boston and Maine Corp., Maine Central Railroad Company, and the Springfield Terminal Railway Company) owns rail lines in New England and the Northeast. In 1976 a portion of the Boston and Maine was sold to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, but is still operated over by the B&M. The B&M System and the MBTA sale is shown on the system map entitled "Boston and Maine Corp. - Lines Operated", at the end of this section. The sale consists of lines primarily North and Northwest of Metropolitan Boston, within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Projects contemplated upon lines owned by GTI-Rail Division, the submission of plans and specifications should be made to the attention of the Chief Engineer-Design and Construction, GTI-Rail Division at the operating Railroad's headquarters. Also all legal documents and agreements should be made with the operating Railroad. If the project contemplated is upon a line owned by the MBTA and operated by the B&M, the submission of plans and specifications should be made to the Chief Engineering Officer - Railroad Operations, MBTA, Ten Park Plaza, Boston, MA 02116 with a copy to the B&M Attention: Chief Engineer-Design and Construction. B. Plans and Specifications: 1 • SCOPE: It is the intent of the Railroad to eliminate or minimize any risk involved with construction on or affecting Railroad property. Therefore, we require Railroad approval of the plans and specifications for all phases of the proposed construction. The initial submission should contain three (3) sets for review with a later submission of five (5) sets for final approval. 2. PLANS: The plans are to show all the work which involves the Railroad (in some cases a partial set of the construction plans may be acceptable). They should contain a location map, a plan view of the project, with appropriate profiles and cross sections, and sufficient details. The proposed construction is to be located with respect to top of rail and centerline of track. Also to be included on the plan is Railroad stationing, property lines and subsurface soil conditions. The subsurface soils information is to be in the form of boring logs with the borings located on the plan view. (Please familiarize yourself with Railroad policy with regards to obtaining borings on Railroad property in Section II A.) - 2 - A00803 - 5 Proposal No. 608612-107113 All pipe laid on Railroad property, adjacent to operating tracks must be capable of withstanding Railroad live loading. If reinforced concrete pipe is used, it must be Class 5 R.C. Pipe. Pipe sleeves under Railroad tracks and along the right-of-way shall not be less than 5'6" below the base of rail. Under secondary or industry tracks, this distance may be reduced to 4'6", pending Railroad approval. The length of the pipe sleeve shall be the greatest length produced from the Railroad requirements shown on sheet 5, entitled "GTI Rail Division Requirements for Minimum Jacking Sleeve Lengths". 3. SPECIFICATIONS: The Specifications contained in Section III are the Standard Specifications of the Railroad. They apply to all types of construction work on the Railroad, including steel sleeves 30" in diameter and greater. These specifications are to be included in their entirety as a special section on the job specifications. NOTE: Railroad specifications are the minimum require- ments. In the event the contract specifications or drawings demand more stringent requirements, then, pending Railroad approval, the more stringent requirements will prevail. On those projects which occur on MBTA property, the Standard MBTA Specifications are to be used. C. Review of Plans and Specifications: 1. Project on lines owned by GTI-Rail Division: The GTI-Rail Division requires payment for services it renders in the review of plans, specifications and related consultations, to cover crossings, bridges, pipes, conduits, wires, etc. which encroach upon Railroad property. An initial advance lump sum nonrefundable deposit to cover the cost of review is required. The amount of deposit will be determined at the time the initial submission is made. No work will proceed until the advance deposit has been received. Checks are to be made payable to the Operating Railroad. - 3 - A00803 - 6 Proposal No. 608612-107113 .· I BosToN AND MAINE CoRP •.:.---;- .-- /. .! . LINES OPfRIITEO ... · '-. C==:::::t ....

GTI-RAIL DIVISION POLICIES A. Regarding obtaining Surface and Subsurface Information. In the event that the property either operated or owned by GTI-Rail Division has to be entered upon to obtain surface or subsurface information, the contractor is to obtain Railroad approval for the boring locations, Railroad insurance, and execute the Standard Railroad Service Contract, prior to any work being done. The Assistant Chief Engineer-Design should be contacted for information and initiation of this process. B. Regarding Underground Utility Crossings. 1. Method of Installation: (a) In a Public Way: (No work shall be done without engineer approval by the Railroad and a Railroad Inspector present.) 1. In or immediately adjacent to an at-grade crossing which has been rebuilt within the past ten (10) years, no open cuts will be allowed. All sleeves will be installed by the jacking method. 2. In or immediately adjacent to an at-grade crossing not scheduled for rebuilding, the preferred method of installation is by jacking. As an alternate, the sleeve may be installed by open cut within an acceptable depth, with strict adherence to the backfill specifications, and with the Owners paying for the complete rebuilding of the crossing, train schedule permitting. 3. In or immediately adjacent to an at-grade crossing scheduled for rebuilding the preferred method of installation is by jacking. As an alternate, within seven (7) calendar days of the scheduled date of the crossing reconstruction, the sleeve may be installed by open cut within an acceptable depth, train schedule permitting. Strict adherence shall be made to the backfill specifica­ tions, which provides the Railroad with written certification from a testing lab or P.E. registered in the State in which the work is performed, that the backfill density requirements of the Railroad specifications have been met or exceeded.

  • Discover the Royal River and Its Tributaries FISHING THE
    Discover the Royal River and its Tributaries FISHING THE INTERVALE The Royal River is a coastal stream that originates at Sabbathday Lake and flows east, eventually emptying into the Casco Bay in Yarmouth. The most common fish species anglers find in this area are Brook Trout (photo top), Brown Trout (photo bottom), American Eel, Rainbow Smelt, Catfish, and Smallmouth Bass. Each year the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife stocks this section of the River with thousands of Brook and Brown Trout ranging from as little as 1 inch fish to up to 10 inches. Although Brown Trout are technically a non-native species, they are an economically important recreational fishery that were introduced into the Royal River and can grow up to 20 inches in length. Trout, especially the native Brook Trout are very sensitive to environmental changes and can be a good indication of the health of the river. Historically, the Royal River sustained populations of River Herring and Atlantic Salmon. Although once plentiful along the Maine coast and in the rivers during spawning season, Atlantic Salmon populations have been absent from the Royal for decades. Restoration of herring and other species has been the topic of fish passage discussions in recent years in Yarmouth. At the end of the small spur trail, in the marsh, look for a copper and glass sculpture by Evan Haynes titled “Diatoms,” mounted on a granite post. Evan is a sculptor living in North Yarmouth and New Zealand. Etched into the glass block are diatoms and other types of algae. These microscopic plants are among the largest and ecologically most significant group of organisms on the planet.
