  • Freight Rail B
    FREIGHT RAIL B Pennsylvania has 57 freight railroads covering 5127 miles across the state, ranking it 4th largest rail network by mileage in the U.S. By 2035, 246 million tons of freight is expected to pass through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, an increase of 22 percent over 2007 levels. Pennsylvania’s railroad freight demand continues to exceed current infrastructure. Railroad traffic is steadily returning to near- World War II levels, before highways were built to facilitate widespread movement of goods by truck. Rail projects that could be undertaken to address the Commonwealth’s infrastructure needs total more than $280 million. Annual state-of-good-repair track and bridge expenditures for all railroad classes within the Commonwealth are projected to be approximately $560 million. Class I railroads which are the largest railroad companies are poised to cover their own financial needs, while smaller railroads are not affluent enough and some need assistance to continue service to rural areas of the state. BACKGROUND A number of benefits result from using rail freight to move goods throughout the U.S. particularly on longer routes: congestion mitigation, air quality improvement, enhancement of transportation safety, reduction of truck traffic on highways, and economic development. Railroads also remain the safest and most cost efficient mode for transporting hazardous materials, coal, industrial raw materials, and large quantities of goods. Since the mid-1800s, rail transportation has been the centerpiece of industrial production and energy movement. Specifically, in light of the events of September 11, 2001 and from a national security point of view, railroads are one of the best ways to produce a more secure system for transportation of dangerous or hazardous products.

  • Planning Context
    1. Preface This plan serves as the update to Chapter 12, the transportation plan element, of the 2003 Cumberland County Comprehensive Plan. Background information and specific statistics on the modes of transportation in the county can be found in Chapter 11 of the comprehensive plan and in the Harrisburg Area Transportation Study (HATS) Long Range Transportation Plan1. 2. Introduction Cumberland County is home to a variety of transportation resources ranging from interstate highways to sidewalks in local neighborhoods. The transportation infrastructure found in the county supports the national, state and local economies and the high quality of life in our communities, alike. The value of our transportation system warrants the county’s involvement in its planning, design, construction and maintenance. Cumberland County’s transportation planning authority emanates from Article III of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (MPC), Act 247 of 1968. The MPC requires county comprehensive plans to include a plan for the “movement of people and goods” that includes all modes of transportation. Under this planning authorization the county’s actual role in planning and implementing improvements for all modes of transportation must be carefully managed. This plan identifies the salient transportation issues and needs facing the county and recommends a series of county-based strategies and action steps aimed at addressing the identified needs and issues. 3. Highways and Bridges Issues and Needs Cumberland County has an extensively developed highway network that provides for local, regional, and national transportation. All roads in the county are owned and maintained by municipalities, the state, or the federal government. The rich hydrologic resources of Cumberland County are spanned by 438 bridges that are over 20’ in length2.

  • HATS Regional Freight Plan Update Followed the Following Primary Tasks
    Harrisburg Area TransportaƟ on Study REGIONAL FREIGHT PLAN Thursday, June 29, 2017 September 2017 This page intentionally left blank Harrisburg Area Transportation Study Regional Freight Plan Prepared for: Harrisburg Area Transportation Study 112 Market Street, 2nd Floor Harrisburg, PA 17101 (717) 234‐2639 www.tcrpc‐pa.org/hats/ By: Michael Baker International, Inc. 4431 N. Front Street Harrisburg, PA 17110 (717) 213‐2900 September 22, 2017 The preparation of this publication was financed in part through the United States Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. 4 Harrisburg Area Transportation Study Regional Freight Plan Message from the MPO Chairman Dear reader – Whether you are a municipal official, major shipper/receiver, or freight carrier, we all share a common objective: to keep our regional freight infrastructure operating at peak condition. We all recognize that having good freight infrastructure is a vital part of maintaining our economy. The Greater Harrisburg area has historically served as a freight hub – that distinction has only grown, even as our economic base has transitioned from one of manufacturing to one of transportation and logistics. The Harrisburg Area Transportation Study continues to work with PennDOT and its many partners in investing in our freight transportation system. This includes notable, high‐profile projects such as the widening of Interstate 81 between PA 581 and PA 114, and improvements to Interstate 83 in Dauphin County. More are on the way. The formal update of the regional freight plan over the past year has provided us with an opportunity to take a closer look at the freight concerns our region faces.

  • RAIL (FREIGHT) B 2006 Report Card for Pennsylvania’S Infrastructure
    RAIL (FREIGHT) B 2006 Report Card for Pennsylvania’s Infrastructure In 1998, 919 million tons of freight passed through the Commonwealth. In 2020, that value is expected to be 1,397 million tons. Railroad freight demand is growing at a much faster rate than the general population, and railroad traffic is steadily approaching World War II levels. Projects that could be undertaken to address the Commonwealth’s infrastructure needs total some $280 million. Annual state of good repair track and bridge expenditures for all railroad classes within the state are projected to be approximately $560 million. Class I and larger railroads are more poised to cover their own financial needs. Smaller railroads are not as fortunate and need the most assistance to remain competitive. BACKGROUND A number of benefits result from supporting rail freight: congestion mitigation, air quality improvement, improving transportation safety, curtailing truck traffic growth on highways, job growth and economic development. Railroads also remain the safest and most viable mode for transporting hazardous materials, coal, industrial raw materials and large quantities of goods. Since the mid-1800’s, rail transportation has been the centerpiece of industrial production and energy generation. Specifically, in light of September 11th and from a national security point of view, railroads are one of most secure options for transporting dangerous or hazardous products. In fact, the majority of spent nuclear fuel rods will likely be sent via rail to the newly established federal depository. Surely, many of these shipments will pass through the Keystone State. By further improving the rail infrastructure, railroad operation can become even safer and more difficult to disrupt by any terrorist group.

  • Freight Rail Projects
    Pennnsylvania Intercity Passenger and Freight Rail Plan Appendix 9 Freight Rail Projects SEPTEMBER 2010 Appendix 9 Freight Rail Projects In an effort to identify the capital needs of the freight industry in Pennsylvania, PennDOT conducted an extensive outreach initiative, in coordination with the Keystone State Railroad Association, to secure input from all 65 operating railroads within the Pennsylvania freight rail network. This outreach effort included solicitation for planned capital projects at rail-related conferences and e-mail correspondence, as well as follow-up telephone calls during July and August 2010. The project submissions provided in the following table characterize the full extent of known planned capital investments for railroad infrastructure across Pennsylvania as of August 2010. The table is organized alphabetically by railroad and lists projects by implementation timeframe (near-term: 1-3 years, mid-term: 3-5, and long-term: more than 5 years). Brief project descriptions, location, and estimated costs are also included. Project categories were contributed by the Keystone State Railroad Association. PennDOT will also evaluate all submitted projects against the goals and objectives outlined in the Pennsylvania Intercity Passenger and Freight Rail Plan to assist the Department in making future funding decisions. PennDOT’s grant application process will be used to maintain a current list of projects.
