  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant
    Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.

  • 10.21.2020 Flynn Amtrak Testimony.Pdf
    Testimony of William Flynn President and Chief Executive Officer National Railroad Passenger Corporation Before the United States Senate Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Passenger and Freight Rail: The Current Status of the Rail Network and the Track Ahead Wednesday, October 21, 2020 10:00 a.m. Russell Senate Office Building, Room 253 Amtrak 1 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20001-1401 (202) 906-3918 Amtrak and COVID-19 Introduction Good morning, Chairman Wicker, Ranking Member Cantwell, and Members of this Committee. Thank you for calling this hearing today to discuss Amtrak and COVID-19. My name is William Flynn, and this is my first opportunity to testify before you as Amtrak’s president and chief exec- utive officer, a position I assumed in April of this year. Let me start by thanking the thousands of Amtrak employees who have risen to the challenges associated with COVID-19 and have remained focused on Amtrak’s mission to provide safe, re- liable transportation to our customers and your constituents. Ticket agents, conductors, train attendants, red caps, cleaners, and dozens of other specialties are doing their part to keep America moving, and I am very proud of to be a part of the team. I come from a railroad family. My father and uncle were locomotive engineers, and my brother was an Amtrak conductor and local union chair. My first transportation job during summer break from college was working on a maintenance-of-way gang that was installing welded rail on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) in New England. In 43 years in the transportation industry, I have had the opportunity to serve in a multitude of roles in ocean shipping, airline, and railroad companies.
