Total: 333 cars Formation 2, 3, or 4-car sets The British Rail Class 108 diesel multiple units were built by BR Derby from 1958 to 1961, with a final production quantity of 333 vehicles. Class 108 DMU, nos. 56208 and 51935, at Bewdley on 15 October 2004. This unit is preserved on the Severn Valley Railway. These units stayed in regular service until 1990, when they began to be withdrawn from traffic. They were replaced on regional services by the new "Sprinter" derivative units, or by "Turbo" units on services around London. The final units lasted in traffic until October 1993, although many saw further use in departmental service, as sandite or route-learner units. Good condition on withdrawal and lack of asbestos has ensured that many of this class are now used on preserved railway lines.

A DMU requires no separate locomotive, as the engines are incorporated into one or more of the carriages. They may also be referred to as a railcar or railmotor, depending on country.

  • Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) Fact Sheet February 2016
    Oasis Rail Transit Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) Fact Sheet February 2016 Approximately 17 miles in length, the proposed Oasis Rail Transit corridor extends between downtown Cincinnati and the City of Milford and would initially be served by seven stations. In addition to providing a new rail-based regional transportation option serving Eastern Corridor communities, the Oasis line would also offer new opportunities for community enhancement and development. PREFERRED RAIL VEHICLE TYPE: DMU One of the most prominent features considered for the Oasis line is the actual rail vehicle (or train) that would transport passengers to their destinations. Early studies completed for the Eastern Corridor Program recommended that self-propelled passenger coaches be considered as the preferred rail vehicle type. Further studies explored in more detail the technologies available for the line including: • Diesel-powered locomotives pulling single or bi-level passenger coaches • Electrically-powered streetcar-type vehicles • Electrically-powered light rail vehicles call Electric Multiple Units (EMU/LRT) • Diesel-powered passenger cars (Diesel Multiple Units or DMUs) The results of those studies confirmed that diesel-powered passenger cars, or DMUs, would be the most appropriate technology for the Oasis Rail Transit line. Features of DMUs that made it stand out beyond other rail vehicle choices included: • DMUs are flexible in terms of operational capabilities and can efficiently serve the 17-mile Oasis corridor – which is too short for traditional “push-pull” locomotives and coach cars but More information about rail generally too long for streetcar-type vehicles – and efficiently vehicles is available in the Oasis manage the spacing between stations.

  • Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034 Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034
    OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 INTRODUCTION The Science Museum Group (SMG) through the National Railway Museum (NRM) owns the largest fleet of operating historic locomotives in the United Kingdom, so it’s essential that we have a strategy to ensure the most effective and efficient use of these vehicles. The NRM, Locomotion and Science & Industry Museum in Manchester (SIM) will continue to operate a select number of rail vehicles from our collection. Showing our collections in action is one of the most direct tools we have to share our key values with visitors: revealing wonder, igniting curiosity and sharing authentic stories. What’s more, our visitors expect a train ride. We need to meet that expectation whilst managing our collection in the most professional and responsible manner. A commercially viable and deliverable plan will see a core selection of operating vehicles at York and Locomotion within the maintenance capabilities of teams at those locations. These have been chosen for reasons of accessibility, affordability, income potential, attractiveness to visitors, practicality of operation and sustainable repair as well as the railway stories they reveal. We use our rail vehicles in various ways with priority always given for static display for our visitors at York and Shildon. Other ways in which we use them are: operation on museum sites; static loans to accredited museums; operating loans to heritage railways; main line operation. Our loans reach diverse audiences across the UK, making the national collection accessible to many. These vehicles are brand ambassadors for our mission of inspiring future engineers and scientists.

C for a separate locomotive. Although various designs of ORNILLIE vehicles powered by steam- and gasoline-fueled engines came into service starting in the 1890s, “diesel multiple unit” (DMU) emerged as a term-of-art in the late 1930s to describe vehicles that could operate as single cars or be combined to form a longer train. For the past 60 years, the rail diesel car (RDC) has epit- omized DMU technology in North America. The Budd Company of Philadelphia built nearly 400 RDCs between 1949 and 1962. These cars quickly gained a reputation for The Denton County Transportation Authority operates DMU vehicles between Denton, Texas, and a connection with the reliability, for adaptability to a range of services, and for Dallas Area Rapid Transit System at Carrolton.

  • The Railcar Association Bulletin November 2011
    The Railcar Association Bulletin November 2011 Introduction A busy bulletin this time thanks to the number of contributions and the coincidental number of newsworthy events that have involved DMUs over the last two months. The highlight was of course the annual convention which we are pleased to report came off without a hitch. The Association would like to thank the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway for their efforts in accommodating us. It may be a cliché but I had feedback from several individuals who thought the convention was one of the best in recent years. Following feedback from members, we have agreed the dates and venue for the next convention nice and early, so there will be no excuses for not getting time off work! I hope you all agree that the choice for next years event is a good one. Finally, a separate “Restoration & Overhauls” section has been included this issue, as groups have clearly been busy this autumn doing lots of work on preserved vehicles. 17th Annual Railcar Convention The Railcar Association are pleased to announce that the 17th Annual Convention will be held at the Great Central Railway from Friday 7th September to Sunday 9th September 2012. This will be the first time the Great Central have hosted the event, which should prove unique with the railway’s mainline ethos and five mile double track section. Following feedback from members, the initial announcement has been made earlier than normal so delegates have plenty of time to make arrangements with work etc. This means much of the weekend is still to be planned and confirmed, and updates will be released during 2012.

Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.
