  • 4.3.2 Existing Standard for Fire Fighting and Management of Metro the Characteristics of the Fire Accidents Are Indicated in the Preceding Section
    JICA PREPARATORY SURVEY ON GREATER CAIRO METRO LINE NO. 4 4.3.2 Existing Standard for Fire Fighting and Management of Metro The characteristics of the fire accidents are indicated in the preceding section. According to the type of tunnels, the standard/design guideline for fire accident management is regulated by some countries taking these characteristics into consideration. On the other hand, the countries which do not have tunnels and underground stations blindly use or apply other country’s standard/design guideline. As a result, the scale of the tunnel and station becomes more excessive than its requirement in some cases. In order to apply appropriate measure and method, the present conditions of standards/guidelines for metro construction/operation in the world are explained in this section and some points of these standards are studied in the following section. (1) NFPA 130 (USA) NFPA 130 which is the “Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems” is the standard of USA for the design of the metro. It is widely used in countries which do not have their own standard/regulation and it has strong influence in other countries. So far, this standard is applied for the metro in India, Singapore, etc. NFPA 130 is one of the strictest standards and it could not be often applied for the old metro which was constructed before NFPA 130, which was established in 1983. If this standard is applied strictly, the structure of the tunnel and station tends to be bigger and the cost of the construction also tends to be higher.

  • Water Stations Along the AC&Y
    A.C.&Y. H.S. Volume XX Number 2 Fall – Winter 2015 Water Stations Along the AC&Y Official Publication of the Akron, Canton & Youngstown R.R. Historical Society Editorial From Bob Lucas . This issue presents the locomotive water sources on the AC&Y-Northern Ohio and the infrastructure supporting storage and delivery along the 169-mile right-of-way. Water is a foundation for steam era railroads, though the topic is seldom covered to any degree. A steam railroad that does not effectively manage its water resources won’t be a viable railroad for long. Water affects many key decisions – route selection process (survey / construction), locomotive and tender acquisitions, crew districts and http://www.acyhs.org train service levels. Railroads that stop trains frequently for water simply won’t remain competitive. Front cover: In 1944, the Akron Beacon Journal The evolution of railroads, both in North America and published a feature on AC&Y’s many contributions to the around the world, began with harnessing the expansive War effort. A colorized “rotogravure” photo featured power of vaporized water, otherwise known as steam. Class C 0-8-0 number 35 switching at Brittain yard with Steam became the basis of the industrial revolution, a start the original wood water tank visible. AC&YHS Archive generally attributed to Thomas Newcomen’s invention of the first steam engine in 1712.
