The NYCSHS Modelers’ Committee For almost three years, we have had an official modeling committee that has focused on modeling the NYCS. This has been a hard-working committee. The members of the committee are: Ron Parisi, Brian Marotta, Dave Mackay, Ralph Schiring, Tom Ball, Jeff English, Noel Widdifield, Dave Staplin, Paul Pickard, Larry Faulkner, Manuel Duran- Duran, Kyle Coble, Dan Seligmann, Seth Lakin, and Rich Stoving. We have a Yahoo Group for the committee and have had a meeting a month to work on several projects. We continue to bring new modeling features to the Society. We released the NYC Panel- Side 55-ton hopper and are working on the 19000 caboose. We are currently working with Accurail to release an MDT Reefer.

Flynn 1 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001 Chief Executive Officer Email [email protected] Tel 202-906-3963 June 28, 2021 The Honorable Peter DeFazio The Honorable Sam Graves Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves: I am writing to express Amtrak’s concerns about reports that the House may include in the INVEST in America Act an amendment that would create a “North Atlantic Rail Compact” (NARC) with an ostensible charge to construct an ill-defined “North Atlantic Rail Network.” Amtrak is strongly opposed to the adoption of this amendment and the likely negative consequences of such a decision for the Northeast Corridor and the national rail network. Adopting the amendment would establish – without any hearings, committee consideration, studies or opportunity for those impacted by the proposal to be heard – support for an infeasible proposal, previously rejected because of the harm it would do to the environment, by an advocacy group called North Atlantic Rail (NAR) to build a new, up to 225 mph dedicated high-speed rail line between New York City and Boston. The dedicated high-speed rail line’s route (NAR Alignment) would not follow the existing Northeast Corridor (NEC) alignment that parallels Interstate 95. Instead, it would travel beneath the East River in a new tunnel; cross dense urban sections of Queens and Long Island to Ronkonkoma; turn north to Port Jefferson; traverse the Long Island Sound in a 16-mile tunnel to Stratford, Connecticut; and after passing through New Haven and Hartford, turn east across Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island to Providence, from which it would follow the existing NEC rail corridor to Boston.

It’s a story that stretches back which good food is common fare, to the foodways of Native peoples who were devastated by European colonization and extends and encouraged us to plant and build through the present into the future. It’s a story that generates questions and choices as New that future, apple by apple, stone by stone. Englanders decide what’s important for their immediate and long-term food futures. This vision is bold in scope and aspiration.

  • New England Daniel Ezra Johnson and David Durian
    chapter 11 New England Daniel Ezra Johnson and David Durian 11.1 Introduction The six New England states, although they contain less than 5% of the population of the United States (and comprise less than 2.5% of its area), have played an outsized role in the political, economic, and cultural his- tory of the nation. In the study of American dialects, too, a strong focus has been placed on New England. In part, this has resulted from a per- ception that it is the home of a great deal of linguistic diversity, consid- ering its size. And the speech of Boston (and eastern New England more generally) does have some characteristics – for example, the combination of non-rhoticity and the use of the “broad a” – that are fairly unique in the North American context, and recall features of some Southern British English varieties. The early volumes ofDialect Notes contained many contributions from New England. Then, the pilot endeavor of the Linguistic Atlas of the United States and Canada (LAUSC) project was chosen to be the Linguistic Atlas of New England (LANE) (Kurath, et al. 1939–1943). These volumes, mod- eled on contemporary European dialect atlases, turned out to be the only LAUSC product that would be published in the form of an atlas. LANE is known for the attention paid to social class and age in its sam- pling procedure (the oldest speakers were born before 1850), and for the use of nine fieldworkers to cover the territory, each trained in on-the-spot phonetic transcription (since recording devices were not available at the time of initial fieldwork).
