It demonstrates Passenger Rail the progress that has been made over the last two decades in terms of growing ridership, new rail services, capital improvements and new funding opportunities. It demonstrates the regional importance and significance of passenger rail in the SCAG region, and why growing rail services by increasing frequencies in underserved corridors, as well as establishing service in unserved markets, is crucial to the future mobility and sustainability of our region. The report highlights recent success in establishing new funding opportunities for passenger rail, including the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) and Senate Bill (SB) 1. Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner intercity rail service is benefiting from these new funding opportunities as well as recent institutional arrangements that establish local control for the service. The Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) Southern California Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) program is an ambitious long-term capital improvement program to increase service on most of its lines to 15- and 30-minute frequencies, and SCRRA was recently awarded nearly one billion dollars in TIRCP funds for initial improvements. Finally, the report takes a look at existing conditions; a needs assessment which discusses, among other things, capacity constraints and opportunities for improved connectivity, including rail access to the region’s airports; and rail projects in the pipeline, both under construction and unfunded strategic long-term projects.

  • Ninth Edition
    Issue No. 9 (SPECIAL) - Friday, October 16, 2020 NINTH EDITION HERITAGE BUDD RDC CARS COMING TO WATERLOO REGIONREGIONREGION This issue is dedicated to a very special announcement by the Waterloo Central Railway and the Southern Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society. Over the last several months we have been working toward preserving another significant part of Canadian railway history. In the mid-1950’s the advent of the Budd Rail Diesel Car, famously known as the RDC, or in Canada as the Dayliner or Railliner, changed rail passenger travel permitting a more economical way to provide rail passenger service on both main and branch lines throughout the country. We are most fortunate to have acquired from VIA Rail RDC-1’s 6135, 6148 and RDC-2 6205, all three of which were stored serviceable several years ago. Along with these three RDC’s we have also acquired RDC-1’s 6111 and 6138 which although are in less favourable condition were worth saving from the scrappers torch. This issue will showcase our significant heritage acquisition along with the history of the RDC in North America. If you are not too keen on “Budd Cars”, this may not be the issue for you! Photo by Peter McGough New Additons To The WCR Heritage Rail Collection This remarkable set of events leading the WCR to this once in a lifetime acquisition for a heritage railway was put in motion by two volunteers who separately earlier this year had travelled by VIA passing the VIA Toronto Maintenance Centre noticing a number of Budd RDC cars stored there and which had been there for some time.

The Hatch Act of 1887 provided annual funding for agricultural research at Land Grant Universities. The original Oregon experiment station was started in 1888 at Corvallis, on 35 acres and had a single laboratory. Currently, branch experiment stations are located at Aurora, Hood River, Moro, Hermiston, Pendleton, Union, Burns, Redmond, Medford, Klamath Falls, and Ontario. Local History In 1942 local farmers asked Oregon State University to establish a branch experiment station in Malheur County. Money was raised locally to buy the land which was eventually deeded to OSU in the mid- 1950s. Research operations began in 1942. Neil Hoffman was the first superintendent of the Malheur Experiment Station from 1946 to 1977. Facilities The Malheur Experiment Station includes 120 acres of row crop land and field equipment appropriate to research on onions, sugar beets, potatoes, small grains, alfalfa seed, and weed control research. Specialized facilities include an onion storage, onion artificial drier, potato storage, potato quality laboratory, and weather station. The potato quality laboratory emphasizes determinations of potato specific gravity and dark-end fry color. Nitrogen analyses are made in the laboratory for wheat and alfalfa research.
