  • High Speed Rail in Spain - a Statement from a Foreign Expert
    25 número 6 - junio - 2018. Pág 477 - 509 High Speed Rail in Spain - a statement from a foreign expert Andersen, Sven Senior Consultant for High Speed Rail1 Abstract In Spain all high speed trains run over tracks in a special built high speed network. No disturbing influences have to be taken into account for daily operation process. This is a great advantage. Spain shares this advantage with the high speed rail networks in Japan, Taiwan and China. Running trains on parallel train paths and at least from case to case in 3 minutes headway to each other is a basic condition to reach a high use to capacity. But Spain is running trains with different speeds on its high speed lines. Another condition for a high cost-benefitratio is a strict regular service with at least one service per hour. RENFE however is running the AVE trains in a rather irregular timetable. Some examples will be presented to demonstrate this fact. The author gives some comparisons of travel times in Spain, Japan and China. The routing data of the AVE line Madrid - Sevilla is compared with those of the Shinkansen Shin Osaka - Hakata. Based on this comparison the author proposes an upgrading of the AVE-Line Madrid - Sevilla for 300 km/h. A strict regular service for all AVE lines can be developed on the basis of a new travel time Madrid - Sevilla with 118 min together with a 142 min nonstop travel time Barcelona - Madrid. The cost-benefit analysis shows several results, above all nearly 100% more train kilometres as well as saving of running days from EMU’s and track change constructions.

  • Can You Top This? by Stanwood C. Griffith Continued from the Spring
    Can You Top This? By Stanwood C. Griffith Continued from the Spring 2009 First & Fastest While I was in college at Champaign, Illinois, in 1947-1948, I had a car. A group of trolley fans were glad to help me get some good out of it, and we used to do fantrips to Iowa. We did plenty to St. Louis too, but we had the Illinois Terminal to furnish the transportation there. Speaking of the Illinois Terminal, you may add St. Louis, and the St. Louis Waterworks railway. Not everyone has ridden this. On one of our Iowa trips we stopped at the Rock Island Southern Galesburg switching yard. They had a big beautiful box express motor bought from the Eastern Michigan Railway when they abandoned, but it was out of service. This car lives on though in the 2’ gauge, half-scale box motor, on the Rock River Valley Traction line. This particular day they were switching with a CD&M passenger car with the back half of the body cut off making a freight deck. One of these Iowa trips was a Fort Dodge trip from Des Moines all the way out the Rockwell City line. This was the line where several months later, a Fort Dodge steeple cab with a train ran into the middle of another train already actively occupying a steam railroad crossing. From Rockwell City we went back to the main line to Fort Dodge, then up to Fort Dodge, and east to Webster City. There was a very strong wind blowing from the northwest and the trip outbound to Rockwell was not too fast, but the wind pushed the car along at high speed to the east.

Abstract In the United States, passenger rail has always been less competitive than in other parts of the world due to a number of factors. Many argue that in order for a passenger rail network to be successful major changes in service improvement have to be implemented to make it more desirable to the user. High-speed rail can offer such service improvement. With the current administration’s allocation of $8 billion in its stimulus package for the development of high-speed rail corridors and a number of regions being interested in venturing into such projects it is important that we understand the factors and regulatory structure that needs to exist in order for passenger railroad to be successful.
