Chapter 2 Existing Conditions Summary
Final Report New Haven Hartford Springfield Commuter Rail Implementation Study 2 Existing Conditions Chapter 2 Existing Conditions Summary This chapter is a summary of the existing conditions report, necessary for comprehension of the remaining chapters. The entire report can be found in Appendix B of this report. 2.1 Existing Passenger Services on the Line The only existing passenger rail service on the Springfield Line is a regional service operated by Amtrak. Schedules for alternatives in Chapter 3 and the Recommended Action in Chapter 4 include current Amtrak service. Most Amtrak service on the line is shuttle trains, running between Springfield and New Haven, where they connect with other Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains. One round-trip train each day operates through the corridor to Boston to the north and Washington to the south. One round trip train each day operates to and from St. Albans, Vermont from New Haven. The trains also permit connections at New Haven with Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (Washington to Boston) service, as well as Metro North service to New York, and Shore Line East local commuter service to New London. Departures are spread throughout the day, with trains typically operating at intervals of two to three hours. Springfield line services are designed as extensions of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor service, and are not scheduled to serve local commuter trips (home to work trips). The Amtrak fare structure was substantially reduced in price since this study began. The original fare structure from November 2002 was shown in the existing conditions report, which can be found in Appendix B. -

Intercity High-Speed Railway Systems • Economic Growth and Increased Employment
Low Carbon Green Growth Roadmap for Asia and the Pacific FACT SHEET If designed well, high-speed railway systems contribute towards: • Improved air quality and lower greenhouse gas emissions4 Intercity high-speed railway systems • Economic growth and increased employment Challenges to using high-speed railway High-speed railway explained • Estimating annual ridership during feasibility stage analysis (and thus returns, including greenhouse gas Definitions of a high-speed railway system vary, but a common one is a rail system designed for maximum train reduction) can be difficult, especially when developments in other transportation modes (air and auto speeds that exceed 200 km per hour for upgraded tracks and 250 km per hour for new tracks. High-speed rail is mobile) are uncertain generally used for intercity transport rather than urban transport. • High investment costs for buying the needed land and building the lines and trains • Long period of construction time and for reaping payback Performance, evaluated Limitations Capacity Approximately 1,000 persons per vehicle. Double-decker trains • High-speed rail lines, once built, are very inflexible. Corridors to be developed must be heavily studied to increase the capacity but also increase drag, and thus increase the determine if the return is likely to be eco-efficient. amount of energy needed. • Increasing train speed requires considerably more electricity. If power is sourced from polluting technologies and/or if load factors are low, high-speed rail can actually exacerbate rather than mitigate Geographical range There is no limit in expanding the line, as long as the demand is high. Generally, high-speed rail can compete with airplane trips of greenhouse gas emissions. -
Why Some Airport-Rail Links Get Built and Others Do Not: the Role of Institutions, Equity and Financing

Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia. -

Comunicato Stampa IN 3 MESI PIÙ DI 5MILA AMICI A QUATTRO ZAMPE SULLE FRECCE lanciata lo scorso luglio, l’iniziativa permette di trasportare sulle Frecce il proprio cane di qualsiasi taglia record di gradimento per il Frecciarossa che supera il 96%, a 95% il Frecciargento Roma, 16 ottobre 2012 Cinquemila biglietti venduti, in poco più di due mesi, per i cani di media e grossa taglia in viaggio sulle Frecce di Trenitalia. L’iniziativa, lanciata lo scorso 25 luglio, ha aperto le porte delle Frecce di Trenitalia anche ai cani di taglia grande. Da allora, quasi un treno su cinque ha ospitato a bordo un cane. Il successo nei numeri trova riscontro anche nell’alto gradimento espresso dalla clientela e ha permesso di consolidare il progetto mettendolo definitivamente a regime da inizio ottobre. Gli amici a quattro zampe sono ammessi su Frecciarossa, Frecciargento, Frecciabianca ed Eurostar Italia, oltre che sui treni dove erano già previsti (Intercity e Notte), sia in 1a che in 2a classe e nei livelli di servizio Business e Standard. La soddisfazione per il servizio offerto dalle Frecce di Trenitalia migliora non solo in relazione alle novità relative all’accesso dei cani. I risultati dell’ultima ricerca di customer satisfaction mostrano tutti gli indici in decisa crescita. In particolare, il Frecciarossa si attesta al 96,1% di clienti soddisfatti del viaggio nel suo complesso, massimo storico, e registra una crescita di 3 punti percentuali fra i così detti “deliziati”, ossia fra coloro che attribuiscono voti pari a 8 e 9. Il Frecciargento raggiunge il 95% di viaggiatori soddisfatti, 2 punti percentuali in più rispetto al 2011. -
Effects of Strong Cross Winds on High-Speed Trains: a Methodol- Ogy for Risk Assessment and Development of Countermeasures
Effects of Strong Cross Winds on High-Speed Trains: A methodol- ogy for risk assessment and development of countermeasures Gerd Matschke, Peter Deeg, Burkhard Schulte-Werning FTZ, Aerodynamik und Klimatechnik Deutsche Bahn AG, Research & Technology Centre Völckerstrasse 5, 80939 München 1 INTRODUCTION The effect of side winds on rail transport has been investigated since the 1970s by interna- tional research, especially by the railways in Germany, England and Japan. For the DB the subject of side winds only became important with the introduction of the ICE2 with its fast, light driving trailer. Since then DB has been involved in intensive interdisciplinary co- operation to develop a generally valid method for rail transport to guarantee that railways can operate safely with a strong side wind. A basic procedure was described and discussed in 1997 at the World Congress for Railway Research [17]. This paper describes the methodology derived from its continuous further development, as summarised in the Draft Code of Practice Ril 401 of Deutsche Bahn pub- lished in May 2000. The procedure specified in Code of Practice Ril 401 was recognised in May 2000 by the Eisenbahn-Bundesamt (Federal Railway Office - EBA) as a means of proving that railway traffic can run safely when there is a side wind and has since then be- come part of the vehicle acceptance procedure used by the EBA. 2 BASIC PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURE The effect of side wind on rail vehicles is basically determined by the following parameters: The vehicle properties such as shape, weight, position of centre of gravity, running gear properties, etc. -
Con Il Cane Sulle Frecce Di Redazione
da Brevi ferroviarie del 20 luglio 2012 Con il cane sulle Frecce di Redazione ROMA - I cani tornano a bordo dei treni. Dal 25 luglio sarà infatti possibile viaggiare con il proprio cane al seguito a bordo di Frecciarossa, Frecciargento, Frecciabianca ed Eurostar Italia (oltre ai treni dove già attualmente è consentito), sia in 1a che in 2a classe come in Business e Standard, ad eccezione dei livelli Executive, Premium, Area del Silenzio e salottini. Questo grazie ad un accordo quadro tra Trenitalia e Federazione Italiana Associazioni Diritti Animali e Ambiente, siglato oggi a bordo di un ETR.500 Frecciarossa a Roma Termini da Mauro Moretti e l'Onorevole Michela Vittoria Brambilla. 1. Mauro Moretti amministratore del Gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane e l'Onorevole Michela Vittoria Brambilla, presidente nonché fondatrice d1ella LEga Italiana per la Difesa degli Animali (LEIDA). (Foto David Campione, 20 luglio 2012) Per salire a bordo con il proprio amico a quattro zampe, il proprietario dovrà acquistare un biglietto prezzo Base (previsto per il treno utilizzato) ridotto del 50%. Prima del viaggio sarà necessario disporre di museruola e guinzaglio, certificato di iscrizione all'anagrafe canina (per i cittadini stranieri l'apposito passaporto del cane) e libretto sanitario. Fanno eccezione i cani guida per non vedenti, che invece continueranno a viaggiare su tutti i treni gratuitamente e senza alcun obbligo. Il biglietto per il trasporto del cane può essere acquistato nelle biglietterie e nelle agenzie abilitate, collegandolo a quello dell'accompagnatore ed è valido solo se utilizzato per il treno ed il giorno prenotato. Gli animali di piccola taglia, custoditi nell'apposito trasportino, continueranno a poter viaggiare gratuitamente su tutti i treni del gruppo FS, così come avviene già oggi. -
Touring Europe by Rail
541102 Ch01.qxd 2/25/04 8:54 AM Page 1 1 Touring Europe by Rail Rich, ancient, and incredibly diverse, the nations of Europe offer a vast array of sights, climates, cultures, and cuisines. The ten trips outlined below show the full reach of the European rail system; feel free to mix and match parts of them to create your ideal vacation. Where possible, we’ve used overnight trains on these trips, as they save you the cost of a hotel night, maximize your sightseeing time, and are a rail experi- ence in and of themselves. Remember that overnight trains, as well as the Eurostar Chunnel train, French TGV trains, and most high-speed trains, require extra reservation fees over the price of your railpass. (See p. 35 for more on overnight trains.) We’ve recommended railpasses for those itineraries below that would make good use of them; where point-to-point tickets are cheaper, we’ve noted that as well. (For an overview of when to buy a pass and when to go point-to-point, see p. 42.) Exact train times and prices are subject to change—the details in these pages were accurate as of December 2003, but you should double-check all train schedules when plotting out your journey. For more on navigating rail sched- ules, see p. 30. 1 1-Week Itineraries The average North American vacation is a mere 7 days long (we know, too short!). To help you make the best of your time in Europe, we’ve put together five 1-week rail itineraries that will give you a taste of some of the best Europe has to offer. -

Ministry of Railways, Govt. of India Government of India Ministry of Railways (Research, Design & Standards Organisation, Lucknow) FOREWORD High‐speed rail (HSR) brings clear and significant economic benefits to the communities they serve not only in terms of rise in GDP, but also in terms of its environmental impact. HSR uses much less energy per mile than auto or air travel. HSR transit is thus quickly gaining popularity as a key alternative in transportation policy planning. HSR also presents significant technological challenges as it requires synergy amongst a number of engineering disciplines. It is heartening to see the book “High Speed Rail Technology” by Mr. Gaurav Agarwal, Director(E&R)/ME, Railway Board which is a sincere effort towards collating all the relevant information relating to HSR at one place. -
