Washington, D.C. 20594 National Transportation Safety Board. 2017. Amtrak Train Collision with Maintenance-of-Way Equipment, Chester, Pennsylvania, April 3, 2016. NTSB/RAR-17/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: On April 3, 2016, about 7:50 a.m. eastern daylight time, southbound Amtrak train 89 (train 89) struck a backhoe with a worker inside at milepost 15.7 near Chester, Pennsylvania. The train was authorized to operate on main track 3 (track 3) at the maximum authorized speed of 110 mph. Beginning on the morning of April 1, Amtrak had scheduled track-bed restoration―ballast vacuuming—at milepost 15.7 on track 2 on the Philadelphia to Washington Line. Track 2 had to be taken out of service between control points Baldwin (milepost 11.7) and Hook (milepost 16.8) for the 55 hour duration of the project. As train 89 approached milepost 15.7, the locomotive engineer saw equipment and workers on and near track 3 and initiated an emergency brake application. The train speed was 106 mph before the emergency brake application and 99 mph when it struck the backhoe. Two roadway workers were killed, and 39 other people were injured. Amtrak estimated property damages to be $2.5 million.

Shelby Chairman The Honorable Frank R. Lautenberg Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Transportation Committee on Appropriations United States Senate The Honorable Frank R. Wolf Chairman The Honorable Martin Olav Sabo Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Transportation and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Since it began operations in 1971, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) has never been profitable and has received about $21 billion in federal subsidies for operating and capital expenses. In December 1994, at the direction of the administration, Amtrak established the goal of eliminating its need for federal operating subsidies by 2002. However, despite efforts to control expenses and improve efficiency, Amtrak has only reduced its annual net loss from $834 million in fiscal year 1994 to $762 million in fiscal year 1997, and it projects that its net loss will grow to $845 million this fiscal year.1 Amtrak remains heavily dependent on substantial federal operating and capital subsidies. Given Amtrak’s continued dependence on federal operating subsidies, the Conference Report to the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1998 directed us to examine the financial (1) performance of Amtrak’s current routes, (2) implications for Amtrak of multiyear capital requirements and declining federal operating subsidies, and (3) effect on Amtrak of reforms contained in the Amtrak Reform and Accountability Act of 1997.

  • Connecticut Public Transportation Commission Minutes of December 4, 2008
    Connecticut Public Transportation Commission Minutes of December 4, 2008 Fourth Floor Conference Room Union Station, New Haven Attendance: Members: Tom Cheeseman, Mort Katz, Russ St. John, Terry Hall, Rich Sunderhauf, Rick Schreiner, Yvonne Loteczka, Chris Adams, Alan Sylvestre, Bill Kelaher, Richard Carpenter. Ex-officio members: Susan Simmat (OPM), Connie Mendolia (DEP), Fred Riese (DEP). ConnDOT staff: Dennis King. Guests: Leo Petry. Chairman Cheeseman opened the meeting at 1:32 PM. Tom announced that today’s scheduled speaker, Michael Krauss, had phoned Tom earlier this afternoon to say that he would be unable to make today’s meeting. Following this, the minutes of the meeting of November 6 were approved as written. Tom mentioned that all Jobs Access and Reverse Commute transportation providers have been asked to submit 5% recission package cuts. For Tom’s system, Middletown Area Transit, this may force him to cut the return trip on the Night Owl run, which will mean that he can get workers to their jobs but not home. The Night Owl service provides 31,000 – 33,000 trips per year. Tom’s other Jobs Access service, the M Link, which connects Middletown and Meriden, provides 36,000 trips per year. His Jobs Access ridership has been growing at 3% per month. Also, the Department of Social Services may not have their Jobs Access contracts ready by December 31, which means providers will receive no money until after the new year begins. Some providers will need to borrow money to cover this interval. Comments from the Public None. Reports from Operating Entities Rick Schreiner said the impacts to Housatonic Area Regional Transit’s Jobs Access program from the 5% recission are not clear yet.
