  • How Acela Trainsets Are Made: Inside the Alstom Facility Written by William C
    VOLUME 50 NUMBER 9 DISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER WEBSITE: WWW.NRHS1.ORG SEPTEMBER 2019 HOW ACELA TRAINSETS ARE MADE: INSIDE THE ALSTOM FACILITY WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C. VANTUONO, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, RAILWAY AGE RAILWAY AGE AT THE ALSTOM MANUFACTURING FACILITY, HORNELL, N.Y., JUNE 12, 2019: Alstom Transportation is building the next generation of high-speed trainsets for Amtrak‘s Northeast Corridor Acela Express service. The new equipment is scheduled to enter service sometime in 2021 between Washington, D.C. and Boston. Amtrak says that this equipment will provide a smoother and more comfortable ride than what it is replacing. Each trainset will have 378 seats, with such amenities as personal power outlets, USB ports and adjustable reading lights. There will be an onboard information system providing real-time information such as location, train speed and conductor announcements. Part of the full ADA accessibility will be spacious restrooms with a 60-inch-diameter turning radius to accommodate people in wheelchairs. Amtrak will be implementing an advance seat reservation system. Food service is described as “contemporary, offering easy access and greater selection.” Twenty-eight of these trainsets are under construction, and Amtrak has created a microsite with photos and facts about the new trainsets. They are much lighter than the current equipment, with 17-metric-ton axle loads. The power cars are constructed of carbon steel; the coaches of aluminum. The trainsets meet FRA Tier III Passenger Equipment Safety Standards; Standards for Alternative Compliance and High-Speed Trainsets. Here is a close look at this equipment under construction.

  • CHANGING TRAINS in COLUMBUS by John Anderson Carnahan
    CHANGING TRAINS IN COLUMBUS By John Anderson Carnahan In our constant quest to improve our lot, we Americans sometimes manage to cast out the baby with the bathwater. So has it been with the way we travel. Most of our passenger trains are gone, victims of our national haste to make haste. Today, for the sake of celerity, we routinely submit to being stuffed into oversized toothpaste tubes and hurtled through the atmosphere, knees-to-chest, munching on stale pretzels, trying in vain to spot something of interest out the window or in the bland décor of a Boeing 767. We have sacrificed civility to speed. I now and then feel this sacrifice with pangs of slight sadness and nostalgia because I am old enough to recall how it was to travel by train and because I am fortunate enough to have experienced, when I was young, the essential grace and leisure of that civilized form of locomotion. No doubt there are those of my vintage who would remind me that traveling by train was not always a fun trip. There were, to be sure, delays, missed connections, the surly ticket clerk eyeing you suspiciously from his brass cage, grumpy conductors, and occasional irate passengers. And, truth be told, steam engines, although marvelous creatures, did generate soot and steam and grime. Furthermore, even the great streamliners took valuable time to get from one point to another. In 1945, for example, a New York-bound Columbus traveler could depart the old Union Station on North High Street at 6:20 PM aboard the New York Central’s Ohio State Limited and arrive in Grand Central at 9 the following morning.

  • LAYOUT DESIGN with a PASSENGER TRAIN EMPHASIS a Clinic Presented to the National Model Railroad Association, Portland, Oregon, August 23-29, 2015 by Robert A
    LAYOUT DESIGN WITH A PASSENGER TRAIN EMPHASIS A clinic presented to the National Model Railroad Association, Portland, Oregon, August 23-29, 2015 by Robert A. Clark The premise of this clinic is that a passenger train oriented layout can be designed, built and operated just as well as the traditional freight dominated one. Most track plans minimize passenger train facilities and trackage. This is common to virtually all writings on layout design, and leads to the usual layout with its two or three track passenger terminal with the tracks being used for passenger car storage as well as arrivals, departures, and servicing. This is “selective compression” with a vengeance. Operation of passenger trains on home layouts also has been discounted, although passenger train operation is fairly well discussed in the publications. Freight trains appear to offer a lot of switching possibilities compared to passenger trains because model rails think of passenger service as it is today. Fixed consists that are run from originating city to destination city undisturbed by switching enroute are now normal, although they were once quite rare. As late as 1967 you might have found yourself riding a car switched into as many as five trains in a through service between Houston or Dallas and Richmond (California)/Los Angeles operated by the Santa Fe, which necessitated much switching enroute (see my California Special article in the NMRA Bulletin). There is no reason a layout should not feature passenger trains, terminals, and operations as an alternative to freight trains.
