April 2009 Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority High-Speed Rail Update The U.S. Congress and President Obama have made High Speed Rail (HSR) a key component of our nation’s transportation future by including $8 billion for HSR in the recently adopted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). President Obama is also committed to providing $1 billion a year for the next >ve years for HSR in the budgets he will present to the U.S. Congress. In November of 2008, California’s voters approved Proposition 1A allocating almost $10 billion to HSR.

  • Freight Rail & Preserving the Environment
    Freight Rail & Preserving the Environment Preserving the environment and addressing climate change is a responsibility railroads take seriously. As a backbone of the U.S. economy for the last two centuries, freight railroads have evolved to provide efficient and advanced transportation solutions to American businesses and consumers. Today’s railroads continue to modernize their operations to meet tomorrow’s challenges, including improvements that increase efficiency and benefit the environment. • Less Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Greenhouse gas emissions are directly related to fuel consumption. Freight railroads account for just 0.5% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to EPA data, and just 1.9% of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. • More Fuel Efficient: Freight rail is ahead of other land modes of surface transportation when it comes to limiting its carbon footprint. U.S. freight railroads, on average, move one ton of freight more than 480 miles per gallon of fuel. • Sustainable Choice: AAR analysis of federal data finds: If 25% of the truck traffic moving at least 750 miles went by rail instead, annual greenhouse gas emissions would fall by approximately 13.1 million tons; If 50% of the truck traffic moving at least 750 miles went by rail instead, greenhouse gas emissions would fall by approximately 26.2 million tons. • Holistic Approach: From advanced locomotive technology to zero-emission cranes, freight railroads leverage technology across their operations to limit their impact on the environment. In 2020 alone, U.S. freight railroads consumed 675 million fewer gallons of fuel and emitted 7.6 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide than they would have if their fuel efficiency had remained constant since 2000.

  • CITYLINK TRAM TRAIN South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE), Sheffield, UK
    CITYLINK TRAM TRAIN South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE), Sheffield, UK South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) ordered seven tram trains of the Citylink type in June 2013 for use on the first tram-train system in the UK, to operate on the Supertram tram network and on the national rail network between the cities of Sheffield and Rotherham. The bidirectional light rail vehicles cover tramway applications and full train regional operations at 100 km/h and have been adapted to the particularities of the tram and rail network in the county of South Yorkshire. The dual-voltage vehicles meet British standards and are able to operate under 750 V DC overhead voltage (tram network) and 25 kV AC overhead voltage (railway network) and to work on tracks with a maximum gradient of 10%. Citylink is a modular, barrier-free and low-floor light rail vehicle family specially designed to provide a safe and highly comfortable ride. www.stadlerrail.com Stadler Rail Group Stadler Rail Valencia S.A.

  • KCK, Leavenworth Connected by Train
    The Kansas City, Kansan, October 6, 1985: p 7A KCK, Leavenworth connected by train This 1914 picture (advertisement) offers a trip to Leavenworth on the trolley, "Along the line of the K.C.W. (Editor's note: This is the 26th in a series of "then Ry." The line operated from 1900 to 1938, succumbing to financial woes. and now" articles on places and things of interest in Kansas City, Kan., compiled by area historian Margaret Landis in observance of the 100th birthday of KCK in 1986. Much of the information has appeared in past editions of The Kansan.) (Transcriptions are presented without changes except to improve readability.) An interurban electric railway -- passing "through rather hilly country presenting very picturesque and varied scenery near the Missouri River" -- operated from 1900 to 1938 from Kansas City, Kan., to Leavenworth, Kan. Chartered cars were available for groups on trips for special celebrations, musical or athletic events or political rallies at Kansas City or Leavenworth. At the national Soldiers Home in Wadsworth and at Shrine Park, there were band concerts and picnics. Other points of interest along the line were Fort Leavenworth, the Command and General College, the Federal Penitentiary, Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing and St. Mary's Academy. There were the daily commuters (job holders) who rode the trolley back and forth to work and the women shoppers from the farms and small towns going to the larger cities. Pioneer Electric Interurban The pioneer electric interurban railway in Kansas was chartered July 28, 1897 as the Kansas City and Leavenworth Traction Company to operate in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties.
