volume one, number two a supplement to walthers ho, n&z and big trains reference books CLASSICS Model Power Acquires Mantua Model Power is pleased to announce its acquisition of Mantua Industries. A respected manufacturer of locomotives and rolling stock for model railroaders since 1926, Mantua is headquartered in Woodbury, New Jersey. Together these manufacturers have a total of over 110 years of experience and service to the model railroad industry. Model Power has purchased all HO tooling, molds, parts and dies from Mantua Industries and retains rights to the name “Mantua.” Model Power will also be forming a new division called Mantua Classics whose initial production plans for 2003 include the following locomotives: Pacific, Berkshire, 2-6-6-2, 2-6-6-0, Camelback and 0-6-0 Tank. The overall goal will be to produce quality products, fine-tune performance, enhance detail and dramatically cut the prices of steam locomotives. For modelers concerned about what this acquisition means in terms of products and customer service, here are steps now being taken by Model Power: 1. Most parts are or will be in stock 2. Metal boiler locomotives will be made with extra details not previously included 3. Steam locomotives will be DCC compatible with an 8-prong receiver 4. Tenders will be made with electrical pickup 5. Drive trains for F7s will be flywheel driven and carry the high-tech F7 metal body used in Model Power’s MetalTrain™ Model Power is proud to offer its customers more—more details, more quality and performance, more choices— with Mantua Classics. -
Chapter 14 Yards and Terminals1
CHAPTER 14 YARDS AND TERMINALS1 FOREWORD This chapter deals with the engineering and economic problems of location, design, construction and operation of yards and terminals used in railway service. Such problems are substantially the same whether railway's ownership and use is to be individual or joint. The location and arrangement of the yard or terminal as a whole should permit the most convenient and economical access to it of the tributary lines of railway, and the location, design and capacity of the several facilities or components within said yard or terminal should be such as to handle the tributary traffic expeditiously and economically and to serve the public and customer conveniently. In the design of new yards and terminals, the retention of existing railway routes and facilities may seem desirable from the standpoint of initial expenditure or first cost, but may prove to be extravagant from the standpoint of operating costs and efficiency. A true economic balance should be achieved, keeping in mind possible future trends and changes in traffic criteria, as to volume, intensity, direction and character. Although this chapter contemplates the establishment of entirely new facilities, the recommendations therein will apply equally in the rearrangement, modernization, enlargement or consolidation of existing yards and terminals and related facilities. Part 1, Generalities through Part 4, Specialized Freight Terminals include specific and detailed recommendations relative to the handling of freight, regardless of the type of commodity or merchandise, at the originating, intermediate and destination points. Part 5, Locomotive Facilities and Part 6, Passenger Facilities relate to locomotive and passenger facilities, respectively. -

Railroad Emergency Response Manual
Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Railroad Emergency Response Manual Approved by the COG Fire Chiefs Committee Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Second Edition May 2020 MWCOG Railroad Emergency Response Manual 2nd Edition – May 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This manual could not have been written without the assistance of many Dedicated rail safety personnel and members of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments regional emergency response agencies that have spent many hours providing the material for the creation of this manual. We thank all emergency responders from all jurisdictions, including our federal agency partners that shared their firsthand experiences of recent commuter railroad incidents. Many of their experiences were incorporated into sections of this manual. Many Railroad representatives, private industry and governmental organizations provided their invaluable technical assistance. This committee would like to thank Steve Truchman formerly of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), Greg Deibler from Virginia Railway Express (VRE), David Ricker from the Maryland Rail Commuter (MARC), Paul Williams of Norfolk Southern Railway Corporation and Mike Hennessey of CSX Transportation, all of whom provided the specific diagrams, illustrations and other technical information regarding railroad equipment. We recognize Elisa Nichols of Kensington Consulting, LLC for her contributions to this manual as well as representatives from many Federal Agencies who also provided information on the technical accounts of railroad equipment and their integrity on past railroad incidents. The members of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) Passenger Rail Safety Subcommittee gratefully presents this manual to both Fire and Rescue Service and Railroad organizations in an effort to instill readiness within our own personnel that they might effectively and collaboratively respond to a railroad incident. -

NURail Project ID: NURail2014-UIUC-E09 Guidebook for Railway-themed K-12 STEM Outreach Activities By C. Tyler Dick, Ph.D., P.E. Lecturer and Principal Research Engineer Rail Transportation and Engineering Center (RailTEC) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [email protected] Lee Evans Graduate Research Assistant Rail Transportation and Engineering Center (RailTEC) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [email protected] 23-12-2020 Grant Number: DTRT13-G-UTC52 (Grant 2) Guidebook for Railway‐themed K‐12 STEM Outreach Activities Introduction Welcome to the Guidebook for Railway‐themed K‐12 STEM Outreach Activities! Inside, you will find descriptions of educational activities designed to introduce students to the railroad transportation mode through the lens of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts. Railroads have been a critical part of the global economy since the 1830s. Today, railroads haul more ton‐miles of intercity freight (one ton of freight moved one mile) than any other mode of transportation in the United States. While the railroad industry is the leader in long‐haul freight transportation, recruiting students to leadership roles in the industry is challenging. With many railroad employees approaching retirement age, the need to raise student awareness of railway industry career opportunities has never been greater. The activities in this guidebook cover a wide variety of railroad topics. The activities are intended to be hands‐on to provide students with knowledge through experiential learning that also increases their awareness of railway transportation technology. Although the following chapters provide a step‐by‐step guide to each activity, we encourage you to experiment with modifications to each activity and to create your own activities on other facets of the railroad industry and STEM topics. -
