AMTRAK NOTCHES RIDERSHIP, REVENUE RECORDS FOR FISCAL 2016 By Bob Johnston, Oct. 21, 2016 - Trains News Wire WASHINGTON — Amtrak broke revenue and ridership records in its 2016 fiscal year despite dire predictions that passenger patronage would suffer with continued low fuel prices. Amtrak carried about 31.2 million passengers, up 1.3 percent from 2015, generating $2.2 billion in ticket revenue, up 0.03 percent, according to recent reports from the national passenger railroad. Those numbers not only beat last year, in which the May 2015 derailment of Northeast Regional train No. 188 shut down the Northeast Corridor near Philadelphia for several days, but also edged 2014. That year saw 30.9 million passengers and was the record year using data generated from hand-held scanners.

  • Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection Finding
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection 1898-1943 15 boxes (4 linear ft.) Call no.: PH 061 Collection overview A native of Rockland, Maine, Alton H. "Blackie" Blackington (1893-1963) was a writer, photojournalist, and radio personality associated with New England "lore and legend." After returning from naval service in the First World War, Blackington joined the staff of the Boston Herald, covering a range of current events, but becoming well known for his human interest features on New England people and customs. He was successful enough by the mid-1920s to establish his own photo service, and although his work remained centered on New England and was based in Boston, he photographed and handled images from across the country. Capitalizing on the trove of New England stories he accumulated as a photojournalist, Blackington became a popular lecturer and from 1933-1953, a radio and later television host on the NBC network, Yankee Yarns, which yielded the books Yankee Yarns (1954) and More Yankee Yarns (1956). This collection of glass plate negatives was purchased by Robb Sagendorf of Yankee Publishing around the time of Blackington's death. Reflecting Blackington's photojournalistic interests, the collection covers a terrain stretching from news of public officials and civic events to local personalities, but the heart of the collection is the dozens of images of typically eccentric New England characters and human interest stories. Most of the images were taken by Blackington on 4x5" dry plate negatives, however many of the later images are made on flexible acetate stock and the collection includes several images by other (unidentified) photographers distributed by the Blackington News Service.

  • RAILROADS in Adams Township/Stanton Township. by the Early 20Th Century, Railroad Tracks Criss-Crossed the Peninsula
    RAILROADS in Adams Township/Stanton Township. By the early 20th century, railroad tracks criss-crossed the peninsula. Trains moved unrefined ore to the smelters, copper ingots to shipping docks, workers to their jobs, even children to school. Passenger cars transported people and products in and out of the area. In an area where roads were reduced to a morass of mud in the spring and blocked by drifts of snow in the winter, business depended on railroad trains to maintain contact with the rest of the world.

  • TRANSIT Project Descriptions
    CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION BUREAU OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION CAPITAL PROJECT/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Hartford Line Operating Project Number Grant Number Agreement Number DOT03200007OP Problem Identified: The NHHS Rail corridor, 62 miles in length, has had a long and evolving history. Amtrak has struggled since its inception in 1971 to maintain the Northeast Corridor rail lines it inherited from Penn Central Railroad. To reduce the cost of maintaining the New Haven-Springfield line, Amtrak removed some 25 miles of track, converting the then double-tracked line to a single track with passing sidings. The capacity of the line is adequate for the level of service operated today by Amtrak (six daily round-trip trains) and for the freight trains that serve customers along the line. In addition, the infrastructure, the bridges and culverts, are old and require upgrading and/or replacement. Description/Scope: It has been a key objective of the Connecticut Department of Transportation to improve passenger rail service north of New Haven. The High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program (HSIPR) Program was created in June 2009 to support new intercity and high-speed passenger rail service. The new HSIPR Program provided Connecticut and Amtrak the opportunity to rethink plans for the NHHS corridor. Instead of a new commuter rail service, Amtrak and Connecticut developed a robust mix of intercity and regional trains. The New Haven-Hartford-Springfield (NHHS) Rail Program represents a broad partnership between the State of Connecticut, Amtrak and the Federal Railroad Administration, as well as the states of Massachusetts and Vermont. The goal is ambitious to provide high speed rail service those living, working or traveling between New Haven, Hartford and Springfield.
