Issue * Oarp Takes Amtrak to Task Over Hamilton Stop ~ SITUATION IN WAS'i·- ,'JGTON r C'? w STILL VERY CRITICAL---- - -- -- - by OARP Pres. Tom Pulsifer II) ~ The Amtrak situation in Washington, despite record ridership systemwide, • • is still quite critical. The April 1979 Amtrak ridership figures show ~~M all long-distance routes posting -o 0~ ridership increases (some routes by 53 or 59%) and a systemwide 16.9% ridership increase. And remember it is the long-hauls that DOT Sec­ w ~~-c retary Brock Adams wants to elimin­ ate from the Amtrak network! It is ii~ reasonably certain that Congress is :J: going to act to retain some, and 0~ possibly all, of the existing Amtrak )( trains and routes. Sentiment is 1- Z£ turning against the 43% route cut as OB set forth by Brock Adams. But, in my opinion, the votes in Congress ti8 are going to be close.

  • 0.2 Executive Summary
    2010 Montana State Rail Plan Executive Summary The 2010 Montana State Rail Plan describes historical and forecasted freight trends, provides operating and system characteristics of the State’s freight rail system, and summarizes ongoing efforts to expand and secure funding for addi- tional passenger rail service through the State. The Plan also describes the impact of grain facility consolidation; identifies potential rail funding programs to acquire, improve, establish, or rehabilitate intermodal rail equipment or facili- ties; and lists several other ongoing issues affecting rail service in Montana, such as rail competition and growing freight volumes. The following sections sum- marize the key topics in each chapter of the 2010 Montana State Rail Plan. FREIGHT TRENDS As consumer demand for goods has increased over the past several decades, freight service demand has grown along with it (Figure ES.1). In 2005, over 4.5 trillion ton-miles of freight were shipped in the United States – about 15,300 ton- miles per capita. Rail transportation, the fastest growing among the freight modes, represented the largest share (38 percent) of the freight ton-miles shipped in the United States. National increases in freight volume between 2002 and 2035 are generally balanced among modes, and increases in volume will be strongest in intermodal and truck movements. In Montana, growth in freight volume and value is concentrated in truck and intermodal movements, as rail shipments of coal and agricultural products are not expected to expand dramatically in vol- ume or value. This section of the report has extensive data on the modal shares of freight in Montana.

This year’s Outlook for the Intercity Bus Industry report draws attention to some of the industry’s changing fundamentals while also looking at notable developments anticipated this year and beyond. Our analysis evaluates the industry in six areas: i) The status of bus travel booking through January 2021; ii) Notable marketing and service developments of 2020; iii) The decline of the national bus network sold on greyhound.com that is relied upon by travelers on thousands of routes across the U.S.

They were the last full diners built before the advent of Amtrak. They displaced the Pullman-Standard dining cars NP 450-455 to service on the Mainstreeter. The Budd diners operated between Chicago and Seattle until the end of BN service in 1971. Dining cars were cycled in and out of eastbound No. 26 at St. Paul Union Depot and were serviced at the nearby NP Commissary. Five of the six cars were purchased by Amtrak in 1971 and operated in the North Coast Hiawatha, and later in the "Heritage Fleet", particularly on the trains between Chicago and New York and Washington.

  • PASSENGER RAIL AUTHORITY Frequently Ask Ed Questions
    BIG SKY PASSENGER RAIL AUTHORITY Frequently Asked Questions What is the goal of the authority? To create a transformational project for Montana — establishing safe, reliable and affordable inter-city, long-distance passenger rail service through southern Montana. Why a passenger rail authority? It’s high time to try a different approach. There is currently no government agency or public institution in Montana that oversees expansion of passenger rail service through the southern tier of the state. A regional passenger rail authority, allowed under Montana state law (MCA 7-14-16), would fill this gap by creating the governance structure to investigate, analyze, seek or accept funding for, and facilitate implementation of, long-distance, inter-city rail service across southern Montana. Why counties? While it is certainly within the power of the Montana state Legislature to establish a regional rail authority (as many other states have done), Montana code grants counties the authority to do this. So, in the absence of legislative leadership, counties can create our own destiny and act now. How much is this going to cost? This can be interpreted in two ways: (1) How much is it going to cost to restore passenger rail service to southern Montana? or (2) How much will it cost to operate a regional rail authority? First, the cost of restoring rail service (be it along the old North Coast Hiawatha or some other alignment) is going to be a function of the specific route(s) chosen, frequency of service, how the system will be operated, and the nature of any public-private partnership that might be forged.

  • Replacing Amtrak: Privatization, Regionalization, and Liquidation
    P o l i c y S t u d y N o . 2 3 5 , O c t o b e r 1 9 9 7 RReeppllaacciinngg AAmmttrraakk:: A Blueprint for Sustainable Passenger Rail Service by Joseph Vranich EXECUTIVE SUMMARY mtrak is a failed national experiment. By its own admission, Amtrak is headed for bankruptcy unless Washington provides another multi-billion-dollar bail-out. Another federal rescue is A unjustified considering that federal and state subsidies to Amtrak since its inception in 1971 are nearing $22.5 billion, an amount out of proportion to Amtrak’s usefulness in most of the nation. The federal government does not run a national airline. It doesn’t operate a national bus company. There’s no justification for a national railroad passenger operation. America needs passenger trains in selected areas, but doesn’t need Amtrak’s antiquated route system, poor service, unreasonable operating deficits, and capital investment program with low rates of return. Amtrak’s failures result in part because it is a public monopoly—the very type of organization least able to innovate. This study reveals an Amtrak credibility crisis in the way it reports ridership figures, glosses over dwindling market share, understates subsidies, issues misleading cost-recovery claims, offers doubtful promises regarding high-speed rail, lacks proper authority for the freight business it recently launched, and misrepresents privatization as its applies to Amtrak. It’s time to liquidate Amtrak, privatize and regionalize parts of it, permit alternative operators to transform some long-distance trains into land-cruise trains, and stop service on hopeless routes.
