Appendix Ix Employer's Requirements APPENDIX IX EMPLOYER’S REQUIREMENTS Subic-Clark Railway Project Section VI – Employer’s Requirement Section VI. Employer’s Requirements V-1 Subic-Clark Railway Project Section VI – Employer’s Requirement 1 THE PROJECT 1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 1.1.1 The Subic-Clark Railway Project (SCRP) will provide a 71-km rail connection between Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ) and Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ), linking the Port of Subic Bay (PSB) with Clark International Airport (CRK). In due course, the railway will be extended to New Clark City (NCC), formerly called Clark Green City (CGC), a new metropolis currently being developed by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA)(Figure 1). FIGURE 1. PROPOSED SUBIC-CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT MAP SOURCE: GOOGLE EARTH 1.1.2 The Subic-Clark Railway (SCR) is positioned as the initial step in developing the rail freight system throughout Luzon. From its terminal in CFZ, the railway line is envisioned to be extended to the Ilocos Region and Cagayan Valley in the north, and to Metro Manila and the Bicol Region in the south. The railway extensions will VI-1 probably involve the construction of new railway lines using the existing right-of-way (ROW) of Philippine National Railways (PNR). PNR has an extensive railway ROW all over Luzon, but its railway tracks are mostly unusable, especially north of Metro Manila and south of Calamba City (Laguna). 1.1.3 The Project will have provision for passenger service for SCRin the future. It will connect with Clark-Manila Railway Project (CMRP), a railway project that will connect CRK and NCC with Metro Manila and provide the much needed railway infrastructure for CRK. Both projects might probably be using a common railway alignment from CRK to NCC, so interoperability between SCRP and CMRP might be a necessity. With both railway lines interoperable, each can provide seamless passenger services from Metro Manila to CRK, NCC, and SBFZ. Eventually, these interoperable railway lines will extend to the Ilocos Region and Cagayan Valley in the north, and to the Bicol Region in the south. 1.1.4 One feature of the Project will be the eventual development of a dry port in CFZ as the transshipment point for all international and domestic freight going to or coming from destinations in Luzon. This will serve as a one-stop terminal for cargo handling, including customs clearance services, domestic distribution, and facilities for storage and consolidation of goods. All the documentations for the freight are processed right at the dry port and the freight are transported to/from PSB via the railway link. Outbound freight are directly loaded from the trains into the ships going overseas, while inbound freight are directly loaded from the ships into the trains going to the dry port. 1.1.5 The whole alignment of the Project is approximately 71 kilometers long and is located in the western section of Central Luzon running on an exclusive ROW parallel to Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) with some sections adjacent to it (Figure 1). It is divided into two (2) major sections: (a) Mainline – This is an approximately 64-km railway connecting SBFZ and CFZ. (b) Spur Line – This is an approximately 7-km railway connecting the PSB New Container Terminals(NCTs) to the Mainline. 1.1.6 There are three (3) main railway configuration along the alignment: (a) At-grade – approximately 50kilometers, (b) Elevated– approximately12 kilometers, and (c) Tunnel – approximately9 kilometers. 1.1.7 The Contractor shall provide a fully functional and integrated, safe, secure, efficient, and reliable single-track freight railway with passing loops, with the objective of the freight line to load and unload and transport freight in compliance with the requirements specified in this document.The passing loops shall be adequate to meet the bi-directional operation requirements of the railway. Subic-Clark Railway Project Section VI – Employer’s Requirement 1.1.8 The specified Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Facilities shall be fully commissioned and functional to support the freight rolling stock fleet andrailway systems and infrastructure, with space provisions, expansion capability, and where practicable,capabilityfor facilitation to migrate to next generation systems. 1.1.9 The operational requirements of SCRP shall include, amongst other requirements, the following: (a) Operation with diesel power, but with structure gauge and other provisions to enable future installation and electrification, especially ensuring that reinforcing bars in concrete have electrical continuity and are connected to dedicated earthing terminals; (b) Operating a train service for both freight and future passengers,with the Project designed for a maximum of 25 tons/axle load; (c) The Project shall be designed for the following maximum train design speeds: i. Mainline – 80kph for freight trains and 160kph for passenger trains (future provision), and ii. Spur Line – 80 kph, except on low radius curves on the chosen horizontal alignment which may restrict speed locally; and (d) Refueling, maintenance, cleaning, and repairs of Rolling Stock. 1.1.10 The SCRP shall require the design, procurement, fabrication, construction, assembly, installation, and commissioning of Materials Handling Systems for loading and unloading trains for containers. 1.1.11 Train operations shall be controlled using a fully commissioned and operational European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 0 train control system or equivalent. 1.1.12 The Works shall have minimum years of design life as specified in the Chinese Standards and Codes, allowing for continued levels of routine maintenance and repair as established by the Contractor. 1.2 RAILWAY SYSTEMS 1.2.1 The Project includes the detailed design, procurement, delivery, implementation, and testing and commissioning of the Railway Systems for a fully functional and integrated, safe, secure, efficient, and reliable freight railway. The Railway Systems shall include, but not limited to, the following systems: (a) Signalling and Train Control Systemwhere an ETCS Level 0 Signalling System (or equivalent) shall be adopted, (b) Communications Systemwhere Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) digital communications shall be adopted, and VI-3 (c) Power Supply and Distribution System for the railway network, facilities, and all railway systems, including the design and construction of electricity substations as necessary and obtaining their associated planning consents. (d) Asset Protection Systems. (e) Maintenance Management Information System (MMIS). 1.3 ROLLING STOCK 1.3.1 Since the initial rail service is for freight only between SBFZ and CFZ, the SCR shall use diesel-electric locomotives. When the passenger rail service is added in the future, the railway will be upgraded to accommodate electric traction for the rolling stock for the passenger rail service. 1.3.2 The proposed Rolling Stock for the SCR shall be composed of diesel-electric locomotives and trailer cars for containerized cargo. 1.3.3 The Project includes the detailed design, procurement, delivery, installation, and testing and commissioning of the Rolling Stock for a fully functional and integrated, safe, secure, efficient, and reliable freight railway. The fleet size of the Rolling Stock `to be delivered shall be sufficient to handle the Year 2021 traffic forecast in Table 1. TABLE1.

    A DCCconcepts “Modelling advice” publication DCC Advice #11 Page 1 Wiring Point-work & Special track conditions for DC or DCC Wiring the track… In plain English, with diagrams! If we had a $ or £ or € for every time we’ve been asked how to wire track and point-work, we’d be writing this on a beach somewhere while sipping a cold beer! A great layout needs good trackwork, so first - a word about trackwork and getting good performance. Choose carefully! DO think about making your own turnouts if you have even moderate skills. It is not as hard as you think, needs only basic skills and tools... and we do our best to make it easy with our top quality gauges, trackwork frets and templates. PLUS we will soon provide a detailed “How to make track” tutorial too. Interested? Then call or email us and we will do our best to help you. No matter what scale you will model in, DO NOT even consider using insulated frogs! Yes, lazy retailers who do not understand what they sell - and modellers who have never done a proper job of laying track so it runs well may well recommend it to you… but do NOT be tempted. No matter which brand makes the turnouts, if you use insulated frogs, you WILL have small locos stalling or also suffer from wider wheels bridging the frog tip and creating momentary shorts that are hard to fix and really are a source of constant frustration. Use more realistic rail sizes please: Usually this will be code 55 in N, or Code 75 and 83 in OO or HO Scale.

  • The Ten Commandments of Model Railroad Yard Design
    The Ten Commandments of Model Railroad Yard Design By Craig Bisgeier Sample Yard Layout You may find it helpful to print out this diagram before reading the article. Having a hard copy of the diagram to refer to as you are reading will probably be a big help for some of the more difficult concepts. This is definitely a case of a picture being worth a thousand words... One of the most often modeled -- and misunderstood -- layout design elements is the yard. Nearly everyone has one on their layout, whether it's used simply for car storage or as an actual operating tool. Unfortunately, many of them don't work very well. Common design mistakes are made over and over again by beginner and intermediate modelers. They can't be faulted, though, because the info on how to design a good yard is very hard to find. Even when the hobby press gets it right, it's short-lived, because if you missed the issue you didn't see it. Most of the time you see poor examples (like the hated Timesaver) which are often published by the hobby press without comment, and therefore accepted by those who do not know better as good design. So the "secrets" of good yard design are difficult to for most to uncover, because the good nuggets of information appear in wildly different places like out of print magazines or books, special interest publications, or even word of mouth among advanced modelers. not many modelers have that kind of library or access. What is needed is a repository where all the good ideas can be collected, stored, edited and presented as one all-encompassing primer on the subject.

Abstract Freight transportation is a major component of the transportation activity in metropolitan areas of Texas where both highway and rail routes converge. Traffic conflicts in urban areas are especially acute in areas surrounding urban rail facilities. Rail operations are also greatly hindered in urban rail facilities, which are often surrounded by incompatible land-use activities.
