As part of this project, we compared the Army’s three business models for instal- lation rail operations: government owned, government operated (GOGO); government owned, contractor operated (GOCO); and privatized. We also developed a methodology to compare the costs and risks of the business models to help the Army determine whether it could rely to a greater extent on privatized rail operations. This document describes the results of our analysis, which is based on detailed informa- tion gathered through visits to one installation of each type and data on Army rail require- ments, costs, and performance at installations with deployable units. We estimated potential savings from privatization and determined possible risk factors, such as a decrease in respon- siveness to short-notice deployments, loss of surge capacity, likelihood of accidents or violations of safety and environmental rules, and unexpected cost increases.

  • US Army Railroad Course Railway Track Maintenance II TR0671
    SUBCOURSE EDITION TR0671 1 RAILWAY TRACK MAINTENANCE II Reference Text (RT) 671 is the second of two texts on railway track maintenance. The first, RT 670, Railway Track Maintenance I, covers fundamentals of railway engineering; roadbed, ballast, and drainage; and track elements--rail, crossties, track fastenings, and rail joints. Reference Text 671 amplifies many of those subjects and also discusses such topics as turnouts, curves, grade crossings, seasonal maintenance, and maintenance-of-way management. If the student has had no practical experience with railway maintenance, it is advisable that RT 670 be studied before this text. In doing so, many of the points stressed in this text will be clarified. In addition, frequent references are made in this text to material in RT 670 so that certain definitions, procedures, etc., may be reviewed if needed. i THIS PAGE WAS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. ii CONTENTS Paragraph Page INTRODUCTION................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER 1.

    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.

    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.
