  • Railcars at Rocky Flats Community Final 11-04-04.Indd
    Rocky Flats Fact Sheet Transporting low-level radioactive waste from Rocky Flats using railcars Transporting low-level radioactive waste from Rocky Flats using railcars The Rocky Flats Closure Project is one of the largest environmental cleanup operations in the world. Rocky Flats, located approximately 15 miles northwest of Denver, produced plutonium and uranium components for the U.S. nuclear weapons program from 1953 until 1989. The operations left a legacy of radioactive and hazardous waste contamination. Cleanup operations began in earnest in 1995. As part of closure, all radioactive and hazardous waste will be shipped from Rocky Flats to waste disposal sites in other states. No waste will be permanently stored or disposed of on site. Currently, all low-level radioactive waste leaving Rocky Flats is transported by truck. As the Rocky Flats Closure Project Cleaning up Rocky Flats will return thousands of acres to the citizens of Colorado. The nears completion, demolition of former site will become a national wildlife refuge. manufacturing buildings signifi cantly increases the volume of low-level radioactive waste. To improve effi ciency and worker safety, the project will use railcars to ship very low-level waste to the Envirocare disposal facility in Utah. Using rail may eliminate as many as 5,000 truck shipments. Background The complex job of cleaning up and closing down Rocky Flats involves removing massive quantities of radioactive waste. To date, after nine years of shipping, Rocky Flats has safely shipped approximately 260,000 cubic meters (65 percent) of the projected 400,000 cubic meters of radioactive waste that will be generated during closure.

  • Stock Car Models by Steve Sandifer
    Stock Car Models By Steve Sandifer Stock Car Models This is a review of commercial livestock car models. Focus is on Santa Fe cars, but there is some coverage of other railroads. N-scale models and references are at the end of this document. Stock Car Models - HO May 5, 2013 The Santa Fe modeler has many choices for prototype models. Three manufacturers produce kits for 15 different classes of Santa Fe stock cars. Intermountain makes the SK-Q, R, S, T, and U in plastic. These represent 1800 cars built in the 1920s. For the rivet counter, only the K brake R and the AB brake U are 100% correct. The review on the Intermountain site below will go into detail. Westerfield makes the SK-L, N, and P, with the M and O due in 2013. They also make the SK-2 and 3, and with the addition of a Branchline diagonal panel roof and Apex running board, the SK-5. The reason for this combination is that all were made from BX-3 and BX-6 box cars, cars that were virtually identical. The major difference between the SK-2, 3, and 5 is the roof: SK-2 has a Flexible Metal roof, SK-3 a radial roof, and SK-5 a diagonal panel roof. 2871 SK-2s and 3s were produced between 1942 and 1950. 1300 more SK-5s were added in 1952-53. Sunshine makes the SK-Z and SK-4, nearly identical cars because they were made from FE-P/T furniture cars. The difference is the roof: SK-Z is Flexible Metal, SK-4 is radial.

  • Mather Refrigerator Instructions
    HO Scale MATHER MEAT REFRIGERATOR CAR HISTORY - by Mr, Richard Hendrickson The Mather Stock Car Company of Chicago was founded early in the twentieth century by Alonzo C. Mather. As the company's name indicates, its primary business was the leasing of stock cars, which many railroads preferred to lease rather than buy because the stock business was highly seasonal. Mather branched out into leasing refrigerator cars in the 1920's. however, and beginning in the 1930's the company did a brisk business in box cars as well. The Mather fleet even included a few tank cars. Mather leased cars to railroads and shippers in many parts of the country and was modestly successful throughout the 1920's. However, it was during the severe depression following the 1929 stock market crash that the Mather company prospered. With most new railroads in financial distress and many in receivership, there was no capital with which to purchase new freight cars, yet serviceable cars were often urgently needed. Leasing provided a viable alternative, as leased freight cars could be paid for a little at a time out of current revenue. Mather's Chicago Ridge shops therefore worked overtime building and rebuilding cars in the early 1930's, at a time when other car builders were largely idle for lack of orders. Though Mather remained a relatively small company, it contained its profitable leasing business until, in the late 1950's, it was acquired by the North American Car Corporation. Mather's 37' Refrigerator Cars Among the cars in the Mather leasing fleet were several hundred 37' meat refrigerator cars which had been converted from stock cars.

Russia 2Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications, Zilina, Univerzitná 8215/1, 010 26, Republic of Slovakia Abstract. The article studies the main trends in the market of container transportation in rolling stock of various types, considers the process of transporting large-capacity containers in open wagons. The operational and economic aspects of removing administrative restrictions on the implementation of this type of transportation are noted. The dynamics of rental rates for rental of gondola cars and platforms in 2019-2020 is present. The summary characteristics of the gondola car fleet and fitting platforms on the Russian Railways network have been study. The analysis of the market share of the largest owners of gondola cars and fitting platforms was carry out. The advantages and disadvantages of using the technology of container transportation in open wagons are list. Solutions are propose to create a competitive environment in the container transportation segment of the transport services market. 1 Introduction Currently, containers are transport on fitting platforms, but theoretically, according to international rules, they can also be transport in open wagons: 40-feet - horizontally per piece, 20-feet - two each, and empty 20-feet - even three. From December 1, 2014, the local technical conditions (LTC) for the placement and fastening of universal containers in gondola cars with unloading hatches were cancel.
