  • History of the Pere Marquette Railway
    History of the Pere Marquette Railway Local History at the St. Thomas Public Library 1900: The Pere Marquette Railroad (PM) is formed by merging three small railroads in the United States: Chicago & West Michigan; Flint & Pere Marquette; and the Detroit, Grand Rapids & Western Railways. The PM is named after Père Jacques Marquette, the French Jesuit missionary who founded Michigan’s first European settlement, Sault St. Marie. 1901: Car ferry Pere Marquette 17 is placed in Lake Michigan service. The PM used car ferries on Lake Michigan to avoid the terminal and interchange delays in the area. Later, they were used on Lake Erie, the Detroit River, and in Port Huron. Car Ferry Pere Marquette 17 1902: Car ferry (first) Pere Marquette 18 is placed into Lake Michigan service. January 1903: PM acquires the Lake Erie & Detroit River Railway (LE&DRR), with main lines running from Walkerville, Windsor to St. Thomas, Ontario, as well as from Sarnia to Chatham and Erieau. This begins the Pere Marquette’s presence in Canada. 1904: The Pere Marquette secures running rights from Buffalo, New York and Niagara Falls, New York over the Canadian Southern railway lines to reach St. Thomas, where the PM’s main Canadian facilities will be located. 1905: Shop facilities are constructed in St. Thomas. December 1905: The first receivership begins, meaning that the company is controlled by others in order to make the best decision based on its finances, whether that is stabilizing or selling the company. The Pere Marquette has struggled financially for much of its operating life, and will continue to do so.

  • Unique Uses for Emissions Inventories in Maryland
    Unique Uses for Emissions Inventories in Maryland Roger Thunell, Chief AQ Planning Division, MDE – EPA EI Conference – August 2017 Welcome to Baltimore • During Your Visit • Crab Cakes • Microbrews • Burger Cookies • Camden Yards Focus on Three Topics • Use of CAMD data as a Regulatory Mechanism • Locomotive Survey • Temporal Improvements for Small EGUs in Modeling Inventories 3 CAMD Data as a Regulatory Mechanism • Focused on coal-fired EGUs with SCR or SNCR post-combustion controls • Baseline Starting Point - The year with the lowest recorded NOX emission rate for an entire ozone season • Using Daily CAMD data, compute the 123 30-day rolling averages for that ozone season. – (Ozone Season = 153 Days) 4 CAMD Data as a Regulatory Mechanism • Selected the highest maximum 30-day rolling average from this 123 value dataset. • This max 30-day rolling NOX emission rate represents an “achievable” emission rate for the unit – Some have referred to this as “optimization” of the unit. We would disagree and refer to it as “achievable” – Since the unit has demonstrated that it is capable of hitting this rate over an entire ozone season 5 CAMD Data as a Regulatory Mechanism • What can you do with this unit-specific “achievable” NOX rate – Design/Set permissible NOX rates per Unit • MDE has done this by setting “Indicator Rates” within our latest NOX regulation for coal-fired EGUs • The “Indicator Rates” are not identical to the “Achievable” rates but they are similar • Requires EGU owner/operators to explain why they were unable to meet the “Indicator

  • NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents
    Northeast Corridor One-Year Implementation Plan Fiscal Year 2017 September 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region. 2| NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents Introduction 6 Funding Summary 8 Baseline Capital Charge Program 10 1 - Boston South Station 12 16 - Shore to Girard 42 2 - Boston to Providence 14 17 - Girard to Philadelphia 30th Street 44 3 - Providence to Wickford Junction 16 18 - Philadelphia 30th Street - Arsenal 46 4 - Wickford Junction to New London 18 19 - Arsenal to Marcus Hook 48 5 - New London to New Haven 20 20 - Marcus Hook to Bacon 50 6 - New Haven to State Line 22 21 - Bacon to Perryville 52 7 - State Line to New Rochelle 24 22 - Perryville to WAS 54 8 - New Rochelle to Harold Interlocking 26 23 - Washington Union Terminal 56 9 - Harold Interlocking to F Interlocking 28 24 - WAS to CP Virginia 58 10 - F Interlocking to PSNY 30 25 - Springfield to New Haven 60 11 - Penn Terminal 32 27 - Spuyten Duyvil to PSNY* 62 12 - PSNY to Trenton 34 28 - 30th St.
