From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.

Factors Affecting Commuter Rail Energy Efficiency and Its Comparison with Competing Passenger Transportation Modes
FACTORS AFFECTING COMMUTER RAIL ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ITS COMPARISON WITH COMPETING PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION MODES BY GIOVANNI C. DIDOMENICO THESIS Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Advisers: Professor Christopher P.L. Barkan Senior Research Engineer C. Tyler Dick, P.E. ABSTRACT As concerns about the environmental impacts and sustainability of the transportation sector continue to grow, modal energy efficiency is a factor of increasing importance when evaluating benefits and costs of transportation systems and justifying future investment. Poor assumptions on the efficiency of the system can alter the economics of investment in commuter rail. This creates a need to understand the factors affecting commuter rail energy efficiency and the comparison to competing passenger transportation modes to aid operators and decision makers in the development of new commuter rail lines and the improvement of existing services. This thesis describes analyses to further understand the factors affecting the current energy efficiency of commuter rail systems, how their efficiency may be improved through implementation of various technologies, and how their efficiency compares to competing modes of passenger transportation. After reviewing the literature, it was evident that past studies often conducted energy efficiency analyses and modal comparisons using methods that favored one energy source or competing mode by neglecting losses in the system. Therefore, four methods of energy efficiency analysis were identified and applied to 25 commuter rail systems in the United States using data from the National Transit Database (NTD).

Chapter 2 Track
CALTRAIN DESIGN CRITERIA CHAPTER 2 - TRACK CHAPTER 2 TRACK A. GENERAL This Chapter includes criteria and standards for the planning, design, construction, and maintenance as well as materials of Caltrain trackwork. The term track or trackwork includes special trackwork and its interface with other components of the rail system. The trackwork is generally defined as from the subgrade (or roadbed or trackbed) to the top of rail, and is commonly referred to in this document as track structure. This Chapter is organized in several main sections, namely track structure and their materials including civil engineering, track geometry design, and special trackwork. Performance charts of Caltrain rolling stock are also included at the end of this Chapter. The primary considerations of track design are safety, economy, ease of maintenance, ride comfort, and constructability. Factors that affect the track system such as safety, ride comfort, design speed, noise and vibration, and other factors, such as constructability, maintainability, reliability and track component standardization which have major impacts to capital and maintenance costs, must be recognized and implemented in the early phase of planning and design. It shall be the objective and responsibility of the designer to design a functional track system that meets Caltrain’s current and future needs with a high degree of reliability, minimal maintenance requirements, and construction of which with minimal impact to normal revenue operations. Because of the complexity of the track system and its close integration with signaling system, it is essential that the design and construction of trackwork, signal, and other corridor wide improvements be integrated and analyzed as a system approach so that the interaction of these elements are identified and accommodated.

HO-Scale Conversion List Handout
® HO-SCALE COUPLER CONVERSION LIST 7-8-21 The Coupler People Most of the below listings have conversion drawing and instructions on our web site at www.kadee.com/hocc.htm Newer models that have factory installed knuckle couplers are easily converted by using our standard head #148 or scale head #158 Whisker® Couplers. Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.

Dimensioning a Passenger, Touristic Train for Ecological and Economical
Dimensioning a passenger, touristic train for ecological and economical performance, and EU gas emission normative compliance, for a regional, non-electrified rail line on mountainous terrain. Ahmed Amine Ramdani Under the supervision of Pr. Ricard Bosch Tous Dept. of Electrical Engineering (DEE-UPC) School of Industrial Engineering of Barcelona (ETSEIB) BarcelonaTECH (UPC) October 6, 2014 2 Abstract Rail lines that have too little traffic to be electrified may face difficulty in adapting the propulsion of their moving railway material to the progressively more stringent regulations on gas emissions. Lasting changes in the relative prices of fuels also affect which types of fuels and engines are most cost-effective. Here we will attempt to establish the bases for evaluating whether the current Diesel-Electric paradigm is becoming outdated, and whether one particular alternative, a gas turbine fuelled by natural gas, is worth switching to. We will be focusing on the specific example of the Lleida-La Pobla rail line, and whether the industrial tissue around it is equipped to facilitate such a change. 3 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my parents, who have supported from the beginning, as well as my younger brothers and sisters. I would like to think my project adviser, Pr. Ricard Bosch, for providing me with ideas and guidance every step of the way, and knowing to tell me when to stop. I would also like to thank, for their collaboration in providing me data and counsel, the following individuals: • Jamal Salam, Track Engineering Manager at ALSTOM TRANSPORT, who helped me asses the cost of electrifying rail lines, and the viability of employing hybrid trains.

EMD F40PH Later Phases Following on the Success of Our HO Scale Amtrak Phase 1 Models, Rapido Trains Inc
EMD F40PH Later Phases Following on the success of our HO scale Amtrak Phase 1 models, Rapido Trains Inc. is pleased to announce the Phase 2 Amtrak F40PH in HO scale. Our model has been scaled from original Amtrak and EMD blueprints and has been designed with the help of F40PH fans and current members of the Amtrak team who are Prototype photo from themselves model railroaders. Customers collection of Matt Donnelly can thus rest assured that the locomotive is dimensionally accurate from nose to tail. Amtrak’s second F40PH order incorporat- ed several changes to the original Phase 1 design. Phase 2a and 2b units (230-279, 280-328) received larger 1800-gallon fuel tanks mounted toward the front of the frame. The air reservoirs were shifted to- ward the rear and to the engineer’s side, while the battery boxes were located on the fireman’s side. Newer and wider Nathan Our new HO scale F40PH models continue the unprecedented level of detail K5LA horns were specified, requiring a wider horn notch on the cab roof. Units 280- offered on our Phase 1 F40PH model. 328 (termed Phase 2b) had four vertical ribs at the rear of each side. • Correct body and era-specific details for each model When new EPA regulations took effect in 1980, the radiator fans were replaced • Extensive, separate underbody piping, conduit and wire grab irons by quieter Q-fans creating the Phase 3 version of the F40PH. Phase 3 F40s share • Working head lights, backup light, strobe and marker lights other spotting features with the Phase 2b F40.
