  • Dayton, Ohio Invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging
    Published by the Electric Traction Committee, Edmonton Trolley Coalition Edited by Retired Employees of the Edmonton Transit Service VOL. 36 Adopting Tomorrow’s Technology Today: Dayton, Ohio invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging After lengthy testing, the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA) is buying 26 NexGen Electric Trolleys and will put the first production model in service by 2019. The RTA Board authorized spending up to $57.4 million for the 26 vehicles and parts, plus 15 more NexGen Trolleys that will be bought once federal funding is in place, Executive Director Mark Donaghy told reporters. It is the largest bus contract in RTA history. The NexGen Electric Trolleybus bus costs 63 percent more than a standard diesel transit bus, but has a 20-year, 800,000 mile life compared to the diesel’s 12-year, 500,000 mile life, Donaghy said. Electric trolleys are cheaper to operate, better for the environment and quieter than a diesel bus, he explained. “Using electric instead of diesel buses is a step towards a clean air environment for Dayton,” said Peggy Ann Berry, an occupational safety and health professional and Climate Reality Project leader in Dayton. “Diesel buses release dirty fossil fuel emissions into the environment. These emissions exacerbate asthma attacks as well as add to the cardiac burden of older adults.” RTA is now finalizing the cost of the NexGen after making several modifications to the prototype. The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is picking up 80 percent of the cost, and the rest comes from the local sales tax and rider fares.

  • Canadian Rail I
    Canadian Rail i No. 288 January 1976 I -- -----1l. ElN THE Sl1B Hal Riegger Photos by the Author. round here, they all say that the last train to run over that track was the "National Dream". And, in -R a way, they're right, although the "National Dream" was not a train , but the title of Pierre Berton's novel about the history of an idea that resulted in Canada's first transcontinental railway, known, for simplicity's sake, as the CPR. For ninety years, Canadian Pacific Railway has been in the minds of Canadians and others, and especially in 1974, when a television series, based onMr. Berton's two volumes on the construction of the CPR was- shown in eight installments on television in Canada. People around Penticton, British Columbia and the Carmi Subdivision of the Kootenay Division were and are particularly conscious - and proud, for it was a mere 50 miles away from their town that filming of some of the most spectacular country was done for the television series. Ex-Canadian Pacific steam locomotive Number 136, a 4-4-0, lea­ sed from Ontario Rail Association of Brampton, Ontario and fitted with a mushroom stack for the occasion, with a boxcar, baggage car and coach of early vintage, was brought all the way out west, via Crowsnest Pass, along CP RAIL's tracks in southern British Columbia. This was during the summer of 1973. THE MOST APPROPRIATE EXPLANATION OF THIS MONTH'S PECULIAR COVER LIES in the brief note which accompanied it: "This picture, which may in- terest you, was taken on June 30, 1974 at Crowsnest, B.C.

  • Intrarailroad and Intermodal Competition Impacts on Railroad Wheat Rates by Michael W
    JTRF Volume 54 No. 3, Fall 2015 Intrarailroad and Intermodal Competition Impacts on Railroad Wheat Rates by Michael W. Babcock and Bebonchu Atems The issue addressed in this paper is more fully understanding the relationship of intrarailroad competition and rail rates for wheat in the largest wheat producing states, which are Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington. The overall objective of the study is to investigate railroad pricing behavior for wheat shipments. The rate model was estimated with OLS in double-log specification utilizing the 2012 STB Confidential Waybill sample and other data. The research found that the distance from origin to destination and the total shipment weight had the expected negative relationships with railroad wheat rates and were statistically significant. The distance from origin to the nearest barge loading location had the expected positive relationship to railroad wheat rates and was also significant. The weight of each covered hopper car and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index were both non-significant. However, the study used other data to determine that intrarailroad competition for wheat shipments within states appears to be present in most states. INTRODUCTION Railroads were the most heavily regulated transportation mode prior to passage of the Staggers Rail Act in 1980. Deregulation gave the railroads price flexibility that was previously unavailable. Prices between variable cost and 180% of variable cost were not subject to regulatory review. The Staggers Act set time limits for ICC decisions regarding abandonments and mergers. Thus, Class I railroads were able to quickly abandon or sell unprofitable branch lines.
