This celebrated road has succeeded in mirroring the mood of the United Statesfor nearly a century. Gestated in the booming 1920s, Route 66 was promoted by Cyrus Avery (today known as the Father of Route 66) and others as the “shortest and most direct Route between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Coast.” Paved end to end by 1937, the highway was marketed by Avery’s National U.S. 66 Highway Association through a series of publicity events including the 1929 transcontinental footrace that followed Route 66 from Los Angeles to Chicago, and then onto New York City, dubbed the “Bunion Derby.” During the Great Depression, Route 66 became the “road of flight” for families escaping the Dust Bowl. During World War II, it was one of the major routes for transporting armed forces—troops and materials. Later came the post-war exodus of ex-GIs and their families to join the booming California job market. In the recovery years, times were good, and American families took two-week vacations to drive Route 66 and see the wonders of the West. In the 1960s, the +&+!F#,,14& !0!$*!+1,# &01,/&,21!^^0,21%,# “hippie” counterculture lured thousands of the &*&<()%,*? nation’s disenchanted youth west on Route 66, */,9::.$*)',&,0$ hitchhiking or packed in microbuses. During the 1960s and 1970s, Route 66 became less important for highway travel as people flocked to the more efficient ribbons of concrete of the interstate highway system which was begun in 1956. The final section of Route 66 was bypassed by Interstate 40 at Williams, Arizona in 1985. In all, the Mother Road was “replaced” from a transportation engineering perspective by Interstates 55, 44, 40, 15 and 10. ^ +*!*0/HH Chicago Springfield St. Louis Los Angeles Santa Fe Santa Monica Flagstaff Albuquerque Oklahoma City Amarillo But transportation engineers do not rule the heart and the siren call of the Mother Road and its special sense of place, personality, and time continues to lure legions of United States and international tourists. To cite just one example, the Route 66 Museum of Clinton, Oklahoma (a community of about 9,000 located approximately 100 miles west of Oklahoma City) attracted about 35,000 visitors in 2009 (almost four times the local population), including about 10,000 international visitors. Sometimes traveling the Mother Road, as Route 66 is popularly referred to, takes interesting forms. Some travelers, including one recent 71-year old retiree, have jogged its entire length.1 In 2010, a Frenchman started “doing the route” entirely on stilts.2 There are regular caravans of many different types of vehicles making their way on the Mother Road, ranging from bicycles to American muscle cars, from husky-tuned Harley Davidsons to rumbling big-finned Cadillacs, and including as well a dollop of vintage cars and motorcycles air-lifted from literally around the globe to take on the 2,400-mile trek. This near-century caravan of people and vehicles traversing Route 66 has inspired media and literature and, in turn, has been fueled by the trumpeting of the Mother Road in the creative arts. Route 66 has been immortalized at various points in its history through song, film, TV, and literature. Books such as John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road both directly and indirectly contributed to the highway’s popularity during its heyday as a passage west. Bobby Troup’s seminal song, “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66,” became a theme song for the highway, and is still recognizable today to people even only remotely aware of Route 66’s historic significance. The popular 1960s American TV show Route 66 caused the route to soar as an icon in the public consciousness even as it was falling into decline as a highway. More recently, since the decommissioning of Route 66 in 1985, movies like YC_YF6!/F,) /!1&/!!',$0!+1&/!)!+$1%,#,21!^^?D*/.HH?%11->EE/3/,21!^^?),$0-,1?,*EZXXaIYZIXYI/%&3!?%1*)

  • Interview with Buz Waldmire in Springfield, Illinois
    Buz Waldmire: Springfield, IL Transcribed by Nora Hickey TABLE OF CONTENTS Origins of Waldmire Road – Dad’s background – origins of Dad’s restaurants and food products (Crusty Curs, Cozy Dog, Chili-wich) – first Cozy Dog restaurant on 6th St. – presence of interstate in 1960’s – first customers/business in restaurant – South 6th St in general – area and restaurant during Buz’s young adulthood – travelers at the restaurant in ‘60’s – transition of restaurant ownership from Dad to Buz – Route 66 business – family involvement in R66 – Bob Waldmire (brother) – Bob in IL – Bob as artist – Bob and R66 – Bob and Hackberry, AZ – Bob as defining R66 persona. DAVID DUNAWAY I’m wondering how you came to live on Waldmire Road in Rochester? BUZ WALDMIRE Well, this dates back prior to the 911 system, and when there wasn’t a 911 system and there was an emergency the local ambulances or fire departments pretty much knew where everyone lived. When they went into a 911 system, and I don’t know what was involved with that, if they had to pass legislation or whatever, but they set it up they said well, where do these people live, how do we give them an address? And somebody says, I know let’s call the power company! So they called the electricity company, and they had specific records and street locations for every transformer that they hung throughout the county and in the area. It just so happened that my dad was really one of the first people out here, so when the power company came out and hung the transformer and put in the electric for the house way back in the woods, they identified it as Waldmire Road.

  • Numerical Simulation of the Howard Street Tunnel Fire
    Fire Technology, 42, 273–281, 2006 C 2006 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC. Manufactured in The United States DOI: 10.1007/s10694-006-7506-9 Numerical Simulation of the Howard Street Tunnel Fire Kevin McGrattan and Anthony Hamins, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA Published online: 24 April 2006 Abstract. The paper presents numerical simulations of a fire in the Howard Street Tunnel, Baltimore, Maryland, following the derailment of a freight train in July, 2001. The model was validated for this application using temperature data collected during a series of fire experi- ments conducted in a decommissioned highway tunnel in West Virginia. The peak predicted temperatures within the Howard Street Tunnel were approximately 1,000◦C (1,800◦F) within the flaming regions, and approximately 500◦C (900◦F) averaged over a length of the tunnel equal to about four rail cars. Key words: fire modeling, Howard Street Tunnel fire, tunnel fires Introduction On July 18, 2001, at 3:08 pm, a 60 car CSX freight train powered by 3 locomotives traveling through the Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland, derailed 11 cars. A fire started shortly after the derailment. The tunnel is 2,650 m (8,700 ft, 1.65 mi) long with a 0.8% upgrade in the section of the tunnel where the fire occurred. There is a single track within the tunnel. Its lower entrance (Camden portal) is near Orioles Park at Camden Yards; its upper entrance is at Mount Royal Station. The train was traveling towards the Mount Royal portal when it derailed.
