The rail industry’s recent shift towards larger and heavier railcars has influenced Class III/short line railroad operation and track maintenance costs. Class III railroads earn less than $38.1 million in annual revenue and generally operate first and last leg shipping for their customers. In Kansas, Class III railroads operate approximately 40 percent of the roughly 2,800 miles (4,500 km) of rail; however, due to the current Class III track condition, they move lighter railcars at lower speeds than Class I railroads.

  • Missouri Freight Plan
    Chapter 3 – Missouri Freight System Chapter 3 – Missouri Freight System KEY POINTS One of the key products of this Missouri State Freight Plan is a defined Missouri freight network. This is the first time Missouri has had a defined freight network. That is important for several reasons, chief among those: a proposed improvement project must be located on or adjacent to the defined freight network to be considered in the freight prioritization process. The top 100 freight generators in Missouri were identified based on truck activity. This information helped support the identification of the freight network and shaped the prioritization process. Freight and commodity flows underscore the role Missouri plays as a bridge state for the nation, as most freight travels through our state instead of starting or ending here. Introduction Missouri is at the freight crossroads of America. As the geographic and demographic center of population for the United States, Missouri is well positioned as the country’s freight nexus. Missouri’s freight system is a network of highway, rail, air, water, pipeline, intermodal facilities, and freight generators that together move goods and commodities. The freight system is how Missouri products like soybeans and aviation parts are transported around the world. An understanding of the key features of the Missouri Freight Network is integral to understanding the strategies and future goals outlined in this Missouri State Freight Plan. The freight system offers a range of service options. The best freight service for a particular shipment depends on the shipment weight, shipment value, the origin and destination, when the product is needed, security and safety, transportation costs, and customer needs.

    U.S. Department 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE of Transportation Washington, DC 20590 Federal Railroad Administration AUG 2 9 2018 Mr. Keith T. Borman Vice President and General Counsel American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association 50 F Street NW, Suite 7020 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Docket Number FRA-2009-0078 Dear Mr. Borman: This letter is in response to the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association's (ASLRRA) August 7. 2018, petition to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). ASLRRA requested that FRA expand the regulatory relief granted in Docket Number FRA-2009-0078 to include two additional ASLRRA member railroads as parties to the waiver. The ASLRRA member railroads that seek to become parties to the subject waiver are the Regional Rail — Tyburn Railroad L.L.C. and the South Plains Lamesa Railroad, Ltd. The existing waiver provides ASLRRA member railroads relief from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4), which, in part, requires a train employee to receive 48 hours off-duty after initiating an on-duty period, each day, for 6 consecutive days. The existing waiver allows employees, working for railroads that are subject to the waiver, to receive 24 hours off-duty after initiating an on-duty period, each day, for 6 consecutive days. FRA notes that ASLRRA expressed in its request that the two above-referenced railroads sought employee input concerning the waiver request, and that the affected employees at each railroad support the waiver. ASLRRA also expressed that employee input concerning the waiver had been documented and will be made available to FRA upon request.

  • Proposal for Operator of Rail Service from Progressive Rail
    January 4, 2018 Proposal for Operator of Rail Service Mr. Luis Pavel Mendez Deputy Director Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission 1523 Pacific Avenue Santa Cruz, CA 95060-3911 Dear Mr. Mendez, Progressive Rail Incorporated (“PGR”) is pleased to submit a Proposal for Operator of Rail Service in accordance with the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (“SCCRTC”) Request For Proposals (“RFP”) dated December 8, 2017. Please accept this letter as our Transmittal Letter and the enclosed booklet (“Booklet”) as a detailed supplement of information that summarizes our vision and service plan for the Santa Cruz Branch Line. In preparation for this submittal, we have performed the following activities: • An onsite inspection of the entire 32 miles of rail; • An onsite inspection of all the bridges on the Branch Line with the assistance of A.R.E., an Irvine-based railroad bridge engineering firm; • An onsite inspection of all the railroad crossings with a goal to work with the municipalities to evaluate Locomotive Horn Signal Quiet Zones from Grove Lane Crossing in Capitola to Swift Avenue in Santa Cruz; • A meeting with the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk management to explore partnerships for passenger excursions; • A meeting with Ms. Christina Watson of the Transit Authority for Monterrey County to understand their plans and progress in developing a fast rail corridor to Salinas and how the Santa Cruz Branch Line might benefit from their experiences and ongoing efforts; • Meetings with potential freight customers in Watsonville; • Engaging PGR’s existing customers within its six-state network that would consider locating on the Santa Cruz Branch Line; • Given that PGR is already a major handling carrier for Union Pacific, meeting with representatives to advise them of our aspirations to become the Operator of the Branch Line; and • Retaining two rail advisors, one of whom is very familiar with the Branch Line operations, to meet with train manufacturers to explore environmentally friendly and California-compliant locomotives and train sets.
