The Scrambler Volume 27, No. 6 February, 2014 Monthly Newsletter of the Arkansas-Boston Mountains Chapter, National Railway Historical Society CHAPTER MINUTES Meeting of the Arkansas-Boston Mtn. Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society at the Shiloh Muse- um, Springdale, AR. January 16, 2014. Meeting was called to order at 7:02 PM by the President, Bob Stark. 22 members were present, and no guests. Minutes of the November meeting were approved. Bob Stark presented the Chapter Annual Appreciation Award to Tom Duggan for his long and valuable service to the Chapter in several capacities, the latest as Treasurer and liaison with National for the 2014 Convention. The matter of officers for 2014 was taken up. Chuck Girard was tasked to put together a nominating commit- tee, but it was deemed unnecessary because the current officers were asked if they wished to continue serving and were re-elected by acclamation: Bob Stark, President; Al Kaeppel, V-P; Tom Duggan, Treasurer.; Mal- colm Cleaveland, Secretary; Ken Eddy, National NRHS Representative, Chuck Girard, local membership; Gary McCullah and Steve Tharp, National Directors. Tom Duggan, the Treasurer, reported our total assets as $13,190. He handed out slips for a refund of the $12 chapter dues as we discussed in November, although some members are passing up the refund so the chapter can keep the money (defeating the idea of refunding chapter dues as a way of partially reducing the rather large accumulation in our accounts).

    The Iowa Interstate Railroad, Ltd. Growing and Glowing at Age 25 Table of Contents Item Page # Cover Painting – “IAIS’ Red Dawn” by Tom Fawell, 2008, all rights reserved Cover Foreword by Henry Posner III, Chairman History of the Iowa Interstate Railroad, LTD 1 Some Physical Facts about the IAIS 6 Now and Then—A Picture Gallery 7 Anniversary Date Personnel 13 Foreword As a student of rail history, I believe in the value of sharing information not just because it is valuable, but also inspirational. In the case of the Iowa Interstate, ours is a truly inspirational story but one which is not well-known, thus adding extra importance to this document. Iowa Interstate does not fall into an easy niche for either rail history or current events. As the eastern end of what is arguably the least documented of the western railways, we are associated with a predecessor, the Rock Island, which in turn was overshadowed by among others the Milwaukee Road and Chicago & North Western. And because we are not the spin-off of a Class 1, we do not fit the modern short line success story mold which at this point is almost a cliché in the industry and railfan press. So, what is Iowa Interstate’s rightful place in rail history? I would argue that we stand alone, in that we were not only an abandoned railway but a railway that was poignantly used in the era of regulation as a line which did not deserve to survive in an era of excess capacity and economic Darwinism.

  • Construction Begins on Chicago-Moline Rail Service
    Construction Begins on Chicago-Moline Rail Service Governor Pat Quinn and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) announced today the start of construction on the new passenger rail route connecting Chicago and Moline. The $23 million in improvements underway at the BNSF Railway's Eola Yard in Aurora are made possible by funds from the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) $177 million grant toward the project, as well as $78 million in matching funds provided by Governor Quinn's Illinois Jobs Now! capital program. "This project marks the start of better transportation between these two vital areas of the state," Governor Quinn said. "Passenger rail is creating jobs and opening new economic development opportunities across Illinois, and will help travelers get to their destinations quickly and efficiently for years to come. I am proud that our state is leading the way on this transportation trend of the future." The work that just started consists of track improvements and all necessary signal and capacity upgrades to accommodate the additional trains that will be utilizing the Eola Yard each day once the Chicago-Moline service begins. Grading and drainage improvements also are included. The estimated completion date is Summer 2015. "This truly is an historic day and one more major step toward reestablishing passenger service between Chicago and Moline," said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Erica Borggren. "The improvements at the Eola Yard would not be possible without the hard work of our partners at the FRA and BNSF Railway. By working together, we are creating jobs and economic development, improving travel options for communities along the line and building a 21st century transportation system for Illinois." The Eola Yard project will facilitate additional passenger trains on the 109-mile stretch between Chicago and Wyanet and help improve operational efficiencies for existing service between Chicago and Quincy.

The Railway Engineering­Maintenance Suppliers Association (REMSA) coordinated the event. The tour was led by Eric Schook, President, HiRAIL. The tour highlighted HiRAIL’s rubber grade­crossing systems which are manufactured on site. Their products utilize recycled rubber from vehicle tires that otherwise would be destined for a landfill. “We are honored to host Congressman Blum and demonstrate our commitment to environmentally friendly products and manufacturing here in Iowa,” said Schook. “Our business and local communities rely on consistent freight and transit investments and grade­crossing safety programs to grow our local economy and protect our families. It is critical we highlight these pressing issues to our policy makers in Washington.” Schook and Rep. Blum Founded in 1983, HiRAIL has since grown to become a world­class manufacturer of top­quality, full­depth, 100­percent rubber grade crossing systems. For over 25 years, HiRAIL has utilize recycled rubber from old vehicle tires in their products.
