  • Rolling Stock: Locomotives and Rail Cars
    Rolling Stock: Locomotives and Rail Cars Industry & Trade Summary Office of Industries Publication ITS-08 March 2011 Control No. 2011001 UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION Karen Laney Acting Director of Operations Michael Anderson Acting Director, Office of Industries This report was principally prepared by: Peder Andersen, Office of Industries [email protected] With supporting assistance from: Monica Reed, Office of Industries Wanda Tolson, Office of Industries Under the direction of: Deborah McNay, Acting Chief Advanced Technology and Machinery Division Cover photo: Courtesy of BNSF Railway Co. Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.

So, both those items and only two hours on our agenda, so I’m going to get started very quickly with an introduction of our members and witnesses, if we could. [The committee members and witnesses introduced themselves.] MADAM CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much, and with that we’ll go straight to the opening statements from our guests. We’ll start with the Department of Environment and that would be Ms. Vanstone. MS. NANCY VANSTONE: Thank you very much, Madam Chairman, and good morning to you all. As you mentioned, there are two items on your agenda today that you invited Environment to come to your meeting for - the follow-up to the 2008 Auditor General’s Report on environmental monitoring compliance and also to provide information on our role in the remediation of the Sydney Steel Corporation and adjacent sites. 1 2 HANSARD COMM.
