  • BNSF Invests Across Its Regions to Expand Capacity and Maintain Vast Network Company Will Spend More Than $100 Million Per State in Nearly Half Its Network
    Contact: Amy Casas FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 817-867-6139 [email protected] BNSF Invests Across its Regions to Expand Capacity and Maintain Vast Network Company will spend more than $100 million per state in nearly half its network FORT WORTH, TEXAS, January 15, 2015 – BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) today announced more details about the major capital projects it plans to complete in 2015 to maintain and grow its rail network. In BNSF’s North Region, the company will invest approximately $1.5 billion across eight states for engineering maintenance and line expansion projects, of which approximately $700 million* is planned for projects to expand the rail lines and Positive Train Control (PTC) in that region. BNSF’s North Region has experienced the most rapid growth in recent years. It is the corridor used to move agriculture and coal to export facilities in the Pacific Northwest, petroleum products produced in the region that are destined for refinery facilities, and for consumer products shipped to and from marine ports in the Pacific Northwest. The North Region is also a destination point for materials that support the production of crude oil in the Bakken shale formation. In BNSF’s South Region, the railroad plans to spend approximately $800 million in nine states for engineering maintenance and line expansion projects, of which $175 million is planned for line expansion initiatives and continued implementation of PTC. The South Region includes BNSF’s high-speed transcontinental route with more than 2,000 miles of double track that allows customers to move freight from West Coast marine ports to interchange facilities in Chicago as well as major rail terminals in Kansas City, Fort Worth, Denver and St.

  • The Need for Freight Rail Electrification in Southern California
    The Need for Freight Rail Electrification in Southern California Brian Yanity Californians for Electric Rail [email protected] May 13, 2018 Executive Summary Full electrification of freight trains is the only proven zero-emissions freight railroad technology. Electric rail propulsion can take several different forms, including locomotives powered by overhead catenary wire, on-board batteries, or more advanced concepts such as battery tender cars and linear synchronous motors. This white paper is largely a literature review of previous studies on electric freight rail in the Southern California region, with information compiled about existing electric freight rail locomotives and systems from around the world. The two main benefits of freight rail electrification in the region would be reduced air pollution, and reduced consumption of diesel fuel for transportation. Electrification of freight rail in Southern California would reduce the public health impacts to local communities affected by diesel-powered freight transportation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions of freight movement. The main challenge for electric freight rail is the high capital costs of electric rail infrastructure, especially the overhead catenary wire over tracks. A variety of options for public and/or private financing of freight rail electrification need to be explored. Electrification of the proposed short-haul rail service between the ports and the Inland Empire, currently under study, is an opportunity for using electric locomotives though the Alameda

Rickett et al. 11-2236 1 ABSTRACT Intermodal freight generates one of the highest sources of revenue among all traffic types transported by North American railroads. Intermodal trains, however, use equipment that is not aerodynamically efficient compared to other types of rolling stock, and typically operate at higher speeds, creating significant aerodynamic drag. This high resistance associated with the movement of intermodal trains results in significant annual operating expenses in the form of fuel expenditures.

    STATEMENT OF EDWARD R. HAMBERGER PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN RAILROADS BEFORE THE U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE AND TRANSPORTATION SUBCOMMITTEE ON SURFACE TRANSPORTATION AND MERCHANT MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE, SAFETY, AND SECURITY HEARING ON NATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR EFFICIENT FREIGHT MOVEMENT JUNE 10, 2008 Association of American Railroads 50 F Street NW Washington, DC 20001 202-639-2100 Introduction On behalf of the members of the Association of American Railroads (AAR), thank you for the opportunity to discuss strategies for efficient freight movement. AAR members account for 75 percent of U.S. freight railroad mileage operated, 92 percent of employees, and 95 percent of revenue. Comprehensive, reliable, and cost-effective freight railroad service is critical to our nation. Today, freight railroads account for more than 40 percent of U.S. intercity ton-miles — more than any other mode of transportation — and serve nearly every industrial, wholesale, retail, agricultural, and mineral-based sector of our economy. And in the words of the former Railways Adviser at the World Bank, “Because of a market-based approach involving minimal government intervention, today’s U.S. freight railroads add up to a network that, comparing the total cost to shippers and taxpayers, gives the world’s most cost-effective rail freight service.” Looking ahead, the United States cannot prosper in an increasingly-competitive global marketplace if our freight is not delivered efficiently and cost effectively. Having adequate freight rail capacity is critical to this effort. Freight railroads must be able to both maintain their extensive existing infrastructure and equipment and build the substantial new capacity that will be required to transport the significant additional traffic our economy will generate.
