In the process Paul almost single-handedly started what we now call the “heritage streetcar” movement. His company imported many streetcars from Australia and Brazil, but the largest part of that pioneering effort involved trams from Portugal.

  • Bombardier Test Project Involves Induction Technology Page 1 of 3
    Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 1 of 3 Bombardier test project involves induction technology BY FRANÇOIS SHALOM, THE GAZETTE JANUARY 10, 2013 An artist’s conception of Bombardier’s new electric bus which has its battery recharged through a capacitor under bus stops. MONTREAL — There’s no budget, no timeline, no proven technology, much less shovels in the ground or even a signed contract. But it’s substantially more than an idle dream. Montreal’s Île-Ste-Hélène is scheduled to be the North American test site this year for Bombardier Inc.’s Primove pilot project, a technology that is being tested at four sites in Germany, where the firm’s rail division is based. Primove’s mandate is to develop electric mass-transit propulsion systems, but not the vehicles themselves. Intended to bypass the conventional notion of electric buses and trolley buses powered by cumbersome batteries, Primove rests on an inductive transfer of power from ground-based electrical power sources to very small batteries placed under, not in, the bus. Sensors on the vehicles would store the energy emitted by the electro-magnetic field, but only in small quantities, feeding the bus or trolley sufficiently to reach the next power source a short distance away. The system can charge while the vehicle is in motion or at rest. http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=7803624&sponsor= 2/28/2013 Bombardier test project involves induction technology Page 2 of 3 “You bury power stations capable of charging rapidly, even instantly — we’re talking seconds — so that you don’t need to resort to (lengthier) conventional power boost systems currently on the market” like hybrid and electric vehicles, said Bombardier Transportation spokesperson Marc Laforge.

  • Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Final
    I-444-001 The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would construct the new SR 99 bored tunnel away from the central waterfront as described in the Final EIS. If this alternative is selected, the final configuration of Alaskan Way will be determined by the Central Waterfront planning process being led by the City of Seattle. The City recognizes the value of improving pedestrian connections and providing improved public space along the waterfront that will allow people to walk, bicycle, play, and view Elliott Bay and the mountains. A lid up to Steinbrueck park is proposed as part of the Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative. I-444-002 FHWA, WSDOT, and the City of Seattle appreciate receiving your comments on the 2004 Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative. The alignment for the Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative has been refined in the Final EIS. The lead agencies have identified the Bored Tunnel Alternative as the preferred alternative due to its ability to best meet the project’s identified purposes and needs and the support it has received from diverse interests. Because the project has evolved since comments were submitted in 2004, please refer to the Final EIS for current information. I-444-003 A lid was incorporated into the design of the 2006 Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative and evaluated in the 2006 Supplemental Draft EIS. It was included in the project, due in part to numerous 2004 Draft EIS public comments requesting the lead agencies to consider a lid in the Pike Place/Belltown area. The proposed lid would extend north from where SR 99 emerges from the tunnel’s north portal near Pine Street to Victor Steinbrueck Park near Virginia Street.

FTA implemented this study to research the institutional arrangements, service characteristics and costs associated with vintage trolley systems currently being operated in order to provide a base of information with which to make informed funding decisions for future projects. FTA also requested that comparable information be obtained for several downtown bus circulator systems which might bean alternative to the implementation of vintage trolley services. Background In 1917, there were 44,800 miles of electric railway trackage in the United States. The combination of growing automobile usage and improved roads led to the demise of electric railway transportation from the 1920s through 1950s. Today, the United States is witnessing a growing renaissance of vintage trolley systems. Vintage trolleys have been successfully integrated into the public transportation systems in several cities. Businessmen in many areas have pursued vintage trolley service as a means to stimulate local business in redeveloped or historic areas.
