  • INDOT – INDIANA STATE RAIL PLAN Passenger Rail User Group Interview Questions
    INDOT – INDIANA STATE RAIL PLAN Passenger Rail User Group Interview Questions GENERAL INFORMATION Date of Interview: October 16, 2020 Subject Name: Indiana Passenger Rail Alliance Location: Indianapolis (Interview via webex) Subject Representative: Steven Coxhead, President QUESTIONS 1. What does your organization do? How many employees and/or members does your organization have? We’re a volunteer nonprofit organization. We reach about 1,800 people through our publications. Our mission is to persuade the state to embrace passenger rail, and expand passenger rail travel options, including city to city, intrastate, commuter, and transit services. Our focus is on promoting corridors using conventional technology with travel speeds of 80 to 100 miles per hour. That’s an easier lift, technologically and financially, than establishing bullet train-type high speed rail services. Our goal is to encourage the state to support and establish modern passenger rail systems similar to those found in other parts of the United States. Our initial focus is on reinstating the Hoosier State corridor between Indianapolis and Chicago. We don’t get involved in political campaigns. We like to publicize what’s possible and what’s happening, and get support for public policy initiatives. 2. What makes people in Indiana decide to take a passenger train instead of driving or taking a bus or something else? What conditions would be necessary to convert more trips to passenger rail trips? Highway volumes continue to grow on I-65. Whenever new lanes are added, they fill up and congest immediately. Truck traffic is heavy on I-65. The traffic continues to grow and create constraints and inconveniences for drivers.

Shelby Chairman The Honorable Frank R. Lautenberg Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Transportation Committee on Appropriations United States Senate The Honorable Frank R. Wolf Chairman The Honorable Martin Olav Sabo Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Transportation and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Since it began operations in 1971, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) has never been profitable and has received about $21 billion in federal subsidies for operating and capital expenses. In December 1994, at the direction of the administration, Amtrak established the goal of eliminating its need for federal operating subsidies by 2002. However, despite efforts to control expenses and improve efficiency, Amtrak has only reduced its annual net loss from $834 million in fiscal year 1994 to $762 million in fiscal year 1997, and it projects that its net loss will grow to $845 million this fiscal year.1 Amtrak remains heavily dependent on substantial federal operating and capital subsidies. Given Amtrak’s continued dependence on federal operating subsidies, the Conference Report to the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1998 directed us to examine the financial (1) performance of Amtrak’s current routes, (2) implications for Amtrak of multiyear capital requirements and declining federal operating subsidies, and (3) effect on Amtrak of reforms contained in the Amtrak Reform and Accountability Act of 1997.

  • Amtrak Plans Reroute of Capitol Limited and Broadway Limited
    the 6:53 December 1989 OHIO ASSOCIATION Of RAILROAD PASSENGERS Issue • 86 '* '* '* SPECIAL ED I!ION '* '* '* AMTRAK PLANS REROUTE OF CAPITOL LIMITED AND BROADWAY LIMITED Debated over a long period, rumored for a number of years, cheered by many, lamented by some, and eagerly awaited by others: that would describe reaction by OARP members, newspapers, TIJ newscasts, and the pub! ic to the announcement of the pre! iminary agreement which vJas reached by AMTRAK with Conrail and CSX to reroute these two trains, probably within a year, and perhaps as early as next summer. The BROADWAY LIMITED operates from N~~ York to Chicago via Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. The CAPITOL LIMITED operates from Washington to Chicago via Cumberland and Pittsburgh. West of Pittsburgh both trains currently operate over Conrail tracks through Canton, Crestline, and Lima Ohio, and Fort Wayne, Warsaw, and ~Ja l parai so, Indiana, tracks which are being down-graded by Conrail because of limited freight usage. The n~" route for the BROADWAY wou I d taV.e the train from Pittsburgh through Youngstown and AV.ron, Ohio, and Auburn, Indiana over CSX tracks. The CAPITOL will be rerouted from Pittsburgh through Alliance, Cleveland, and Toledo, Ohio, and South Bend, Indiana, using Conrail tracV.s (same route as the LAKE SHORE west of Cleveland). AMTRAK says that it will continue to serve Fort Wayne via a direct bus connection to the CAPITOL at Water 1oo, Indiana ( 30 mi 1e,s away) and the BROADWAY at Auburn, Indiana (20 miles away). This change will place both trains on mainline tracks which will continue to be maintained for higher speeds.

This document highlights many important events that have occurred in the evolution of railroad transportation in Michigan. This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current. Consequently, some 28 years later, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has updated the original document and is placing it on our website for all to access. As you journey through this history of railroading in Michigan, may you find the experience both entertaining and beneficial. MDOT is certainly proud of Michigan’s railroad heritage.
