  • TIGER Grant History As the BNSF Line Serving the Southwest Chief Is Not A
    TIGER Grant History As the BNSF line serving the Southwest Chief is not a major freight route, the conditions of the rail were deteriorating which led to BNSF to reduce the speed limit on the route from 79 to 60 mph and it was highly probable that the speed limit could be further reduced to 30 mph. This caused concerns with Amtrak, due to the ability to complete the Chicago to Los Angeles run in 24 hours. Major improvements were needed to restore the overall speed and reliability of the line as well as the ride quality experienced by Amtrak’s passengers. There were also rumors regarding BNSF having an interest in divesting of their route through western Kansas. In January 2010, BNSF offered to reroute the Southwest Chief to other freight routes, thereby eliminating the Southwest Chief between Newton KS and Lamy NM. At that time, Amtrak chose to maintain the current service and pay the additional maintenance costs. In 2011, BNSF estimated that the 10-year capital investment needed for Amtrak to preserve the entire 636 miles of the Southwest Chief from Newton, KS to Lamy, NM was $300 million. Garden City officials met with BNSF officials, Kansas Senate President Steve Morris and KDOT officials on January 25, 2012, regarding future intentions along the La Junta subdivision. BNSF stated that this line will stay in their ownership. From that early 2012 meeting, the Southwest Chief Rural Rail Partnership was born and a phased approach to rehabilitation of the route was conceived. The Partnership includes municipal governments, county governments and other interested passenger rail organizations.

  • 10.21.2020 Flynn Amtrak Testimony.Pdf
    Testimony of William Flynn President and Chief Executive Officer National Railroad Passenger Corporation Before the United States Senate Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Passenger and Freight Rail: The Current Status of the Rail Network and the Track Ahead Wednesday, October 21, 2020 10:00 a.m. Russell Senate Office Building, Room 253 Amtrak 1 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20001-1401 (202) 906-3918 Amtrak and COVID-19 Introduction Good morning, Chairman Wicker, Ranking Member Cantwell, and Members of this Committee. Thank you for calling this hearing today to discuss Amtrak and COVID-19. My name is William Flynn, and this is my first opportunity to testify before you as Amtrak’s president and chief exec- utive officer, a position I assumed in April of this year. Let me start by thanking the thousands of Amtrak employees who have risen to the challenges associated with COVID-19 and have remained focused on Amtrak’s mission to provide safe, re- liable transportation to our customers and your constituents. Ticket agents, conductors, train attendants, red caps, cleaners, and dozens of other specialties are doing their part to keep America moving, and I am very proud of to be a part of the team. I come from a railroad family. My father and uncle were locomotive engineers, and my brother was an Amtrak conductor and local union chair. My first transportation job during summer break from college was working on a maintenance-of-way gang that was installing welded rail on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) in New England. In 43 years in the transportation industry, I have had the opportunity to serve in a multitude of roles in ocean shipping, airline, and railroad companies.

  • TRAIN OPERATIONS: the Acela Express 2021 Program Faces Oversight Weaknesses and Schedule Risks
    TRAIN OPERATIONS: The Acela Express 2021 Program Faces Oversight Weaknesses and Schedule Risks OIG-A-2018-002 | November 16, 2017 This page intentionally left blank. Memorandum To: Scot L. Naparstek Executive Vice President / Chief Operating Officer DJ Stadtler Executive Vice President / Chief Administration Officer Stephen Gardner Executive Vice President / Chief Commercial Officer From: Stephen Lord Assistant Inspector General, Audits Date: November 16, 2017 Subject: Train Operations: The Acela Express 2021 Program Faces Oversight Weaknesses and Schedule Risks (OIG-A-2018-002) In August 2016, Amtrak (the company) received a federal loan1 to purchase 28 new high-speed trainsets for $1.6 billion and undertake 10 infrastructure improvements needed to operate and maintain these trains for $850 million. Collectively, these projects—called the Acela Express 2021 program—represent the company's largest single investment in its 46 years of service. The new equipment will replace the 20 Acela trainsets currently providing high-speed service on the Northeast Corridor, allowing the company to increase service frequency between Washington, D.C., and Boston, Massachusetts. The Acela Express 2021 program is in the design stage. The trainset contractor, Alstom, is scheduled to deliver the first prototype in December 2019, and the new trainsets are scheduled to enter revenue service starting in January 2021. In addition, all 10 of the related infrastructure projects are in the design phase, and construction is scheduled from 2018 to 2021. Four of these projects must be completed before the new trains enter revenue service. They are aimed at improving the company’s service and inspection 1 This loan was provided through the Federal Railroad Administration’s Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing Program, which provides direct federal loans and guarantees to finance railroad infrastructure development.

  • Patriotism and Profit: San Diego's Camp Kearny
    Patriotism and Profit: San Diego’s Camp Kearny By John Martin In the late summer of 1917, the cadence of marching feet, the reports of rifles, and the clatter of mounted soldiers shattered the solitude of the sage-and-chaparral covered Linda Vista mesa some ten miles north of downtown San Diego. The new sounds resonated from Camp Kearny, a World War I National Guard training camp. The Army had come to town.
