University President Glenn Poshard recently proposed the building of a new coal-fired power plant that could generate electricity for SIUC’s cam- pus, local communities and other uni- versities across the state. The univer- sity is conducting a study to determine the feasibility of such a plant, Poshard said Wednesday. The plant, which could produce up to 100 times the power of the campus’ current facility, would provide energy for much cheaper than power companies, he said. “It will cut our utility costs in half and that’s a huge amount of money that we expend every year,” he said. The university could also make money by selling its excess electricity to local communities and other uni- versities in the state, he said. The project would produce 2,000 JAKE LOCKARD ~ DAILY EGYPTIAN construction jobs and 100 to 150 Nick Skala, left, co-founder of Health Care for All Illinois, talks with Rich Whitney, center, 2006 Green Party Illinois gubernatorial permanent positions.

Washington, D.C. 20594 National Transportation Safety Board. 2017. Amtrak Train Collision with Maintenance-of-Way Equipment, Chester, Pennsylvania, April 3, 2016. NTSB/RAR-17/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: On April 3, 2016, about 7:50 a.m. eastern daylight time, southbound Amtrak train 89 (train 89) struck a backhoe with a worker inside at milepost 15.7 near Chester, Pennsylvania. The train was authorized to operate on main track 3 (track 3) at the maximum authorized speed of 110 mph. Beginning on the morning of April 1, Amtrak had scheduled track-bed restoration―ballast vacuuming—at milepost 15.7 on track 2 on the Philadelphia to Washington Line. Track 2 had to be taken out of service between control points Baldwin (milepost 11.7) and Hook (milepost 16.8) for the 55 hour duration of the project. As train 89 approached milepost 15.7, the locomotive engineer saw equipment and workers on and near track 3 and initiated an emergency brake application. The train speed was 106 mph before the emergency brake application and 99 mph when it struck the backhoe. Two roadway workers were killed, and 39 other people were injured. Amtrak estimated property damages to be $2.5 million.
