  • AAPRCO & RPCA Members Meet to Develop Their Response to New Amtrak Regulations
    Volume 1 Issue 6 May 2018 AAPRCO & RPCA members meet to develop their response to new Amtrak regulations Members of the two associations met in New Orleans last week to further develop their response to new regulations being imposed by Amtrak on their members’ private railroad car businesses. Several of those vintage railroad cars were parked in New Orleans Union Station. “Most of our owners are small business people, and these new policies are forcing many of them to close or curtail their operations,” said AAPRCO President Bob Donnelley. “It is also negatively impacting their employees, suppliers and the hospitality industry that works with these private rail car trips,” added RPCA President Roger Fuehring. Currently about 200 private cars travel hundreds of thousands of miles behind regularly scheduled Amtrak trains each year. Along with special train excursions, they add nearly $10 million dollars in high margin revenue annually to the bottom line of the tax-payer subsidized passenger railroad. A 12% rate increase was imposed May 1 with just two weeks’ notice . This followed a longstanding pattern of increases taking effect annually on October 1. Cost data is being developed by economic expert Bruce Horowitz for presentation to Amtrak as are legal options. Members of both organizations are being asked to continue writing their Congress members and engaging the press. Social media is being activated and you are encouraged to follow AAPRCO on Facebook and twitter. Successes on the legislative front include this Congressional letter sent to Amtrak's president and the Board and inclusion of private car and charter train issues in recent hearings.

    2019 PRODUCT GUIDE *Layout and photo by Jay Oberg Experience & Quality You Can Depend On Dear Model Railroader: Welcome to our 2019 Micro-Trains Product Guide. Located in Southern Oregon, Micro-Trains manufactures premier N and Z scale rolling stock, our popular Magne-Matic® Coupler Welcome System, and a variety of model railroad tools and accessories, in our 33,000 sq ft factory. And we’ve been at it for over 46 years! During 2019, we have an array of all new model railroad products, that we’ll be designing, tooling and producing for you, our valued customer. This year our new tooling will include our 11th Heavyweight Passenger car, in this series; the Single Window Coach Car. And given the popularity of our N scale DODX 68’ flat car with military loads; we’ll be producing our own injection-molded multipurpose, light 4-wheel drive military utility vehicle known as the Humvee, as the next military load for our DODX flat cars. Already underway, Micro-Trains has been enhancing our ever-popular 40’ and 50’ box cars by lowering the car’s underframe to the rail, and offering “cored through”, injection-molded roof walks, similar to what we’ve already done with our 50’ box car roof walks. In addition, we’re modifying the cars to body-mount couplers, and where appropriate adding etched metal brake platforms to the car ends. We’re essentially making the best N scale rolling stock, even better! In addition to tooling up all new rail cars and accessories, Micro-Trains continues the tradition of issuing prototypical railcar series during 2019; we’ll be introducing our “Farm- to-Table” Reefer series in both N and Z scale.
