Chapter 8 Freight Movement
2012 Regional Transportation Plan Freight Movements Montachusett MPO Freight Movements Chapter 8 – Freight Movements FREIGHT MOVEMENTS Introduction An efficient and cost effective system that allows for the movement of freight and services is essential to the economic vitality of the Montachusett Region and Massachusetts. All aspects or components of a transportation network work together in the delivery of these goods. From rail and highways to airports and seaports, maintaining these systems to insure an effective and efficient network produces benefits that often reach beyond the borders of a region and a state. The Commonwealth has developed the Massachusetts Freight Rail Plan (September 2010) which “provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Commonwealth’s freight transportation system, its operations, and its effect on economic development and quality of life.” This chapter will review freight and goods movement from the overall state perspective though the Freight Plan as it relates to the Montachusett Region as well as an examination of regional issues and concerns. The Freight and Rail Plan can be found at the following website: www.massfreightandrailplan.com. Massachusetts Freight Plan The Massachusetts Freight Plan was completed in September 2010 and encompasses all modes of freight within the Commonwealth. A multi disciplined consultant team, examined conditions, issues, policies and impacts to and associated with the economic development and quality of life for the state.

And I say today Viva [sic!] La France, Long Live France.” o PROCLAIMED GOVERNOR STROM THURMOND on a cold February day in while Sstanding in Spartanburg’s railway station. South Carolina’s chief executive and other political dignitaries had come to welcome an unusual gift from the people of France. It was a small boxcar, a token of appreciation from an ally recovering from the ravages of four years of German occupation. The diminutive freight car of this type had been the backbone of the French rail system before World War I. This one was now filled with objects ranging from the simplest child’s drawings to impressive works of art, all contributed by citizens of France. -

Monon Plans No Tower Changes Monon Hearing on Trains Ends Obit
January 10, 1940 Hammond Time Monon Plans No Tower Changes The Monon railroad does not propose to move towers from Fayette, Russell, Clinton and Douglas street crossings in Hammond. This was indicated by A. Anderson, chief engineer, who notified board of works and safety-members that the line will not undertake a project which the city will not approve, nor will the railroad violate any city ordinances in changing crossing protection. Residents became aroused recently when it was reported that the railroad planned to operate gates on two crossings from a single tower erected midway between the crossings. The company now is installing a compressor that will furnish air at a central point. Pipe lines are near completion. They will carry air to different towers and will spare towerman the job of operating hand pumps. Combining the operation of gates at more than one crossing has been marked with success in numerous cities, officials said. Monon Hearing On Trains Ends The Indiana Public Service Commission concluded evidence in the Monon railroad company‘s petition to discontinue two train runs between Chicago and Indianapolis at a hearing yesterday in Delphi, Ind. The commission announced it would take the petition under advisement and release a ruling in the near future. Most of the evidence consisted of remonstrances against the proposed discontinuance. The company presented its case to the commission at a hearing held in December. February 11, 1940 Hammond Times Obit Joseph M. Stephens, 42, resident of Hammond for 30 years and employed as a clerk by the Monon railroad, died at St. -

The Project also includes bicycle/pedestrian improvements in the City of Northampton, MA with the construction of an underpass that runs under the rail line. An additional benefit of the rail line rehabilitation will be improved freight service for customers along the line and within western Massachusetts. The improvements to the Knowledge Corridor will occur on the Connecticut River mainline of the Pan Am Southern (PAS) railroad, a joint venture between Pan Am Railways and Norfolk Southern. MassDOT, through its Rail and Transit Division, has designated the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's (MBTA) Design and Construction Department to oversee the implementation of the Project through final design and construction and has entered into a Construction Agreement with Pan Am Southern, LLC to construct the Project.
