  • Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin
    Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin May 1971: As part of its inaugural system, Amtrak operates five daily round trips in the Chicago- Milwaukee corridor over the Milwaukee Road main line. Four of these round trips are trains running exclusively between Chicago’s Union Station and Milwaukee’s Station, with an intermediate stop in Glenview, IL. The fifth round trip is the Chicago-Milwaukee segment of Amtrak’s long-distance train to the West Coast via St. Paul, northern North Dakota (e.g. Minot), northern Montana (e.g. Glacier National Park) and Spokane.

  • 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.

  • At 34 Mph, Doors Suddenly Opened on Car of Packed Metra Train
    At 34 mph, doors suddenly opened on car of packed Metra train chicago.suntimes.com/news/at-34-mph-doors-suddenly-opened-on-car-of-packed-metra-bnsf-train-naperville-watchdogs/ If their morning coffee didn’t already have them wide awake, Metra BNSF riders were given a brief jolt of adrenaline when doors in one car on a packed express train between Naperville and the Loop suddenly opened last month. No one was hurt, and the doors quickly closed on their own. But it was the second time in recent years there’s been a problem with open doors on the BNSF line, which stretches between Aurora and Chicago’s Union Station and is Metra’s busiest route and one of its most delay- prone. In 2013, a train heading from the city to the west suburbs ran roughly 10 minutes with a door open, apparently because of an ice build-up, according to news reports at the time. This time, the doors sprung open with people in the vestibule and the train going around 34 miles an hour as it geared up leaving the Naperville station towards its top speed of around 70 mph. “It was a problem with what’s called the door relay, which is a component in the electrical circuit that controls the doors,” according to Metra spokesman Michael Gillis, who said a piece was “worn.” Metra said workers “determined the cause of the electrical glitch to be an intermittent failure of one of the parts of the electrical circuit that controls the train doors.
