    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1999 (202) 514-2007 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REQUIRES DIVESTITURE IN HARSCO CORPORATION’S ACQUISITION OF RAILROAD MAINTENANCE ASSETS Harsco to Divest Pandrol’s Switch and Crossing, and Transit Grinder Assets WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Department of Justice today announced that it would require Harsco Corporation to sell machinery and services used in railroad maintenance to resolve competitive concerns over Harsco’s $89 million acquisition certain of assets of Pandrol Jackson Inc. and Pandrol Jackson Limited. The Department said the deal, as originally proposed, would have been anticompetitive, resulting in higher prices and lower quality for these products and services. The Department's antitrust lawsuit and proposed consent decree were filed today in federal court in Washington, D.C. The consent decree, if approved by the Court, would resolve the suit. According to the complaint, the proposed merger would have substantially lessened competition, since Harsco and Pandrol are the only two manufacturers of switch and crossing and transit grinding equipment and the only two providers of railroad switch and crossing grinding services in North America. Switch and crossing grinders and transit grinders are machines designed to restore the tracks of railroads and transit systems to their original shapes and are used to repair deformations caused by the rubbing of train wheels on rails used in railroad track switches, railroad track crossings, and transit systems. “Without this divestiture, railroads and transit systems would have had only one choice for this type of railroad maintenance equipment and services,” said Joel I.

  • Containerized Grain Supply Chain in Western Canada: Opportunities and Regulatory Barriers
    Containerized Grain Supply Chain in Western Canada: Opportunities and Regulatory Barriers Dr. Barry E. Prentice Professor, Supply Chain Management I.H. Asper School of Business University of Manitoba Synopsis The containerization of grain is a growing trend internationally. Many western Canadian grain shippers would like to source-load containers on the Prairies, but most shippers are forced to trans-load at the ports after their grain arrives by other means. The problem is the Revenue Cap. This regulation creates a double disincentive that discourages the railways from moving grain in containers. In addition to the lost marketing opportunities for farmers, this regulatory barrier impedes the use of containers to serve as an elastic supply of storage and transport during demand surges. The removal of the Revenue Cap would encourage development of a contestable market based on a competitive containerized grain shipping supply chain to rival the bulk system, such that shippers could always receive the lowest cost means of reaching foreign destinations and the best customer service options. Introduction The most significant innovation in transportation during the past 50 years has been the introduction of containerization. Container shipping has grown rapidly because it reduces the cost of port handling, improves cargo security and permits the establishment of global supply chains. As the volume of world trade carried in containers has increased, ship size and port facilities have grown, creating a virtuous cycle of declining costs and expanding service. This productivity is matched on the land side by double-stacked container trains and drayage trucks that have made containerization the preferred global door-to-door logistical system domestically and internationally.

  • Developing Standards for New Technology Signal Systems for Rail Transit Applications
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 34, © 1998 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Developing standards for new technology signal systems for rail transit applications A. F. Rumsey Parsons Transportation, New York, U.S.A. Abstract Radio communications-based train control (CBTC) systems, also referred to as transmission-based signalling (TBS) systems, permit more effective utilization of rail transit infrastructure by allowing trains to operate safety at much closer headways, by permitting greater flexibility and greater precision in train control, and by providing continuous safe train separation assurance and overspeed protection. One of the challenges facing transit agencies who are considering the introduction of CBTC systems, however, is the lack of industry standards for this emerging technology, and the current inability of trains equipped with CBTC equipment from one supplier to operate on track equipped with CBTC equipment from a second supplier. This paper reports on the status of two separate initiatives being taken in North America to develop standards for CBTC systems for rail transit applications; one based on a voluntary consensus development approach, and the second based on a competitive procurement approach. 1 Background Conventional signalling and train control systems rely almost exclusively on track circuits to detect the presence of trains. Information on the status of the track ahead is provided to train operators either through wayside signals or trainborne cab signals. Ensuring compliance with the signals is achieved either through strict observance of operating procedures, or through automatic train protection features such as wayside electro-mechanical train stops, or trainborne supervisory equipment linked to the train's braking system.
