Les principales difficultés identifiées relèvent de la circulation des trains, des gabarits, des infrastructures ferroviaires, des terminaux, de la gestion administrative et de l'organisation pratique, des passages aux frontières. Pour les surmonter, diverses recommandations sont formulées en conclusion du rapport qui consacre en outre certaines considérations spécifiques à la situation et aux perspectives de développement des transports combinés en Hongrie, Pologne et dans les Républiques tchèque et slovaque.

FR [258 R 5] En matière de transport de marchandises, la politique de libéralisation menée par la Communauté européenne a entraîné la prépondérance de la route, sans que soit pour autant réglés les problèmes d'harmonisation. Deux pays font exception en optant pour le rail : la Suisse et l'Autriche. Si les qualités du transport routier - souplesse, fiabilité, prix - sont indéniables, il est cependant nécessaire de mener une politique fondée sur la complémentarité des modes de transport, et plus précisement le transport combiné et la recherche technologique avec des programmes tels le Bimodal, le Commutor, le TGV frêt, l'autoroute ferroviaire, le Drive II et Prometheus. La dernière partie du rapport porte sur la politique et la gestion des entreprises publiques ferroviaires européennes : statuts, licences, accès aux infrastructures, résultats financiers, politique tarifaire et fiscal.

This document highlights many important events that have occurred in the evolution of railroad transportation in Michigan. This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current. Consequently, some 28 years later, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has updated the original document and is placing it on our website for all to access. As you journey through this history of railroading in Michigan, may you find the experience both entertaining and beneficial. MDOT is certainly proud of Michigan’s railroad heritage.

  • Increasing Capacity Utilization of Shuttle Trains in Intermodal Transport by Investing in Transshipment Technologies for Non- Cranable Semi-Trailers
    Proceedings of the 2016 Winter Simulation Conference T. M. K. Roeder, P. I. Frazier, R. Szechtman, E. Zhou, T. Huschka, and S. E. Chick, eds. INCREASING CAPACITY UTILIZATION OF SHUTTLE TRAINS IN INTERMODAL TRANSPORT BY INVESTING IN TRANSSHIPMENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR NON- CRANABLE SEMI-TRAILERS Ralf Elbert Daniel Reinhardt Chair of Management and Logistics Technische Universität Darmstadt Hochschulstraße 1 Darmstadt, D-64289 Darmstadt, GERMANY ABSTRACT For shuttle trains with a fixed transport capacity which are the dominant operating form in intermodal transport, increasing capacity utilization is of crucial importance due to the low marginal costs of transporting an additional loading unit. Hence, offering rail-based transport services for non-cranable semi-trailers can result in additional earnings for railway companies. However, these earnings have to compensate for the investment costs of the technology. Based on a dynamic investment calculation, this paper presents a simulation model to evaluate the economic profitability of transshipment technologies for non-cranable semi-trailers from the railway company’s perspective. The results depend on the capacity utilization risk faced by the railway company. In particular, if the railway company does not sell all the train capacity to freight forwarders or intermodal operators on a long-term basis, investing in technology for the transshipment of non-cranable semi-trailers can be economically profitable. 1 INTRODUCTION Freight volume is predicted to increase in the years to come and the majority of this growth is expected to even increase the road freight transport volume. According to forecasts the total road freight transport volume in the European Union will grow to 2442 billion ton kilometers (tkm) in 2030 which is an increase of 43% compared to 2005 (Rich and Hansen 2009).

  • Proper Car Placement in Trains
    Proper Car Placement in Trains Presented by DuPage Division Midwest Region NMRA . Presented at Badgerland Express Madison, Wisconsin JJam Introduction Some of you may wonder why it is important to know that cars can be placed in the wrong order in a train. And, why does this even matter on a model railroad? On a real railroad improper car placement can cause embarrassing situations such as this .............. (Picture a train wreck.) Proper car placement also insures the general safety of.... The merchandise being transported The safety of the train crews handling the cars and the train The safety of the community thru which these cars may move. Some of these rules can be utilized to make the operation of your models more prototypical. The last reason I can think of for knowing this valuable information is that you can use it to heckle another modeler about his operation. ("Do you know that that tank car is in the wrong place in that train?") How do you know how to properly place cars in a train? There are a whole bunch of rulebooks. charts and other documents that trainmen must be familiar with when switching and operating trains. Every railroad has a "Book of Rules" which is the basis of this information. Superceding the "Book of Rules" is the Time Table and Special Instructions which is specific to a certain portion of the railroad. This is superceded by the System and General Bulletins. The most specific information is found in the Train Messages which are issued with every work order. Here is the hierarchy triangle: SYSTEM AND GENERAL BULLETINS TIME TABLE AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL OPERATING RULES (BOOK) lets start with a few general rules to set the stage: Rule A Employees whose duties are governed by these rule must provide themselves with a copy of these rules...
