  • Chapter 4 – Passenger Rail Systems
    The Texas Department of Transportation anticipates issuing an amendment to this report in early 2014 to reflect recent CHAPTER FOUR – PASSENGER RAIL developments on important rail initiatives in the state. Chapter 4 – Passenger Rail Systems To improve the coordination of the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of a statewide passenger rail system in the State of Texas, S.B. 1382 (Section 201.6012- 6013, Transportation Code), an act passed by the 81st Texas Legislature and approved by the governor on June 19, 2009, requires TxDOT to prepare and update annually a long-term plan for a statewide passenger rail system. The plan must include the following information useful for the development of the vision, goals, and objectives for the passenger rail system for Texas: • A description of existing and proposed passenger rail systems; • Information regarding the status of passenger rail systems under construction; • An analysis of potential interconnectivity difficulties; • Ridership projections for proposed passenger rail projects; and • Ridership statistics for existing passenger systems. This chapter provides the information required by Section 201.6012-6013, Transportation Code, plus additional information pertinent to understanding the challenges, issues, and opportunities for developing passenger rail services in Texas. Passenger rail services are divided into six categories in this chapter and are defined as follows: • High-speed rail is defined as rail operating at speeds of at least 150 mph non- stop or with limited stops between cities. • Intercity passenger rail is defined as rail serving several cities operating at slower speeds than high speed over long-distances with more frequent stops. • Commuter and regional rail is defined as rail primarily serving work commuters between communities in an urban area or region.

  • History of Methodism in Texas
    : HISTORY OP Methodism in Texas. BY Eev. homer s. thrall, OF THE TEXAS CONFERENCE. HOUSTON E. H. CUSHING, PUBLISHER. 1872. .Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1872, by E. H. CUSHING, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. Lange, Little & Hillman, minters, electrotypers and stereottters, 108 to 114 Woostkb St., N. Y. INTRODUCTION. An unpretending volume is here offered to the reading public. While it details a few of the facts and incidents connected with the establishment of the Methodist Church in Texas, it hardly aspires to the dignity of a history. Other parties are preparing similar publications, and when they have all been given to the press, the future historian will have materials for a complete and connected history of Texas Methodism. This is sent forth in its present imperfect state, that errors may be corrected and omis- sions supplied. The author has obtained his information from persons who were actors in the scenes described; from journals of Quarterly and Annual Conferences ; from the printed "Min- utes," and from files of old newspapers, especially the Texas Christian Advocate and Houston Telegraph. Those who have attempted to obtain accurate statements of facts and dates, will appreciate the difficulty of our undertaking. In some instances a score of letters were written in vain to ascertain the date of one transaction. Though this is entitled "Methodism in Texas," the ! 4 INTRODUCTION. general Christian reader will find nothing offensively de- nominational. There is no glorification of Methodism, either in its doctrinal system or economic arrangements. Very little is said in praise of living men, and there is no fulsome adulation even of those deceased.

  • Passenger Rail Study FY 2020
    Request for Proposals Passenger Rail Study FY 2020 Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Raleigh, North Carolina May 6, 2019 1 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) Fayetteville-Raleigh Passenger Rail Study INTRODUCTION The Capital Area Metropolitan Area Planning Organization (CAMPO) is seeking a qualified consulting firm or individual to conduct a rail feasibility study to examine the viability of passenger rail service between the cities of Fayetteville and Raleigh, North Carolina through travel market demand across various trip types; the viability of using one of the two existing freight rail corridors; and general analysis of economic feasibility of providing passenger rail between these cities. Many of the rail corridors in the region have been studied in the last several years to identify a variety of safety and capacity improvements for both freight and passenger rail. As the region continues to grow the need to maximize the use of transportation corridors continues to expand. This study will be conducted, in partnership with the Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO), through fiscal year 2020 and will conclude by June 30, 2020. The Notice to Proceed is anticipated to be issued by July 8, 2019. LEAD AND SPONSORING AGENCIES The Capital Area MPO is tasked with providing a regional, comprehensive and cooperative planning process that serves as the basis for the expenditure of all federal transportation funds in the area. Under Section 134 of the Federal Highway Act of 1973, MPOs are required to prepare long range transportation plans for the planning area with a minimum of a 20-year planning horizon. The City of Raleigh, North Carolina serves as host of the Lead Planning Agency for the Capital Area MPO.

Letter from the Chairman | Strategic Plan FY2011 - FY2015 On May 1, 2011, Amtrak celebrated its 40th anniversary, which represents four decades of improvements to America’s passenger rail system. Our hard work is evi - denced by the ridership records we have been setting consistently in recent years, including this year, as we are on pace to reach the milestone of 30 million riders. These accomplishments have not come easily. Over the years, the men and women of Amtrak have worked through shifting national passenger rail policy and uncer - tain financial support, which have made it difficult to effectively plan for the future and implement fruitful changes.
