  • ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives
    ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives Michelle Bergin, GA Environmental Protection Division Matthew Harrell, IL Environmental Protection Agency Mark Janssen, Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium Acknowledgments: Steve Sullivan, American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association David Powell, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. Dennis McGeen, Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality Lisa Higgins, Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection Laurel Driver, US EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Support Byeong Kim, GA Environmental Protection Division Introduction Air protection agencies from twenty-seven states, coordinated through the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee (ERTAC) and headed by the Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO), identified a need to better quantify and characterize rail-related emissions inventories. Traditional locomotives utilize large diesel engines, resulting in emissions of NO x, diesel PM, hydrocarbons, greenhouse gases, and other air pollutants. These emissions are sometimes concentrated in areas exceeding National Ambient Air Quality Standards. No cohesive nationwide railroad emission estimates based on local operations are known to have been made previously. Inventory development methods for locomotive emissions estimates vary from state to state and, in general, lack the spatial or temporal resolution needed to support air quality modeling and planning 1-5. The ERTAC Rail Subcommittee (ERTAC Rail) was established with active representatives from twelve member states, three regional planning offices, and the US EPA. The subcommittee’s goals are to (1) standardize agencies’ inventory development methods through a collaborative effort, (2) improve the quality of data received and the resulting emission inventories, and (3) reduce the administrative burden on railroad companies of providing data.

  • Proposal for Operator of Rail Service from Progressive Rail
    January 4, 2018 Proposal for Operator of Rail Service Mr. Luis Pavel Mendez Deputy Director Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission 1523 Pacific Avenue Santa Cruz, CA 95060-3911 Dear Mr. Mendez, Progressive Rail Incorporated (“PGR”) is pleased to submit a Proposal for Operator of Rail Service in accordance with the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (“SCCRTC”) Request For Proposals (“RFP”) dated December 8, 2017. Please accept this letter as our Transmittal Letter and the enclosed booklet (“Booklet”) as a detailed supplement of information that summarizes our vision and service plan for the Santa Cruz Branch Line. In preparation for this submittal, we have performed the following activities: • An onsite inspection of the entire 32 miles of rail; • An onsite inspection of all the bridges on the Branch Line with the assistance of A.R.E., an Irvine-based railroad bridge engineering firm; • An onsite inspection of all the railroad crossings with a goal to work with the municipalities to evaluate Locomotive Horn Signal Quiet Zones from Grove Lane Crossing in Capitola to Swift Avenue in Santa Cruz; • A meeting with the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk management to explore partnerships for passenger excursions; • A meeting with Ms. Christina Watson of the Transit Authority for Monterrey County to understand their plans and progress in developing a fast rail corridor to Salinas and how the Santa Cruz Branch Line might benefit from their experiences and ongoing efforts; • Meetings with potential freight customers in Watsonville; • Engaging PGR’s existing customers within its six-state network that would consider locating on the Santa Cruz Branch Line; • Given that PGR is already a major handling carrier for Union Pacific, meeting with representatives to advise them of our aspirations to become the Operator of the Branch Line; and • Retaining two rail advisors, one of whom is very familiar with the Branch Line operations, to meet with train manufacturers to explore environmentally friendly and California-compliant locomotives and train sets.

  • Appendix A- ASSETS and FREIGHT FLOW TECHNICAL MEMO
    Appendix A: Assets and Freight Flow Technical Memo Appendix A- ASSETS AND FREIGHT FLOW TECHNICAL MEMO Missouri State Freight Plan | Appendix A | Page 1 Appendix A: Assets and Freight Flow Technical Memo Assets and Freight Flow This technical memorandum provides an inventory of the existing freight assets and freight flows. The inventory includes all modes of freight transportation; highway, rail, air, water, and pipeline. It also includes an inventory of intermodal facilities where the different modes interact to exchange freight and the freight generators located within Missouri. For each of the modes of transportation a discussion of freight flows and forecasts is provided. Introduction Freight movement provides many economic benefits to the State through the shipment of parts to support production done in Missouri by Missouri workers, as well as, through the shipment of finished products moved both into and out of the State. The economic vitality of the State relies on transportation of goods into, out of, within, and to a lesser extent through Missouri to support jobs and growth throughout the State. The production and transporting goods are key elements to the economic vitality of Missouri. The top ten occupations in Missouri for 2012 are shown in Table A-1. Two key occupations (Production and Transportation) are listed for 2012. Production is at number four with 188,170 employees and Transportation at number six with 176,490 employees.
