  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

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.

The show is Saturday, June 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Leon County Fairgrounds. Set-up is Friday, June 21, throughout the day. Excitement and momentum are high.

All club members are welcome to attend. BBMRA President Andy Zimmerman will lead a show discussion during the main meeting as well. The June 18 club meeting, which is the Tuesday before the show, will be devoted to last minute planning and preparations. Helping vendors unload and then pack up remains an important part of our activities plan and it is appreciated by many vendors. Sheldon Harrison is coordinating this activity again this year and we need participation from as many club members as possible. Sheldon will be arriving at 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, June 21, when most vendors will begin coming in. Some BBMRA members will be setting up club layouts or their vendor tables Friday morning and you may be asked to spare a few minutes to help early bird vendors.

  • Missouri Freight Plan
    Chapter 3 – Missouri Freight System Chapter 3 – Missouri Freight System KEY POINTS One of the key products of this Missouri State Freight Plan is a defined Missouri freight network. This is the first time Missouri has had a defined freight network. That is important for several reasons, chief among those: a proposed improvement project must be located on or adjacent to the defined freight network to be considered in the freight prioritization process. The top 100 freight generators in Missouri were identified based on truck activity. This information helped support the identification of the freight network and shaped the prioritization process. Freight and commodity flows underscore the role Missouri plays as a bridge state for the nation, as most freight travels through our state instead of starting or ending here. Introduction Missouri is at the freight crossroads of America. As the geographic and demographic center of population for the United States, Missouri is well positioned as the country’s freight nexus. Missouri’s freight system is a network of highway, rail, air, water, pipeline, intermodal facilities, and freight generators that together move goods and commodities. The freight system is how Missouri products like soybeans and aviation parts are transported around the world. An understanding of the key features of the Missouri Freight Network is integral to understanding the strategies and future goals outlined in this Missouri State Freight Plan. The freight system offers a range of service options. The best freight service for a particular shipment depends on the shipment weight, shipment value, the origin and destination, when the product is needed, security and safety, transportation costs, and customer needs.
