Clements, Board Member John S. Delaney, Board Member Deborah A. Green, Board Member Walter G. Rich, Board Member Matthew D. Sansverie, Inspector General, Metropolitan Transportation Authority Executive Summary afety is paramount in the State of New York. Whatever mode of rail transportation - commuter rail, light rail, freight rail or scenic rail - safety is the key to their efficiency and success. Based on the number of persons moved or the freight transported, New York State continues as a national leader in S the safe operation of passenger transit systems and freight railroads. The overall state of railroad safety has improved over recent years. To continue this trend, public grade cross- ing improvements, state safety oversight, enforcement of regulations and the promotion of public education must continue unabated. Aggressive enforcement of State and local laws is paramount if we expect this trend to continue. Approxi- mately 95% of all the rail related deaths are attributed to actions occurring at grade crossing or involving tres- passers. New York State is committed to a course of action that will preserve the overall safety for all facets of rail transportation for the betterment of our people.

Operating Railroads in New York State ew York State has the largest commuter and transit rail operations in the United States with rider- ship of over 1.3 billion passengers per year and an extra 1.3 million intercity passengers on seven railroads of varying classification. Also, there are 36 freight railroads in New York State that oper- N ate along 3,695 miles of track. According to the Association of American Railroads, freight rail- roads in New York State transported approximately 1.78 million carloads of goods that totaled nearly 74 mil- lion tons of freight during 2003. Additionally, there are six (6) tourist operations that carry an estimated 108,000 passengers over 104 miles of track annually. The New York State Department of Transportation’s Rail Safety Bureau’s mission is to reduce the number, rate and severity of rail accidents to help ensure the safety of the users and employees of New York State’s passenger and freight rail systems. To fulfill these responsibilities, the Rail Safety Bureau supports two criti- cal safety program areas; the Public Transportation Safety Board and Rail Safety Inspections Section. This 2004 Rail Safety Bureau Annual Report reviews the reported accidents and incidents which occurred on New York State’s freight, intercity passenger, commuter and transit railroads, as well as the safety inspections and investigations performed by the Bureau’s two program areas. A ten-year compilation of data including all facets of rail accidents and track and equipment inspections is provided in this report. A listing of all railroads operating in New York State under the jurisdiction of the Rail Safety Bureau appears on page 2. The New York State Public Transportation Safety Board (PTSB), created in 1984, provides safety oversight and investigation activities for all commuter and transit operations of the Metropolitan Transportation Author- ity (MTA), New Jersey Transit (NJT - New York State Operations) and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA). The activities are performed in a cooperative partnership with the Federal Transit Admini- stration (FTA). The New York State Rail Safety Inspection Program has been in existence since 1910. The program provides safety oversight for railroad freight carriers as well as intercity passenger rail (Amtrak) operations in New York State. Since the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970, the Rail Safety Inspection Program has worked in partnership with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

  • Benchmarking New York City's Municipal Building Portfolio
    California Energy Commssion DOCKETED 12-AB1103-1 TN # 68675 NOV 26 2012 Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION 2 ROLE OF BENCHMARKING IN CARBON REDUCTION STRATEGY 5 NYC GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS VS. NATIONAL AVERAGE 8 RESULTS BY BUILDING TYPE 12 RESULTS BY OPERATING AGENCY 21 CONCLUSION 22 TABLES AND FIGURES INDEX 23 APPENDICES 24 Executive Summary Benchmarking Effort Overview In 2009, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg signed the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan, a landmark legislation package that enacted a set of energy efficiency requirements for existing buildings in New York City. Local Law 84 requires facility owners of public buildings over 10,000 square feet and private buildings over 50,000 square feet to benchmark their energy use each year. Since 2009 the City has benchmarked 2,730 buildings including libraries, police stations, firehouses, schools, courthouses, health, community, and family centers, and government offices. The City performed this benchmarking using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool which is widely accepted as the industry standard for benchmarking. For eligible facilities Portfolio Manager rates energy performance on a scale of 1–100 enabling building managers to see how their facilities are performing relative to similar buildings nationwide. This report highlights the Portfolio Manager benchmarking results for libraries, fire stations, police stations, warehouses, medical offices, K-12 schools, courthouses and office buildings. These building types represent a variety of City departments’ facilities and provide a representative sample of municipal buildings. Collectively, these eight types make up more than 75% of the City’s building portfolio. Role of Benchmarking in Carbon Reduction Strategy This report provides the most comprehensive benchmark information possible on New York City government buildings which are 10,000 square feet or larger.

    PROTOTYPE RAILS 2020 Rev. 05 Mark Amfahr: The Surprisingly Fascinating Story of the UP’s First 20 Years. The late 1800’s were a surprisingly interesting time for the railroads. Join Union Pacific historian Mark Amfahr to learn about this fascinating era that few have researched. Imagine an era when gauge, couplers and airbrakes were not standardized. How did they operate railroads under such conditions? Come to the clinic and find out! Frank Angstead: Manufacturing the Intermountain Way. Intermountain Railway Company returns to Prototype Rails with the latest info on how they manufacture and import scale model trains. John Barry: Shake-N-Take: Santa Fe's BX-34 40-foot Single Door Boxcar. The Prototype Rails tradition of Shake-N-Take continues! The project for 2020 will be a quick and easy conversion of an IM Modified AAR 1937 10'6 box with a complete Duryea underframe and brake rigging from modified commercially available parts. The clinic and handout will provide historical prototype information as well as how to build the model. Parts will only be provided to the first 35 clinic registrants (25 pre-registered online and 10 who register in-person at Prototype Rails). Craig Bisgeier: Now What? What to Do With Your New 3D Printer. This clinic goes through how 3D printers work, what are the strong and weak points of different types of printers on the market, what’s best for modeling, lists good printers available at entry-level prices and tips on how to get the best out of your prints. This clinic is fresh and up to date as well, as there has been so many changes of late in the market that the emphasis has shifted from Filament-based printing to UV-sensitive liquid resin printing in just the last few months.

For more than two decades, the New York & Atlantic Railway (NYA) has kept businesses humming in Queens, Brooklyn, and throughout Long Island, knowing that our operations must always be safe and respectful of the community. Communities have recognized that NYA is an important part of the transportation infrastructure.

Our obligation is to safely deliver and pick up freight at over 80 businesses located along 270 miles of railroad track.
