  • Relative Train Length and the Infrastructure Required to Mitigate Delays from Operating Combinations of Normal and Over-Length F

IMechE 2018 Article reuse guidelines: infrastructure required to mitigate sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0954409718809204 delays from operating combinations journals.sagepub.com/home/pif of normal and over-length freight trains on single-track railway lines in North America C Tyler Dick , Ivan Atanassov, F Bradford Kippen III and Darkhan Mussanov Abstract Distributed power locomotives have facilitated longer heavy-haul freight trains that improve the efficiency of railway operations. In North America, where the majority of mainlines are single track, the potential operational and economic advantages of long trains are limited by the inadequate length of many existing passing sidings (passing loops). To alleviate the challenge of operating trains that exceed the length of passing sidings, railways preserve the mainline capacity by extending passing sidings. However, industry practitioners rarely optimize the extent of infrastructure investment for the volume of over-length train traffic on a particular route. This paper investigates how different combinations of normal and over-length trains, and their relative lengths, relate to the number of siding extensions necessary to mitigate the delay performance of over-length train operation on a single-track rail corridor. The experiments used Rail Traffic Controller simulation software to determine train delay for various combinations of short and long train lengths under different directional distributions of a given daily railcar throughput volume. Simulation results suggest a relationship between the ratio of train lengths and the infrastructure expansion required to eliminate the delay introduced by operating over- length trains on the initial route.

  • Capitol Corridor Service Performance
    CAPITOL CORRIDOR SERVICE PERFORMANCE In July 2016, the Capitol Corridor had one of its best months in the history of the service. Ridership was the highest ever, with a total of 128,655 passengers, a 1.7% year‐over‐year (YOY) increase. Revenue was up 4.6% compared to July 2015. Compared to June 2016, On‐ Time Performance (OTP) slipped slightly from 96% to 95%, yet was still above the FY16 standard of 90%. The Year‐To‐Date (YTD) results continue to be in positive territory. Compared to FY15, FYTD16 ridership and revenue are up 5.5%, with the System Operating Ratio at 55%, five percentage points above the 50% standard. YTD OTP is 94%, which keeps the Capitol Corridor in the #1 spot for service reliability in the national Amtrak intercity passenger rail network. The FYTD16 customer satisfaction scores (through June 2016) are at 89% “Highly Satisfied”, one point above the FY16 standard of 88%. The following are ridership highlights for July 2016: Average weekend ridership for July was down 7% versus July 2015. To address these continued decreases in weekend ridership, the CCJPA is modifying the weekend/holiday train schedule effective August 22, 2016, to slot trains at times that align with typical weekend travel patterns. Average July weekday ridership yielded a 9% increase thanks to continued growth on the trains serving San Jose/Silicon Valley and Placer County stations. Amtrak has sent detailed performance results (see attached) for June 2016 and provided below is a summary of the attached tables: OTP: June 2016 system end‐point OTP was a stellar 96% compared to 93% for May 2016.

  • Capitol Corridor Performance Report
    Capito l Co rr idor Performance Rep ort THE CAPITO L CORRIDO R JOIN T POWER S AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fiscal Year 2009 was a year of mixed results for the Capitol Corridor. The challenging economic climate affected all sectors of the travel and transportation industry, including intercity passenger rail. Although our performance in FY 2009 was not as strong as FY 2008 – when high gas prices and a stronger economy drove record ridership – we continued the positive growth trend from FY 2007 and years past, and reinforced our record of prudently managing public funds to deliver a high- quality passenger rail service. In FY 2009: • Overall ridership fell 5.5%, revenue was flat, and our revenue-to-cost ratio fell to 47% primarily due to increased labor expenses and revenues that were below projections. • On-time performance reached an all-time high of 93% thanks to our capitalized maintenance program (now unfunded) and improved Union Pacific Railroad dispatching. This makes the Capitol Corridor the most reliable multi-frequency train service in the Amtrak national system. • Customer satisfaction scores continued to improve, despite poor economic conditions and extensive job losses. Over the past 11 years under CCJPA management, the Capitol Corridor’s service frequency has quadrupled, ridership and revenue have more than tripled, and our revenue-to-cost ratio improved by 56%. The CCJPA achieved these gains with very modest increases in State subsidy by constantly improving efficiency and reinvesting cost savings and revenues back into the service. Although ridership declined due to the slow economy we have continued to improve our service delivery, reliability, and customer satisfaction, which consistently tops the rankings of all Amtrak-operated services.
