  • The Legendary Empire State Express History the 1890’S Were the Hay-Day of the American Railroad Industry
    The Legendary Empire State Express History The 1890’s were the hay-day of the American railroad industry. The aggressive spiderlike consolidations of the New York Central Railway by the industrial barons of the day, Erastus Corning and Cornelius Vanderbilt came under a cloud of negative public popularity. To change this image, the NYC embarked upon breaking the world train speed record just before the Chicago World Exposition in 1893. On May 10, 1893 on a run between Buffalo and Syracuse the specially designed train was the first vehicle to achieve over 100 miles per hour, reaching the unheard of speed of 112 miles per hour. The engine behind this record was the legendary 999 which was rebuilt and now is located at the Chicago Museum. The Collinwood Yards The Collinwood Yards are one of the principal repair facilities and freight transfer points of the New York Central railroad, originated in 1874 when it established a rail center in the village of Collinwood. A brick roundhouse was built to house and repair locomotives; nearby, a machine shop, housing an engine room, blacksmith shop, and an office was constructed with upstairs apartments for the use of the road's employees. The freight transfer yards were located on the south side of the main tracks, with extensive stock yards north of them. In 1874 at least 500 engineers, firemen, brakemen, conductors, and other employees made their headquarters near the yard to handle the 72 freight trains arriving daily. As the railroad grew, so did the village of Collinwood, with its population reaching about 3,200 by the 1890s.

  • Empire State Passengers Association (Espa) on the New York State Dept
    TESTIMONY FROM THE EMPIRE STATE PASSENGERS ASSOCIATION (ESPA) ON THE NEW YORK STATE DEPT. OF TRANSPORATION’S BUDGET JANUARY 23, 2021 Good Day, Finance Chair Krueger and Ways and Means Chair Weinstein, the Empire State Passengers Association (ESPA), New York State’s advocates on behalf of intercity rail passengers and Amtrak service in the state, thank you for the opportunity to testify on the budget of the New York State Department of Transportation. Today’s testimony will focus on the approximately $44 million in State funds requested to pay for Amtrak service in New York State and the need of an updated State rail program at New York State DOT. Since the passage of the federal Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA) and its subsequent reauthorization, states are required to pay the full subsidy cost of Amtrak routes shorter than 750 miles (Section 209). In New York State, that means that all Amtrak service north of New York City is funded by New York State, with the exception of the Lake Shore Limited, a long-distance train funded by Amtrak and federal operating subsidies that travels from New York City to Chicago through upstate New York. Operating Budget and Issues Subject to negotiations with Amtrak, New York State controls Amtrak service in the Empire State – this includes the amount of service offered, the frequency of service, the price of tickets, and the quantity and quality of on-board services and amenities.
