  • THE BC RAIL STORY Part VI

Ex-BC RAIL DASH 8- 40CM(u) 4615 which was purchased new from GE in 1990 has been at CADRAIL-Lachine for several months and included in the work to be done was an upgrade, and a complete CN repaint with BCOL sub-lettering under the cab number. She was moved from CADRAIL in Lachine to CN’s Pte-St. Charles Yard for testing, and In a light power move N SBK05 17 departed CN’s Pte-St. Charles Oct 17th with CN 4774 and BCOL 4615 and hours later arrived at CN-Taschereau Yard. Freshly painted CN (BCOL) 4615 was ready to head out the next day, and arrived in Toronto-Mac Yard on October 18th (Dave Parker photo), and on October 22nd she was a trailing unit on Westbound CN Train #853 at Dauphin, MB. http://railfan.thegrebs.com/CN/CN_BCR_4615_Toronto_ON_Oct_18_08_Dave_Parker http://www.myrailfan.com/collection/CN/BCOL_4615/BCOL_4615_CAD_1.jpg (Jan.2008, before new paint) CN has ordered another 25 SD70M-2’s which are to be numbered from 8850 to 8874. These will be similar in appearance to the previous order, but will have a few internal improvements. The CN’s 8800-series are equipped with an Automatic Start when the pressure is down to 105 lbs, and these locomotives start up with an “air starter” (which is similar to the MLW-built M630’s).

    AMTRAK William J. Flynn 1 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001 Chief Executive Officer Email [email protected] Tel 202-906-3963 June 28, 2021 The Honorable Peter DeFazio The Honorable Sam Graves Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves: I am writing to express Amtrak’s concerns about reports that the House may include in the INVEST in America Act an amendment that would create a “North Atlantic Rail Compact” (NARC) with an ostensible charge to construct an ill-defined “North Atlantic Rail Network.” Amtrak is strongly opposed to the adoption of this amendment and the likely negative consequences of such a decision for the Northeast Corridor and the national rail network. Adopting the amendment would establish – without any hearings, committee consideration, studies or opportunity for those impacted by the proposal to be heard – support for an infeasible proposal, previously rejected because of the harm it would do to the environment, by an advocacy group called North Atlantic Rail (NAR) to build a new, up to 225 mph dedicated high-speed rail line between New York City and Boston. The dedicated high-speed rail line’s route (NAR Alignment) would not follow the existing Northeast Corridor (NEC) alignment that parallels Interstate 95. Instead, it would travel beneath the East River in a new tunnel; cross dense urban sections of Queens and Long Island to Ronkonkoma; turn north to Port Jefferson; traverse the Long Island Sound in a 16-mile tunnel to Stratford, Connecticut; and after passing through New Haven and Hartford, turn east across Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island to Providence, from which it would follow the existing NEC rail corridor to Boston.

    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.

    ~~,. ~l1n:~;~'i..~i1W;!!l""'" 15-:' ~ospitality 1 ~IS 0 OSPITALITY finds its true meaning in Syracuse. For many years Syracuse has been world famous for III) the manner in which it has entertained its guests. In Syracuse a guest immediately feels that its people are taking him into their hearts to make sure that his stay is both pleasant and profitable. Syracuse has had much experience in handling large crowds. For many years it has been the home of the great New York State Fair, one of the .greatest expositions of its kind in America. Such conventions as the World's Dairy Congress, the American Foundrymen's Association, State Democratic, the Elks, Knights of Columbus, ete., have proven Syracuse's ability to care for meetings of major im- portance. For smaller meetings, the fact that many organizations return to Syracuse year after year, without solicitation, is the best evidence of the wonderful treatment which has been accorded them by Syracuse business men and hotels. Syracuse has a regularly organized Convention Bureau as a division of the Chamber of Commerce, which is avail- able at all times to assist convention organizations in f" making arrangements and to see that their needs are promptly supplied. Any data on Syracuse's convention facilities can be readily obtained by writing to this organization. Bon'Vention. ~otels HE hotels of Syracuse are particularly well equipped and qualified to handle conventions. They have been hosts to conventions for many years and experience has shown them the way to care properly for any type of convention meeting.
