State of Indiana Amtrak Fact Sheet, Fiscal Year 2014 State of Indiana Indiana FY14 at a Glance The Beech Grove facility outside of Indianapolis employs over 500 and is used to maintain and overhaul many types of equipment for Amtrak and other agencies Over $20 million in Amtrak procurement 769 residents employed by Amtrak Total resident employee wages, over $52 million Over 33,000 Indiana residents are members of the Amtrak Guest Rewards frequent user program Amtrak-State partnership: Chicago-Indianapolis Hoosier State Amtrak Service & Ridership Amtrak operates three long-distance trains through Indiana: The Capitol Limited (daily Chicago-South Bend-Cleveland-Pittsburgh-Washington, D.C.) The Cardinal (tri-weekly Chicago-Indianapolis-Cincinnati-New York) The Lake Shore Limited (daily Chicago-South Bend-Cleveland-Buffalo-Boston/New York) Amtrak also operates, in partnership with the State of Indiana and communities along the route, one corridor train, the Hoosier State (four days per week Indianapolis-Lafayette-Chicago), which operates on the days that the Cardinal does not. Additionally, the Chicago-Detroit Wolverine serves Hammond- Whiting and Michigan City with three daily round trips. During FY14 Amtrak served the following Indiana locations: City Boardings + Alightings Connersville 690 Crawfordsville 5,748 Dyer 3,392 Elkhart 21,666 Hammond-Whiting 7,701 Indianapolis 33,033 Lafayette 23,609 Michigan City 3,994 Rensselaer 2,154 Amtrak Government Affairs: November 2014 South Bend 24,545 Waterloo 22,814 Total Indiana Station Usage: 149,346 (down 3.6% from FY13) Procurement/Contracts Amtrak spent $20,126,759 on goods and services in Indiana in FY14. Most of this amount was in the following locations: City Amount Beech Grove $ 1,011,980 East Chicago $ 3,258,810 Elkhart $ 2,038,200 Indianapolis $ 10,312,165 Michigan City $ 1,184,134 Employment At the end of FY14, Amtrak employed 769 Indiana residents. Total wages of Amtrak employees living in Indiana were $52,644,425 during FY14. PRIIA Section 209 The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-432) required, by October 2013, an equitable arrangement of cost sharing between Amtrak and state or public agency partners that provide funding for short-distance, intercity train services. Agreements were reached with all parties, including Indiana, by the deadline, and the services continued to run without interruption. Beech Grove Shops Amtrak’s principal heavy maintenance facility is located in Beech Grove, southeast of Indianapolis. Here, approximately 514 employees rebuild and overhaul Amtrak’s Superliner, Viewliner, Surfliner, Heritage, and Horizon car fleets. P32, P42, and F59 locomotives also are overhauled and rebuilt here for use across the Amtrak system, as is other equipment for Amtrak’s state partners and other passenger railroads. Amtrak performed heavy overhaul, periodic maintenance, repainting, and other upkeep on 275 pieces of equipment in FY14. This included contract work on behalf of Amtrak state partners and other passenger rail operators. The Beech Grove Shops supply components to other Amtrak facilities, including couplers, overhauled air conditioners, overhauled air brake valves, and about 300 other types of components unavailable elsewhere. 2 Indianapolis Distribution Center The Indianapolis Distribution Center (IDC) is Amtrak’s largest material and supply facility. Clean and modern, the IDC boasts 180,000 square feet of inside storage space. Using state-of-the-art technology, 16,000 stock-keeping-units (SKUs) are inventoried electronically to prevent issues innate to manual cataloging and to keep the stock instantaneously updated. The IDC is conveniently located less than a mile from the Beech Grove shops. It employs approximately 30 full- and part-time personnel. Material for all purposes, from coach seats to toilet paper and locomotive parts are distributed from the IDC to 31 Amtrak terminals nationwide. Station Improvements Rensselaer: A new depot/shelter was constructed by Amtrak and dedicated on August 21, 2013. It replaced a small shelter built by Amtrak around the time the previous Monon Railroad station was razed in 1981. A new, 550-foot, ADA-compliant concrete platform was finished in April 2011. Dyer: Amtrak completed construction of a new, ADA-compliant depot/shelter, platform, and parking lot in spring 2014. Local organizations in many cities along the route of the Cardinal and Hoosier State have “adopted” their stations and voluntarily tended to facility upkeep. Cities such as Dyer, Rensselaer, Lafayette, Crawfordsville and Connersville stand out as keepers of the rail gateway to their communities. This includes landscaping, painting, and general maintenance and beautification. Indiana Gateway As part of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program (HSIPR), Indiana was the recipient of a $71.4-million grant to alleviate congestion at the major rail junction at Porter. Multiple railroads meet here, including three Amtrak routes to Michigan and two Amtrak long-distance routes from Chicago to the east. Construction is now underway to make eight separate improvements along the congested railroad segment from Porter west to the Illinois state line. Seven of the improvements will be on track owned by Norfolk Southern and the eighth on Amtrak’s Michigan line at Porter. The work will include crossover tracks and related signal improvements, and additional sidings. 3 Pere Marquette Blue Water Wolverines TO MICHIGAN POINTS Hammond- Michigan South E lkhart Orland Whiting City Trail C reek Bend E lkhart Middlebury L agrange Fremont Town of P ines Lagrange Angola Porter Mishawaka Lake Shore Limited S aint J os eph La P orte G oshen S teuben C hesterton O G A IC H C O Hammond P ortage Kingsbury North Liberty CaWpaitkoarlu sa Topeka Ashley Hamilton T Gary Westville Lakeville Millersburg R ome C ity Valparaiso L a P orte Ligonier L ake Merrillville Walkerton Bremen Nappanee Kendallville Waterloo LimiteSdyracuse Wanatah Noble Albion Butler O C rown P oint Hamlet Plymouth Milford Avilla Auburn Dyer P orter C romwell D Leesburg De K alb C edar Lake Kouts La C rosse North Webster G arrett S tarke S aint Joe E L Hebron Bourbon E tna G reen O K os cius ko T Lowell Knox Mars hall Huntertown DeMotte North Judson C ulver C hurubusco O S chneider Argos Winona Lake Leo-C edarville T Wheatfield Monterey Mentone Warsaw Burket C olumbia C ity Woodburn Medaryville P ulas ki C laypool Allen Fair Oaks R ochester Whitley G ifford Akron Newton J as per Winamac Kewanna S ilver Lake S outh Whitley Fort Wayne New Haven Francesville Fulton Morocco Macy North Manchester Monroeville R ens s elaer Fulton Wabas h R oanoke Huntington Cardinal Monon R oyal C enter Denver R oann Ossian Brook Andrews Markle C as s Miami Wabash Lagro Kentland Huntington Decatur Wolcott Burnettsville Logansport Adams R emington P eru Mount E tna Wells Monticello Bluffton Monroe E arl P ark Yeoman Onward Warren C halmers Berne Fowler C arroll Walton Bunker Hill La Fontaine P oneto White Brookston G eneva C amden G alveston Van Buren B enton Delphi C onverse Marion Montpelier Boswell Oxford Battle G round Flora G rant Otterbein Kokomo G as C ity B lackford P ennville Bryant Ambia Burlington G reentown Howard J onesboro J ay P ortland West Lafayette L afayette R ussiaville Upland Hartford C ity Warren Dayton R ossville S harpsville Fairmount Tippecanoe Mulberry Michigantown Tipton Windfall C ity Dunkirk R edkey S hadeland E aton Williamsport Attica C linton Kempton Tipton R idgeville E lwood Alexandria Albany Frankfort Delaware Union C larks Hill Frankton S tate Line C ity New R ichmond Muncie C ity Kirklin Arcadia Yorktown Farmland Linden C olfax Madis on C ovington C icero Winchester Hillsboro Thorntown S heridan Anderson C hesterfield R andolph VeedersburgFountain Hamilton Hoosier StaBtoeone Middletown Blountsville Lynn C rawfords ville Lebanon Westfield Noblesville P errysville Mount S ummit Losantville Montgomery Advance C armel E conomy C ayuga New R oss Fishers P endleton C adiz Kingman Alamo Jamestown Zionsville New C astle Fortville Kennard Wayne Whitewater Newport Waveland Ladoga Meridian Hills Henry Hagerstown Brownsburg Marion Hancock G reensboro Vermillion Bloomingdale R oachdale C ambridge C ity P arke Indianapolis G reenfield R ichmond Montezuma R ockville Bainbridge Danville S peedway Knightstown Avon C arthage P utnam P lainfield Boston Mecca Beech R us h Hendricks Morristown C onners ville C linton G reencastle Liberty R osedale G rove R ushville S tilesville Mooresville S helby C arbon G reenwood G lenwood Fayette Union Harmony Brooklyn J ohns on Manilla Terre C loverdale Whiteland Cardi Laurel Brazil Morgan nal I West Terre Haute Haute Milroy Franklin T Franklin Shelbyville A Martinsville C enter P oint Trafalgar Brookville N Vigo C lay S aint P aul N P aragon E dinburgh C edar G rove I R iley G osport P rinces Lakes Milford Greensburg C N Hope S aint Leon I S pencer S tinesville Decatur Oldenburg Taylorsville Batesville C Farmersburg Owen B rown C lay C ity E llettsville B artholomew Hartsville S unman O Nashville Napoleon T S helburn Hymera Bloomington C olumbus Westport Jasonville Milan S ullivan Worthington Monroe E lizabethtown Osgood Lawrenceburg Merom Versailles Dugger G reene J ennings Aurora Linton J onesville Holton Dearborn S ullivan North Vernon Dillsboro Lyons Bloomfield S eymour R ipley C arlisle Kurtz Ohio J acks on Vernon Newberry C ross P lains R ising S un E lnora Oolitic Heltonville Oaktown Dupont Odon Brownstown C anaan S witzerland P atriot P lainville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.

  • INDOT – INDIANA STATE RAIL PLAN Passenger Rail User Group Interview Questions
    INDOT – INDIANA STATE RAIL PLAN Passenger Rail User Group Interview Questions GENERAL INFORMATION Date of Interview: October 16, 2020 Subject Name: Indiana Passenger Rail Alliance Location: Indianapolis (Interview via webex) Subject Representative: Steven Coxhead, President QUESTIONS 1. What does your organization do? How many employees and/or members does your organization have? We’re a volunteer nonprofit organization. We reach about 1,800 people through our publications. Our mission is to persuade the state to embrace passenger rail, and expand passenger rail travel options, including city to city, intrastate, commuter, and transit services. Our focus is on promoting corridors using conventional technology with travel speeds of 80 to 100 miles per hour. That’s an easier lift, technologically and financially, than establishing bullet train-type high speed rail services. Our goal is to encourage the state to support and establish modern passenger rail systems similar to those found in other parts of the United States. Our initial focus is on reinstating the Hoosier State corridor between Indianapolis and Chicago. We don’t get involved in political campaigns. We like to publicize what’s possible and what’s happening, and get support for public policy initiatives. 2. What makes people in Indiana decide to take a passenger train instead of driving or taking a bus or something else? What conditions would be necessary to convert more trips to passenger rail trips? Highway volumes continue to grow on I-65. Whenever new lanes are added, they fill up and congest immediately. Truck traffic is heavy on I-65. The traffic continues to grow and create constraints and inconveniences for drivers.

  • Amtrak: Overview
    Amtrak: Overview David Randall Peterman Analyst in Transportation Policy September 28, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44973 Amtrak: Overview Summary Amtrak is the nation’s primary provider of intercity passenger rail service. It was created by Congress in 1970 to preserve some level of intercity passenger rail service while enabling private rail companies to exit the money-losing passenger rail business. It is a quasi-governmental entity, a corporation whose stock is almost entirely owned by the federal government. It runs a deficit each year, and relies on congressional appropriations to continue operations. Amtrak was last authorized in the Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act of 2015 (Title XI of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST Act; P.L. 114-94). That authorization expires at the end of FY2020. Amtrak’s annual appropriations do not rely on separate authorization legislation, but authorization legislation does allow Congress to set multiyear Amtrak funding goals and federal intercity passenger rail policies. Since Amtrak’s inception, Congress has been divided on the question of whether it should even exist. Amtrak is regularly criticized for failing to cover its costs. The need for federal financial support is often cited as evidence that passenger rail service is not financially viable, or that Amtrak should yield to private companies that would find ways to provide rail service profitably. Yet it is not clear that a private company could perform the same range of activities better than Amtrak does. Indeed, Amtrak was created because private-sector railroad companies in the United States lost money for decades operating intercity passenger rail service and wished to be relieved of the obligation to do so.

  • History of Linden Depot Genealogical Society of Montgomery County Crawfordsville Library – March 13, 2018
    History of Linden Depot Genealogical Society of Montgomery County Crawfordsville Library – March 13, 2018 Introduction I realize that I probably do not appear to fit the profile of one who is interested in trains. However, I have always had a love of and a connection to trains. Before she got married, my Grandmother worked as a clerk for the “B&O Railroad” in Baltimore. Later, the train ran behind my Grandparents’ house; when I was a young child, I remember waving to the engineer as the train passed by and he would blow the whistle for me. My grandfather rode that train when he traveled from Baltimore to New York on business, and when I was visiting their house, he would sit on the side of the train where I could see him at the window and he would wave to me as he passed by. Page 1 of 50 I was raised in Ellicott City, Maryland, the site of the oldest surviving train station in the United States and one of the oldest in the world. The town of Ellicott City, which was originally known as Ellicott Mills, is 13 miles west of Baltimore. Ellicott City Station was originally built to serve the horse- drawn “railroad” cars that traveled to and from the Baltimore Harbor. The original wooden rails were eventually replaced with durable iron rails. The station still stands and is now a branch of the B&O Railroad Museum. Page 2 of 50 My name is Elizabeth Carroll Hendrickson; I am a direct descendent of Mary Clare Carroll, the sister of Charles Carroll, Barrister.
