https://archive.org/details/pioneervalleyraiOOpion_0 INTRODUCING THE PIONEER VALLEY RAILROAD
The Pioneer Valley Railroad, based in Westfield, Massachusetts, links some of the most desirable industrial sites in New England with a competitive nationwide transportation system, deregulated in 1980. Over a thousand acres of industrial land are still available on two completely rehabilitated, professionally managed rail lines. Working in cooperation with long-haul operators, the Pioneer Valley Railroad (PVRR) provides competitive service five days a week and offers free consultant services to obtain the best possible service package at the lowest rate. Small shipments are welcome and off-line intermodal transfers can be accommodated at either end of the route.
This report, prepared by the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, outlines the benefits of locating a business in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts and taking advantage of economical shipping on the PVRR. The report includes a listing of 40 rail -served industrial sites and buildings in the four municipalities that make up the PVRR's primary service area. Information is provided for prospective Pioneer Valley firms as well as for those area firms considering increased use of rail.
The PVRR was created in 1982. Formerly part of the Conrail system, the short lines were taken over by the Pinsly Railroad Company of Boston, an established short line operator since 1938. The Pinsly Company has invested close to one million dollars in capital improvements to make the PVRR the success it is today.
The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) is the regional planning agency serving 43 municipalities in Hampshire and Hampden counties. The PVPC and its member communities maintain a strong local commitment to the rail freight alternative as an important element in the regional economy.

1. Deregulation Means Lower Rail Freight Prices
How can your company afford rail freight service? At last, the answer is easy: cost-based pricing. Since deregulation in 1980, railroads can write their own rates to compete in a changing market. Railroads are offering many new service features and pricing options that may surprise you. Short line service, once an add-on charge, is now a bargain for many users: surcharges have been eliminated . Your costs will' be less than you think, even for smaller shipments.
How is this possible? With deregulation, the long-haul railroads were able to disinvest in low volume branch lines, selling the best ones to experienced short line operators. The result: short lines with more responsive, on-site management, lower overhead, and greater sensitivity to the marketplace. And lower costs for the long-haul operators, which improved their net and let them concentrate on the long distance portion that they do best. It's a division of labor that works for the customer.
Ampad Corporation of Holyoke, Massachusetts illustrates the savings available to Pioneer Valley Railroad shippers. With one Holyoke plant on a Class I railroad (B&M) and a second on the PVRR, Ampad chose to locate its third multimillion dollar facility on the PVRR's Westfield line. By dedicating all future corporate growth to Westfield, Ampad reduced its monthly freight bill by thousands of dollars.

1 2. Deregulation and Intermodal Opportunities
DEREGULATION MEANS YOUR SHIPMENT GOES BY THE FASTEST MEANS AVAILABLE—AND MAY BE HAULED BY RAIL AND TRUCK IN NEW, EFFICIENT COMBINATIONS.
With deregulation, truck and rail carriers can work together, making intermodal ism the wave of the future. The Pioneer Valley Railroad now has 48-state motor carrier authority to bring your shipment by the
fastest method. . .even if your supplier has no rail siding. And with modified local haulage privileges, the PVRR can ship by truck up to 500 miles from the railhead. This means the opportunities for innovative transfers are nearly unlimited:
--tank car to tank truck --bulk transfer from covered hopper --boxcar to truck--once prohibited, now an economical choice for many shippers.
No longer restricted to piggyback service, intermodal shipping also brings new opportunities for nonmanufacturers:
--wholesalers --warehousers --institutional users
Even commercial and municipal trash haulage can be handled economically by short line rail. It pays to consider the rail alternative, even if you've never used rail before.
2 3 3. What Explains PVRR's Success?
Three main ingredients account for the Pioneer Valley Railroad's success: competition, commitment, and free consultant services.
Competition The Pioneer Valley Railroad maintains competitive Class I railroad connections with Conrail and the Boston & Maine (of the Guilford system). These competitive connections keep rates down to the benefit of industries on the PVRR lines. Another factor in PVRR's competitive position is five day a week service on the Westf ield-Holyoke line; three service days on the Easthampton line.
History Repeats Itself
The situation is reminiscent of the late 19th century, when the Holyoke mills launched their own rail line to escape the monopolistic rates of the Connecticut Valley Railroad. The new line, the Holyoke & Westfield, drove rates down and Holyoke industry flourished. Over the years, the operation of the Westf ield-Holyoke and Westf ield-Easthampton lines changed hands as rail companies merged or were sold, eventually resulting in quasi-public ownership by Conrail for several years and now returned to private operation through the Pioneer Valley Railroad.

strength & Commitment Since its inception in 1982, the PVRR has demonstrated its strong corporate and professional commitment to customers. Hundreds of thousands have been invested in track rehabilitation. In excess of $200,000 was spent to build a locomotive maintenance shop. The PVRR owns five locomotives and recently acquired two more to handle increased traffic. Staff has been increased from eleven to fifteen, augmented each summer with contract maintenance firms for track improvements at selected locations.
The Pinsly Company
The PVRR is operated by the Pinsly Railroad Company, founded in 1938 by Samuel M. Pinsly of Boston. In that year, Mr. Pinsly bought his first line, the Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington in Berkshire County of Massachusetts. He decided to see if he could turn the line around and make it profitable when the large carriers were unable to do so. Mr. Pinsly proved that it could be done, and the line was a success. Since 1977, under the guidance of Mr. Pinsly's daughter, M.P. Silver, the Pinsly Company has operated railroad companies in the eastern United States. Currently, they are the Claremont & Concord Railroad in New Hampshire, the Greenville & Northern in South Carolina and the Pioneer Valley Railroad. Although the PVRR is their newest line, the Pinsly Company considers it their flagship operation.
Free Consultant Services The third ingredient in the PVRR's success is free consultant services. According to the PVRR's General Manager, "Because we understand that it's in our interest to have our customers succeed. . .and garner a larger market share through lower freight costs, we provide free consultant services. If you show us your product flow, we'll do a cost analysis showing where we can save you money.
Free consultant services are just one indication of the professionalism the Pinsly Company brings to its short-line rail operations.
5 4. How to Purchase Freight Service from PVRR
It's easy to make arrangements for rail service with the PVRR. If you currently ship by truck, don't forget--there is always an opportunity to move your product or materials by rail. You'll find there are no special barriers to rail use. With the PVRR's public loading facility
available in Westfield, a rail siding is not necessary .
The PVRR will help you evaluate the rail option from the standpoint of cost and transit time. Your carrying costs and overall product flow will be carefully considered. If rail service is appropriate to your needs, the PVRR will structure a price and service package geared to your requirements. Since many rail customers place a premium on reliable scheduling, contracts can be structured to include guaranteed on-time delivery. This provision is made possible by the reliable performance of PVRR's connecting carriers. In recent years, Conrail for example is running at over 95 percent on-time on scheduled service.

5. Industrial Development Opportunities on the PVRR
The Pioneer Valley has an exceptionally large inventory of industrially zoned land suitable for development. Most available parcels have full utilities and are very close to the Interstates. Over 700 acres with rail access are available in Westfield alone. This means any new business locating in the region will have room to expand.
The region offers a strategic location at the crossroads of Interstates 90 and 91. One-third of the U.S. consumer market is within a day's drive. Major airline service is available at Bradley International Airport, a half hour's drive south in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Air services are also available at Barnes Airport in Westfield and at Westover in Chicopee.
The Pioneer Valley has a skilled labor force and outstanding educational resources. Homes are plentiful at below average prices in rural and suburban settings and in renovated downtown areas. Employees can live in the country and be just a few minutes from work, with abundant recreational opportunities in every direction.
Skills training programs, tax credits and other benefits are available to firms that locate in the Pioneer Valley. Each of the PVRR's anchor communities (Westfield, Holyoke and Easthampton) is favorable to development with agencies to serve you. They will work closely with the Governor's Office and the Massachusetts Department of Commerce and Development to answer your questions about doing business in Massachusetts. Ampad, Mobil Chemical, W.R. Grace and Graham Baycare Medical Products are just a few of the corporations now taking advantage of competitive locations on the Pioneer Valley Railroad lines.
