It seems to me, the train world really comes alive during the holidays to help us remember years gone by. So many of you volunteer your time to set up and run a layout at various locations, how amazing it is because you are touching the lives of so many in a positive and healthy way. Bravo! I would love to include YOUR story with the next e‐ blast that connects your family memories with the holiday season and the world of trains. I think it would be great to share these stories over the next several weeks leading up to the end of 2014! What did you say? You have pictures to go along with the story, well send them along to me and as long as they are family friendly I’ll share them with those that read the eblast. As a reminder, the eblasts and attachments will be placed on the WB&A website under the “About” tab for your viewing/sharing pleasure http://www.wbachapter.org/2014%20E‐ Blast%20Page.htm The attachments are contained in the one PDF attached to this email in an effort to streamline the sending of this email and to ensure the attachments are able to be received.

Such a move will destroy a historical rail corridor landmark and severely limit the railway in expanding its service.

  • Chapter 8 Rail
    Chapter 8 Rail A component of the SAFETEA-LU legislation is to improve interregional and international transportation and to serve the mobility needs of people and freight. New York State’s Transportation Master Plan’s vision is to create a seamless system in which travelers can conveniently shift between modes and operators to complete trips that meet their individual and business needs. Long-Range planning efforts in Herkimer and Oneida Counties are consistent with this vision in planning transportation systems that will serve the mobility needs of people and freight. Rail transportation is an efficient way to move freight and people while saving energy, reducing air pollution, relieving traffic congestion, and reducing maintenance and repair on the highway network. Rail service in the HOCTS Planning Area consists not only of long-distance, pass-through freight movement. There are also short lines that deliver goods to local industries, passenger service provided by Amtrak at stations in Utica and Rome and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The use and condition of the Utica and Rome stations, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and the implementation of high-speed rail are high priorities for the region. Recommendations made in this chapter include: the implementation of the Union Station Master Plan, elimination or correction of unsafe grade crossings, restoration of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, and support for high-speed passenger rail service. HOCTS 8 - 1 Chapter 8 Rail Destinations 2010 - 2030 2009 New York State Rail Plan The 2009 New York State Rail Plan presents a 20-year plan (through 2030) for the state's rail system and describes strategies and initiatives aimed at rebuilding the rail transportation system.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

See § 225.1. FRA needs this information to effectively carry out its regulatory and enforcement responsibilities under the Federal railroad safety statutes.2 FRA also uses this information for determining comparative trends of railroad safety and to develop hazard elimination and risk reduction programs that focus on preventing railroad injuries and accidents. 1 For brevity, further references in the Guide to sections in 49 CFR Part 225 will omit “49 CFR” and include only the section, e.g., § 225.9. 2 Title 49 U.S.C. chapters 51, 201–213. iv Table of Contents Executive Summary ........................................................................................................................ 1 1.

  • The House Will Come to Order. in the Absence of Clergy, Let Us Pause for a Moment of Silence
    TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2015 2:39 P.M. ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: The House will come to order. In the absence of clergy, let us pause for a moment of silence. (Whereupon, a moment of silence was observed.) Visitors are invited to join the members in the Pledge of Allegiance. (Whereupon, Acting Speaker Aubry led visitors and members in the Pledge of Allegiance.) A quorum being present, the Clerk will read the Journal of Monday, April 20th. Mr. Morelle MR. MORELLE: Yes, Mr. Speaker. I move to 1 NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 21, 2015 dispense with the further reading of the Journal of Monday, April 20th and ask that the same stand approved. ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: Without objection, so ordered. Mr. Morelle. MR. MORELLE: Yes. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker; good afternoon, colleagues. I hope everyone enjoyed a brief respite and are anxious to get back to work here and continue our work. Before I announce our schedule for the day, let me just note a couple of historical facts about this date, April 21st, in history. For instance, Mr. Speaker, colleagues, you might find interesting that on this day in 1789, one of our nation's Founding Fathers, John Adams, was sworn in at New York City's Federal Hall as our nation's first Vice President. After serving two terms, Mr. Adams went on to serve as the second President of the United States and continued to contribute to our nation's history as a statesman. On this date in 1965, the New York City World's Fair opened in New York for its second and final season.
