    2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida

    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 2.0 Current Freight Rail System and Services in Florida 2.1 Overview The Florida rail system is comprised of 2,786 miles of mainline track, which are owned by 15 operating line-haul railroads and terminal or switching companies, as well as 81 miles owned by the State of Florida. Florida’s rail system includes 2 Class I Railroads (CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Corporation), 1 Class II (Florida East Coast Railway), 11 Class III (Alabama and Gulf Coast Railway AN Railway, Bay Line Railroad, First Coast Railroad, Florida West Coast Railroad, Florida Central Railroad, Florida Midland Railroad, Florida Northern Railroad, Georgia and Florida Railway, Seminole Gulf Railway, and South Central Florida Express) and 1 railroad specializing in switching and terminals (Talleyrand Terminal).9 The largest operator in the State is CSX Transportation, which owns more than 53 percent of the statewide track mileage. In 2008, Florida’s railroads carried nearly 1.6 million carloads – 19 percent less than in 2006 – and approximately 83 million tons of freight, representing a 25 million ton (23 percent) decrease from 2006.10 During that year, railroads handled freight equivalent to roughly 5.0 million heavy trucks.11 Nonetheless, railroads continue to support thousands of jobs throughout the State and assist Florida’s industries to remain competitive with international and domestic markets for fertilizer, construction rock, consumer goods, paper products, processed 9 U.S. Class I Railroads are line-haul freight railroads with 2007 operating revenue in excess of $359.6 million (2006 operating revenues exceeding $346.7 million).

BNSF Railway (BNSF) has been actively reviewing the data generated under waiver FRA-2018-0049 since the beginning of the BHE waiver program in August of 2018. BNSF can report that during the waiver period, we have effectively tested more than 5,500 trains under the waiver. The cold and hot wheels (BNSF tracks by brake valve) have resulted in over 12,000 Automatic Single Car Tests (ASCT) being performed by carmen from BNSF & TTX. Over 7000 of those tests have been performed by carmen using the industry preferred “4 Pressure” test variety adding to additional brake systems components being replaced. This has driven the overall brake health improvement of trains and cars under the waiver. This testing has led to the removal of thousands of components of which the top 8 are listed below (from car repair billing records): BNSF BHE PROGRAM COMPONENTS REPLACED • 2934 Service Valves • 2118 Emergency Valves • 1105 Air Hose Supports Complete • 906 Retainer Valves • 853 Pipe Fitting Gaskets or Brackets • 617 Vent Valve / Vent Protectors • 521 Truck Brake Cylinder Hoses • 513 Empty Load Devices This current test waiver has been extremely successful in improving the braking performance of intermodal and grain cars with fewer than 5% of those cars being tested “repeating” for a cold wheel indication during the following 30-day period.

    CS/HB 489 Railroad Police Officers SPONSOR(S): Criminal Justice Subcommittee; Stone and Others TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM

    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: CS/HB 489 Railroad Police Officers SPONSOR(S): Criminal Justice Subcommittee; Stone and others TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Criminal Justice Subcommittee 11 Y, 0 N, As Cunningham Cunningham CS 2) Justice Appropriations Subcommittee 13 Y, 0 N McAuliffe Jones Darity 3) Judiciary Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) establishes uniform minimum standards for the employment and training of law enforcement officers (LEOs). Currently, CJSTC certifies a person for employment as an LEO if: The person complies with s. 943.13(1)-(10), F.S.; and The employing agency complies with s. 943.133(2) and (3), F.S. Section 943.10, F.S., defines the term “law enforcement officer” to include only those elected, appointed, or employed full time by any municipality, the state, or any political subdivision of the state. Similarly, the definition of the term “employing agency” only includes agencies or units of government, municipalities, the state, or any political subdivision of the state that has the authority to employ officers. Section 354.01, F.S., authorizes the Governor to appoint “special officers,” which are persons employed by railroads for the protection of the railroad’s employees, passengers, freight, equipment, and properties. Special officers are required to meet the law enforcement qualifications and training requirements of s. 943.13(1)-(10), F.S., but they are not certified law enforcement officers because they do not work for an “employing agency.” Railroads and common carriers that employ special officers are not considered employing agencies because they are not governmental entities.
