FOREWORD The Illinois Central Railroad Company will reach its one hundredth anniversary on February 10, 1951, but some parts of this transportation system had their beginnings in the early dawn of the railway era in America, its oldest lines dating from 1831 when there were fewer than one hundred miles of railroad in the New World. Because of its pioneering role in the settlement and indus- trialization of its territory, now embracing the economic heart of the North American Continent, the Illinois Central has long engaged the interest of students of transportation, coloniza- tion and economic development. To facilitate the work of researchers, students and writers seeking information relating to the railroad's history, the Bureau of Railway Economics of the Association of American Railroads has compiled this centennial bibliography of reports, documents, and other records, including significant articles scattered through railway and engineering journals, maga- zines and proceedings, dealing with the Illinois Central Rail- road Company itself and more than two hundred railway companies which were merged to form the system.

  • RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents
    2015 FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN December 2018 Table of Contents FLORIDA RAIL SYSTEM PLAN - 2018 UPDATE The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Freight and Multimodal Operations Office (FMO) present this 2018 update of the 2015 Florida Rail System Plan. As new challenges have had a great impact on the needs and future projects identified in the 2015 Rail System Plan, FDOT prepared this update. CHALLENGES • New State Rail Plan Guidance was created in 2013 to set a standard format and elaborate on required elements of the plan to include a 5-year update cycle, and a requirement for states seeking capital grants under Sections 301, 302, and 501. See https://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0511. Thereafter, FDOT prepared a 2015 Rail System Plan that was completed in December 2015. The Plan was not published at that time, as major industry changes were expected and no public outreach had yet been conducted. • Major industry changes occurred that impacted most of the rail mileage in Florida: o CSX hired Hunter Harrison in spring of 2017, and radically changed the company by imposing precision-scheduled railroading instead of a hub-and-spoke system. This approach has been continued by CSX leadership through 2018. o Grupo México Transportes (GMXT), the leading rail freight transportation company in Mexico, successfully completed the acquisition of Florida East Coast Railway in 2017. o Brightline began service in 2018 between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami later in the year, and with plans to connect to Orlando and potentially to Tampa in the future. APPROACH • The FAST Act (Title 49, Section 22702) passage in December 2015 changed the 5-year update cycle to a 4-year update cycle.

It is written starting from the northeastern terminus of the train in New York and proceeds to points south, ending in Tampa and Miami, depending upon route. If you boarded in Tampa or Miami, just read the guide in reverse, remembering to look in the opposite direction if referenced. AMTRAK STATIONS are shown in all capital letters, as opposed to upper and lower case for towns and geographical areas through which the train travels but does not stop. The Amtrak System Timetable or the Silver Service panel card should be consulted for actual station times. While all service presented in this guide was accurate at the time of publication, routes and services are subject to change. Please contact Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL, visit Amtrak.com, or call your travel agent for the most current information. Between the front door of America’s Eastern Seaboard, New York’s Pennsylvania Station and Amtrak’s famous Northeast Corridor, and the equally well-known delights of America’s most cosmopolitan melting pot, Miami, lies the fabled American South and its living history. From twinkling Northeast cityscapes to the South’s dreamy landscapes and Civil War battlefields – the Silver Meteor and Silver Star reveal America’s East Coast up close like no other mode of transportation. So prepare to be dazzled for 1,389 miles! [Today’s Silver Meteor is the lineal descendent of the train originally operated by the Seaboard Airline Railroad (SAL), which was placed in service in 1939.
