  • Dayton, Ohio Invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging
    Published by the Electric Traction Committee, Edmonton Trolley Coalition Edited by Retired Employees of the Edmonton Transit Service VOL. 36 Adopting Tomorrow’s Technology Today: Dayton, Ohio invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging After lengthy testing, the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA) is buying 26 NexGen Electric Trolleys and will put the first production model in service by 2019. The RTA Board authorized spending up to $57.4 million for the 26 vehicles and parts, plus 15 more NexGen Trolleys that will be bought once federal funding is in place, Executive Director Mark Donaghy told reporters. It is the largest bus contract in RTA history. The NexGen Electric Trolleybus bus costs 63 percent more than a standard diesel transit bus, but has a 20-year, 800,000 mile life compared to the diesel’s 12-year, 500,000 mile life, Donaghy said. Electric trolleys are cheaper to operate, better for the environment and quieter than a diesel bus, he explained. “Using electric instead of diesel buses is a step towards a clean air environment for Dayton,” said Peggy Ann Berry, an occupational safety and health professional and Climate Reality Project leader in Dayton. “Diesel buses release dirty fossil fuel emissions into the environment. These emissions exacerbate asthma attacks as well as add to the cardiac burden of older adults.” RTA is now finalizing the cost of the NexGen after making several modifications to the prototype. The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is picking up 80 percent of the cost, and the rest comes from the local sales tax and rider fares.

    Canadian Rail i No. 288 January 1976 I -- -----1l. ElN THE Sl1B Hal Riegger Photos by the Author. round here, they all say that the last train to run over that track was the "National Dream". And, in -R a way, they're right, although the "National Dream" was not a train , but the title of Pierre Berton's novel about the history of an idea that resulted in Canada's first transcontinental railway, known, for simplicity's sake, as the CPR. For ninety years, Canadian Pacific Railway has been in the minds of Canadians and others, and especially in 1974, when a television series, based onMr. Berton's two volumes on the construction of the CPR was- shown in eight installments on television in Canada. People around Penticton, British Columbia and the Carmi Subdivision of the Kootenay Division were and are particularly conscious - and proud, for it was a mere 50 miles away from their town that filming of some of the most spectacular country was done for the television series. Ex-Canadian Pacific steam locomotive Number 136, a 4-4-0, lea­ sed from Ontario Rail Association of Brampton, Ontario and fitted with a mushroom stack for the occasion, with a boxcar, baggage car and coach of early vintage, was brought all the way out west, via Crowsnest Pass, along CP RAIL's tracks in southern British Columbia. This was during the summer of 1973. THE MOST APPROPRIATE EXPLANATION OF THIS MONTH'S PECULIAR COVER LIES in the brief note which accompanied it: "This picture, which may in- terest you, was taken on June 30, 1974 at Crowsnest, B.C.

  • Valley Line West LRT Project
    City of Edmonton LRT Expansion and Renewal 19th Floor, MNP Tower Integrated Infrastructure Services 10235 - 101 Street Edmonton, AB T5J 3G1 Bulletin March 4, 2021 City of Edmonton - Valley Line West LRT Project The City of Edmonton has shortlisted three participants in its procurement for 40 light rail vehicles (LRVs) for the Valley Line West LRT project. The City’s Request for Qualifications (RFQ Sourcing Event 2709919135) closed on Feb. 4, 2021. The City received eight submissions which were carefully reviewed by an evaluation committee, shortlisting the following three participants: ● Construcciones Y Auxiliar De Ferrocarriles, S.A. (CAF Group) ● Hyundai Rotem Company ● Siemens Mobility Ltd. The shortlisted participants will be invited to take part in the next stage of the procurement process, which is expected to conclude with the selection of a successful bidder by the end of 2021. The 27-km Valley Line is the City of Edmonton’s largest LRT investment to date, providing continuous transit operations between Mill Woods in the city’s southeast through Downtown to Lewis Farms in west Edmonton. The project is being delivered in two stages: ● Stage One: The 13-km Valley Line Southeast, from Mill Woods to Downtown Edmonton. It is currently under construction and is being delivered as a Public-Private-Partnership. ● Stage Two: Valley Line West, a 14-kilometre LRT extension from Downtown to Lewis Farms, with terminus at Lewis Farms Transit Centre. Following the conclusion of its procurement process, the City selected Marigold Infrastructure Partners for the design-build-finance contract. Construction begins in 2021. The LRVs will provide bidirectional, articulated, low-floor service that is compatible with both stages of the Valley Line, ensuring a seamless rider experience.
