  • Attachment a Statement of Work RFQ Number: 6100041691 OVERVIEW: the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (Penndot) Is Respo
    Attachment A Statement of Work RFQ Number: 6100041691 OVERVIEW: The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is responsible for the operating costs for the Amtrak Keystone and Pennsylvanian passenger rail services. The Keystone Service provides frequent higher speed passenger train service along the Amtrak part owned Keystone Corridor between the Harrisburg Transportation Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. Some trains continue on the Northeast Corridor and terminate at Pennsylvania Station in New York, and the Pennsylvanian runs between New York and Pittsburgh with stops in between. PennDOT aims to increase ridership on these services as increased revenue offsets the state subsidy for the rail services, which is estimated to be $14.9 million in the 2017 Federal fiscal year. In 2012, PennDOT and Amtrak partnered on PA Trips By Train (www.patripsbytrain.com), an initiative spotlighting events and destinations in communities along the service routes. PennDOT is shifting the campaign’s focus from excursion travelers to commuter travel (Keystone) with the goal of gaining more riders. BACKGROUND NEEDED TO COMPLETE WORK PLAN: In 2014, Amtrak conducted surveys of 402 Keystone customers and 400 Pennsylvanian customers. PennDOT is advising interested vendors to obtain the results of those surveys to better understand the project. Information from those surveys, including gender, age, income, and more is available only by executing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Amtrak. Interested contractors must fully complete and sign Attachment E, Amtrak Market Research Data Nondisclosure. The completed hard copy with an original ink signature must be submitted to Amtrak. Interested vendors wishing to have an original returned must submit two signed copies.

  • Time to Change!
    Time to Change! “Railway Time” With the introduction of the railway, travel became faster. With every station keeping its own local mean time, the need for a synchronized time arose. The first railway company to implement a common time for all stations, appropriately named “Railway Time,” was the Great Western Railway in November 1840. By 1847, most railways were using “London Time,” the time set at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. In 1847, the Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) be adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it. On December 1, 1847, the London and North Western Railway, as well as the Caledonian Railway, adopted “London Time,” and by 1848 most railways had followed. Unofficial GMT By 1844, almost all towns and cities in Britain had adopted GMT, though the time standard received some resistance, with railway stations keeping local mean time and showing “London Time” with an additional minute hand on the clock. In 1862, the Great Clock of Westminster, popularly known as Big Ben, was installed. Though not controlled by the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, it received hourly time signals from Greenwich and returned signals twice daily. Standard Time Adopted However, it was not until 1880 that the British legal system caught up with the rest of the country. With the Statutes (Definition of Time) Act (43 & 44 Vict.), Greenwich Mean Time was legally adopted throughout the island of Great Britain on August 2, 1880.

    Summer 2017 WAYNE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hello WBA, I hope you enjoyed your 4th! We are halfway through 2017 and the WBA Board is working on a bunch of great events to get people into Wayne, the "Original Towne Center." Our 25th Annual Radnor Fall Festival is right around the corner and we are looking for sponsors. WAYNE I want to thank SILA and Foote Orthodontics on stepping up to the plate early as gold sponsors. If you are interested, there is more information on page 2 and 5 of this newsletter. Read it – we OPEN don't just cut and paste stock articles here! Our ad is due at the end of July for the September issue of Main Line Today and for Chester County Life. Next up is the Wayne Tree Lighting... but I am not going to talk about it because it's July...this is just subliminal. Late #WAYNEOPENLATE Speaking of Chester County Life, they are working with the WBA in writing solid editorials about our town. Huge spreads in the magazine with great pictures! Main Line Today will be writing up the Radnor Fall Festival this year, which should be a great spread as well. "Wayne Open Late?" What's that, you ask? Gloria Clawson, owner of Kids N' Kribs and new WBA Board Member, has started the conversation on Wayne businesses staying "Open Late" on Thursdays. This will be Wayne's version of First Fridays, Taco Tuesdays, etc...you get my drift. Gloria has talked to merchants in the WBOD if they would commit to staying open until 8pm every Thursday.

XonDon: M'^CORQUODALE & CO., LIMITED, PRINTERS, CARDINGTON STREET. 1904. ^7 A77373S" PREFACE. Owing to suggestions made from time to time by old comrades in railway life, I have been induced to put together some record of the part I have taken in connection with the inner working of Railways; going back to very early experiences, and through gradual developments extending over a long series of years, to the time when it became advisable for me to retire from the daily pressure of the work. A railway service commencing in 1847, carries one back a long way towards association with those who were the actual pioneers of our railway system ; from whom we learnt our first lessons, by whose successes we have profited, by whose failures we have acquired knowledge ; and on whose foundation we have endeavoured to raise a superstructure of so sub- stantial a character, that those who follow in our steps will have no reason to be ashamed of their predecessors.
