  • Canadian Rail No182 1966
    Can..a. ia )RS.~nn November 1966 Number 18a Thanks, Emmons! HA T THE 1966 Fall Foliage excursion was a social success, no one T will deny. The comparatively short train, the small number of passengers, an excellent display by Mother Nature and an excel- lent performance by that noble steel steed, No. 6218, combined to make the event an enjoyable one, not only for the passengers but also for the trip committee. A subsidiary factor but, unfortunately, an important one , was that it lost a considerable amount of money for the Association, and while the purpose of our excursions has never been to make a profit per se, it is reasonable that an attempt be made to avoid loss. In de­ fense of the Trip Committee, however, it should be said tha t the fall trip deficit was more than offset by a profit on the spring excursion to Essex Junction SO that, taking 1966 operations as a whole, there is a "black" balance. This would not have been, however, had it not been for the spontan­ eous generosity of the 470 Railroad Club of Portland, Maine, and its dedicated and magnanimous Treasurer and Clerk of Corporation, our good friend Mr. J. Emmons Lancaster. No. 6218 was shared with the Portland club on the October 1/2 weekend, and this sharing made the inevitable large fixed costs of supplying the locomotive and operating it over such a long mileage, less of a burden on both the Portland club and ourselves. The Portland group had a tremendous turnout of passengers, over eight hundred in fact, in contrast to slightly more than one hundred adventurous souls who supported our own trip.

Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia.
