This Part 2, Technical Specification ATC System, defines requirements for the design, supply, installation, integration, cutover, performance, testing, commissioning, and safety certification of a complete Automatic Train Control (ATC) system based on service-proven Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) technology, which includes all wayside, carborne, Automatic Train Supervision (ATS), Data Communication System (DCS),Mainline Solid State Interlocking (SSI), Storage Yard Solid State Interlocking (SSI) and Auxiliary Wayside System (AWS) equipment, to replace Maryland Transit Administration’s (MTA) existing cab signal system on the Metro. The Contractor shall manage, design, develop, manufacture, deliver, store, construct, install, integrate, test, commission, cutover, and safety certify the ATC System and related system equipment in accordance with the requirements of this Technical Specification Part 2 ATC System, Part 1 Program Management and Common Technical Requirements, and Part 3 Railcar. B. The new ATC System shall meet all the requirements of this Specification and shall take into account the existing constraints on the wayside and car fleet, interface with existing infrastructure and Metro Operations Control Center (MOCC) to provide Automatic Train Control (ATC) functionality to sustain operations. The new ATC System shall be installed, tested, and safety certified by the Contractor on the currently operating rapid transit system with minimum disruption to existing passenger service. C. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for the detailed design of the ATC System and shall provide a system that is in all respects compliant with this Technical Specification and fully functional. The Contractor’s ATC System shall meet or exceed the functional, performance, operational, and safety requirements of this Technical Specification. D. The implementation of the new ATC system will likely require the construction of temporary facilities to house temporarily the SSI and related equipment. Not all TC&C rooms have sufficient space to permit the installation of all the ATC equipment at once, and therefore as described in section 10, a phased approach which requires temporary room construction will be required. There is available space as necessary for a temporary configuration in each location as follows: 1. Johns Hopkins – Room 105 has 11' × 12' useable space to support the temporary configuration. 2. Shot Tower - Not currently used to house any TC equipment. 3. Charles Center - The east end open area has space to support the temporary configuration. 4. State Center - The west end open area has an 11' × 17' space to support the temporary configuration. 5. Upton - Storage room 313 has a 16' × 18' space that could be used for the temporary configuration. Attachment C, Part 2, ATC System T-8000-1415 Section 1 – General Requirements TS 1-1 September 2015 6. Penn North - Room #305 is 5' × 11' and Room #307 is 6' × 14'. Both are available to support the temporary configuration. 7. Mondawmin - An adjacent area of 12' × 19' could be built-out to support the temporary configuration. 8. Rogers Avenue -A mechanical room of 5' x 19' exist that could support 1 row of temporary configuration racks. 9. Reisterstown Plaza - Within the Traction Power Substation there exists an available 20'x20' space; or, there is space on the platform and at grade to support the temporary configuration. 10. Milford Mill - Room #715 has an 8' × 9'available space; or, there is space available in the station Lobby to support the temporary configuration. 11. McDonogh Road – Space for a separate standalone structure sitting on the ground next to the building with sufficient space to support the temporary configuration. 12. Owings Mills – An existing air shaft that has an 11' × 19' space that could be built-out to support temporary configuration. 13. Yard - Sys Maint Shop-Space for a separate standalone structure sitting on the ground next to the building to support the temporary configuration. 14. There is available space in each of the following TC&C rooms to support a temporary or permanent configuration: Lexington Market Portal West Cold Spring Old Court Yard - Wabash Shop 1.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES The primary objectives of this project are: A. Procure a complete CBTC-based ATC System to replace the MTA’s existing life-expired cab signal system B. Utilize proven technologies for each system element to minimize development cost and implementation risk C. Provide a complete system that satisfies all the specified requirements for Performance, Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety. D. Implement the new ATC System as an integrated program together with the new Rolling Stock project so that the ATC System and the new rail cars can be introduced into service with minimal disruption to ongoing Metro passenger service. Attachment C, Part 2, ATC System T-8000-1415 Section 1 – General Requirements TS 1-2 September 2015 1.2.1 Proven Design A. All major hardware equipment and software elements of the proposed ATC System shall have successful passenger-carrying service experience on an urban rail transit system and shall include the following: 1. Carborne and wayside CBTC subsystems 2. Solid State Interlocking control equipment 3. Automatic Train Supervision system 4. Train Detection systems 5. Data Communication Systems including wayside and carborne data radios 6. Wayside equipment B. It is recognized that a fully integrated, off-the-shelf, service-proven ATC System may not be available to meet all the requirements of this Technical Specification, and that various levels of adaptation, customization of hardware and software elements identified above may be necessary. In some cases, such as interfaces, development of new hardware and software elements may also be required for adaptation. C. The Contractor shall identify any signal equipment or functionality that is not proven in revenue service (CDRL 1-1). 1.2.2 Commissioning on a Revenue System The Contractor shall install, test and safety certify the furnished ATC System and equipment on the project line when allowed access only several hours a night (or weekends) for equipment installation and test. The Contractor shall ensure that all work performed on the MTA Metro system does not result in delays to subsequent revenue service operation, and that any work performed does not create unsafe conditions or result in a degradation of service to the Metro riding public. 1.2.3 Design Life The ATC System shall have a minimum design life of 30 years. The ability of the ATC System to remain in operation to the end of its design life will be supported by long-term availability of parts. The Contractor shall provide all new equipment except where specifically noted in this Technical Specification that the equipment is “by others” or is to be reused as approved by the MTA. 1.3 SCOPE OF WORK A. This Technical Specification Part 2, ATC System, is generally complete and comprehensive, but is not intended to describe all work details to be performed and therefore must be supplemented by the Contractor’s experience in designing, installing, cutting-over, testing, and certifying signal systems to achieve the performance and functional requirements. It is required that the Contractor examine the details of the existing signal system currently supporting Metro

  • Rail Train Operating Instructions
    Union Pacific Railroad Rail Train Operating Instructions REVISED: March 8, 2010 1 Table of Contents Section Page No. Introduction 3 Job Briefing 5 Manpower 8 Communication 9 Train and Equipment Consist 10 Rail Unloading Operation s 11 Rail Pick-Up Operations 15 2 Rail Train Operating Instructions Introduction Rail replacement is an important part of Union Pacific’s track maintenance program. Each year, new Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) is unloaded system wide for installation. Likewise, secondhand CWR and bolted rail is picked-up by Rail Trains, and is either transported to system rail plants, or cascaded to other secondhand curve rail projects. System trains used in this process consist of two rail unloading cars, and four to five rail car pick-up units for secondhand rail. Compliance with these instructions will ensure the safe and efficient operation of all Rail Train operations. The Manager Track Maintenance (MTM) or appointed supervisor will assist the Rail Train Supervisor (RTS) during all Rail Train operations. Local management is responsible for: 1) Reviewing project plans before the Rail Train's arrival to ensure the efficient unloading of rail. 2) Obtaining and communicating the proper exclusive track occupancy (Form B, Form C, single-tracking and flag protection) to all interested parties as required. Coordinate moves with Maintenance-of-Way Operations Control (MWOC), Corridor Manager, and other Maintenance-of-Way gangs working in the area. 3) Providing the Rail Train Supervisor with a copy of General Orders and information about the territory that may affect the operation (i.e., location of bridges, signals, switches and other obstructions).

Price 30 cents Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis PREFACE Shifts in the relative importance of industries and occupations are inevitable in an economy typified by constantly changing markets, technology, resources, and other structural character­ istics. The railroad industry is a prime example of the effects of such change. Once an industrial giant exemplifying a pioneering and expanding Am erica, railroads have not kept pace with general economic growth in the post-World War II period. Railroad employment has fallen sharply and, in the process, many occupa­ tions have been severely affected. This bulletin analyzes employment trends and occupational changes in the railroad industry in the 1947-60 period. The study is part of the continuing program of research on the changing industrial structure and occupational composition of the American economy conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

  • Positive Train Control (PTC)
    Positive Train Control (PTC) Positive Train Control Safety is Amtrak’s top priority. Amtrak is a leader in the installation of Positive Train Control (PTC), a safety technology designed to match train speed to track conditions for improved safety. Positive Train Control provides an added layer of safety. Installation and maintenance of PTC is the responsibility of the railroad that controls the track. Amtrak Infrastructure In December 2015, Amtrak activated PTC on track between New York and Washington, D.C., completing installation on most Amtrak-owned infrastructure on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) spine. PTC has been installed between Boston and New Haven since 2000. The only exceptions are seven miles, all of which are located in or adjacent to terminal areas where trains move slower and automatic train control systems are in service. Of note, Amtrak is not responsible for installing PTC on the following segments of the NEC which it doesn’t control, between New York and Boston: Harold Interlocking east of New York Penn Station is the responsibility of the LIRR, and Metro-North Railroad is responsible for the 56 mile New Rochelle-New Haven segment owned by the states of New York and Connecticut. In early 2016, Amtrak activated PTC on the 104-mile Harrisburg Line. Amtrak has also installed and is operating PTC along the 97 miles of track it owns in Michigan and Indiana, where PTC was introduced in 2002. Amtrak is working on installation of PTC on other lines, including the 60 mile Springfield line (where a major double-tracking project funded by the state of Connecticut is underway), the 105 mile Hudson line between Poughkeepsie and the Schenectady area (leased by Amtrak), and the 135 mile Dearborn-Kalamazoo segment of the Michigan line owned by Michigan, as well as the Chicago Union Station terminal areas.

  • Chapter 5 Signals
    CALTRAIN DESIGN CRITERIA CHAPTER 5 – SIGNALS CHAPTER 5 SIGNALS A. GENERAL When the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) owned and operated the Caltrain corridor, the signal system had been designed based on the mixed operation of freight and passenger trains. The signal system spacing was based upon single direction running, with braking distances for 80 Ton per Operative Brake (TPOB) freight trains at 60 MPH (miles per hour). The Santa Clara, College Park, Fourth Street, and San Jose operators' positions were consolidated into a single dispatch center, with Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) from Santa Clara (Control Point or CP Coast) to CP Tamien. San Francisco Control Points, namely Fourth Street, Potrero, Bayshore, and Brisbane were operated as Manual Interlockings under the control of the San Jose Dispatcher with bi-directional automatic block signaling between Fourth Street and Potrero, and single direction running between control points from Potrero southward. After State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) completed the freeway I-280 retrofit, bi- directional CTC was in effect between Fourth Street and Bayshore. Between 1992 and 1997, signal design was performed by various designers, as a by product of third party contracts on the railroad. There was little consistency between projects, and little overview as to how the projects tied together, and how they would fare with future projects. In 1997, the Caltrain's two signal engineering designers, and the contract operator developed the Caltrain Signal Engineering Design Standards. The new standards have become one of migration. 1.0 SIGNAL SYSTEM MIGRATION The migration of the Caltrain Signal System was defined as follows: a.
