  • Telltales New1.Pub
    August Telltales 2010 Newsletter of the Boulder Model Railroad Club Blairsville, PA (shown above) lies between Pittsburgh and Johnstown on the Conemaugh Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. BMRC member Gary Rauch plans to make Blairsville a focus on his layout and will explain to us this month why it offers so many unique modeling opportunities (more info on page 5). The contest topic is “Locomotive Servicing,” which should result in a fine display of coaling towers, roundhouses, sand facilities and more, so join us for an evening of learning and fun on Thursday, August 12, 7:15 PM (or 6:00 PM for dinner beforehand, as so many members are doing) at the American Legion Hall, 1150 Pine in Louisville . Don’t miss it! EDITORIAL Time is running out! I volunteered to open my home for a layout tour on September 25th and, like others who have stepped forward at various times during the year, I fear I will not complete everything on my “To Do” list before the fateful day. And it doesn’t help that we are in the middle of summer, which means yard work, some traveling, and other stuff that always gets saved up for when the weather will be nice. I’ve attended many layout tours over my time in the BMRC, and I’ve set a rule for myself that I won’t display my layout on another tour unless I have made enough significant changes in it (on it? with it?) to justify asking visitors to come and look at it again. Which explains why I am nervous about getting everything on my list checked off.

  • Freight Rail Projects
    Pennnsylvania Intercity Passenger and Freight Rail Plan Appendix 9 Freight Rail Projects SEPTEMBER 2010 Appendix 9 Freight Rail Projects In an effort to identify the capital needs of the freight industry in Pennsylvania, PennDOT conducted an extensive outreach initiative, in coordination with the Keystone State Railroad Association, to secure input from all 65 operating railroads within the Pennsylvania freight rail network. This outreach effort included solicitation for planned capital projects at rail-related conferences and e-mail correspondence, as well as follow-up telephone calls during July and August 2010. The project submissions provided in the following table characterize the full extent of known planned capital investments for railroad infrastructure across Pennsylvania as of August 2010. The table is organized alphabetically by railroad and lists projects by implementation timeframe (near-term: 1-3 years, mid-term: 3-5, and long-term: more than 5 years). Brief project descriptions, location, and estimated costs are also included. Project categories were contributed by the Keystone State Railroad Association. PennDOT will also evaluate all submitted projects against the goals and objectives outlined in the Pennsylvania Intercity Passenger and Freight Rail Plan to assist the Department in making future funding decisions. PennDOT’s grant application process will be used to maintain a current list of projects.

Lauby Associate Administrator for Railroad Safety / Chief Safety Officer Federal Railroad Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., Mail Stop 25 Washington, DC 20590 March 31, 2016 RE: Norfolk Southern Railway Positive Train Control Progress Report (Docket FRA – 2010- 0060) Dear Mr. Lauby: With the attached document, Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“NSR”) provides its progress report documenting progress toward achieving its planned PTC Implementation. This report is submitted in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 20157(c)(1) and utilizes the structure of Form FRA F 6180.166 (“Form”) OMB Approval granted 3-16-16 for content. Note that because this report covers calendar year 2015, a year for which annual goals were not covered by the revised PTCIP submitted by NSR as required by the PTC Enforcement and Implementation Act (the “Act”), there is not always a match between the NSR provided data requirements set forth in the Act and the “going forward” data requirements of FRA’s Form. For example, NSR’s revised PTCIP did not contain 2015 year-end goals for equipment installation, training, back office and dispatching locations, or route miles in testing, revenue service demonstration, or operation. Accordingly, many columns of data for the annual goals in this report have a response of “N/A.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, NSR has endeavored to provide in its 2015 report both the data elements now required by the Act as well as other meaningful information related to our progress.
