  • ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives
    ERTAC Rail Emissions Inventory Part 3: Class II and III Locomotives Michelle Bergin, GA Environmental Protection Division Matthew Harrell, IL Environmental Protection Agency Mark Janssen, Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium Acknowledgments: Steve Sullivan, American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association David Powell, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. Dennis McGeen, Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality Lisa Higgins, Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection Laurel Driver, US EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Support Byeong Kim, GA Environmental Protection Division Introduction Air protection agencies from twenty-seven states, coordinated through the Eastern Regional Technical Advisory Committee (ERTAC) and headed by the Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO), identified a need to better quantify and characterize rail-related emissions inventories. Traditional locomotives utilize large diesel engines, resulting in emissions of NO x, diesel PM, hydrocarbons, greenhouse gases, and other air pollutants. These emissions are sometimes concentrated in areas exceeding National Ambient Air Quality Standards. No cohesive nationwide railroad emission estimates based on local operations are known to have been made previously. Inventory development methods for locomotive emissions estimates vary from state to state and, in general, lack the spatial or temporal resolution needed to support air quality modeling and planning 1-5. The ERTAC Rail Subcommittee (ERTAC Rail) was established with active representatives from twelve member states, three regional planning offices, and the US EPA. The subcommittee’s goals are to (1) standardize agencies’ inventory development methods through a collaborative effort, (2) improve the quality of data received and the resulting emission inventories, and (3) reduce the administrative burden on railroad companies of providing data.

In 2018, the company moved over 13,000 carloads while serving over 70 customers across a diversified set of end-user markets including heating, fuel blending, agriculture, chemicals, and metals. The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Diamondback Signal, is the premier provider of rail-crossing installation and maintenance services to over 100 public- and private-sector customers across 20 states. Since inception, the company has seen steady growth of its existing line traffic, successfully expanding to neighbouring regions and into value-accretive, infrastructure services. Regional Rail will represent 3i’s third infrastructure investment in North America since 2017 and will serve as 3i’s rail infrastructure platform for future investment in the sector. Rob Collins, Managing Partner, 3i North American Infrastructure, commented: “This is an exciting opportunity to partner with an established management team as we seek to put additional capital to work in North American rail infrastructure. The North American transportation market is rapidly evolving and Regional Rail is well positioned to benefit from those changes with future acquisitions.” Al Sauer, CEO, Regional Rail, added: “We look forward to working with 3i as we continue to focus on servicing our existing customers, growing economic development in our local communities, and expanding into new regions through strategic partnerships and acquisitions.

  • Nevada Northern Railway, B.A. No. 2742, Has Been Terminated As an Employer Under the Acts
    EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION Northern Nevada Railroad Corporation This is the determination of the Railroad Retirement Board regarding the status of Northern Nevada Railroad Corporation (NN) as an employer under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. §231 et seq.) (RRA) and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. §351 et seq.) (RUIA). NN has not previously been determined to be an employer under the RRA and the RUIA. Information about NN was furnished by Bryan R. R. Whipple, Chief Operating Officer of NN. Although NN was formed in 1991 to lease and operate the abandoned railroad properties of the former Nevada Northern Railway,1 the first compensated service performed as a rail common carrier was January 1, 1995. The rail line in question was acquired by the cities of Ely, Nevada and Los Angeles, California, and in 1993 NN obtained long-term freight operating rights from the cities. See Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) Finance Docket No. 32623, 32624 decided December 15, 1994. According to information provided by Mr. Whipple, NN began operations on January 1, 1995, and has nine employees who were compensated for rail carrier service from that same date. Mr. Whipple stated that the line in question interchanges with the Union Pacific Railroad, and by late 1995 will re-establish the former interchange with Southern Pacific Transportation Company. NN expects to ship about 3,200 carloads per year of copper concentrate from Magma Copper Co.'s mine to its smelter at San Manuel, Arizona. It also expects to handle crude oil, propane, electric cable, lumber and plywood, and copper slag.
