A man of talent and integrity

T

wenty-five years ago, February 1989, to be exact, 42-year-old Anthony Duncan Kruglinski left his post as Vice President and Manager of the Transportation Department at Irving Trust Co. in New York City and founded Railroad Financial Corp. The new venture would specialize in “Financial Advisory Services, Debt Placement, and Venture Capital.”

At the same time, Tony signed on as Railway Age’s Financial Editor, with a new column entitled Equipment Financial Trends (which later became Financially Speaking and then Financial Edge), and two annual supplements, our Guide to Equipment Leasing and Railroad Financial Desk Book.

Why undertake such a venture? What attracted this banker to the railroad business? As Tony put it in his first column for Railway Age, “The opportunities in this industry are enormous. The investment community’s generally held belief is that the railroad industry is a stodgy, immobile monolith with returns on capital that are below other industries and likely to stay that way. That’s wrong. I believe we’re sitting on an active volcano of opportunity that’s ready to explode. . . . I’m convinced that this is the industry to be in today.”

Was he spot-on, or what?

If I showed Tony his first column today, he’d say (with a twinkle in his eye) something like, “Of course I was right! You questioning my intuition?”

Sadly, I can’t do that. Tony Kruglinski, my colleague and friend since July 1992, when I signed on as Assistant Editor of this magazine, died June 15 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 66.

Sir Winston Churchill’s observation, “We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give,” was one of Tony’s favorite quotations. That’s how he conducted business, and how he lived his life. His many rail industry associates and his family can attest to that.

Of course, Tony was highly quotable (including a few things I won’t print here).

My favorites are, “The truth sells” and “Do the right thing and you will reap a bit of luck as a result.”

Well, perhaps I should share one pithy observation, a “Tony-ism,” if you will: “If you work for someone else, three things can screw you: your boss, the economy, yourself. If you work for yourself, you eliminate one thing that can screw you!”

Tony enjoyed writing; he was a master at taking a complex subject, equipment finance, and making it understandable to people without financial backgrounds (like me). I enjoyed editing his copy. I used to tease him about all the ellipses (......) I had to edit out. He always had a goodnatured comeback.

Our Senior Consulting Editor, Luther S. Miller, who worked with Tony for close to 30 years, said upon learning of his death, “He was a man of formidable talent.

Over the years, his many editorial contributions to the magazine set the standard for reporting and commentary on railroad equipment finance and leasing. But more significant, he was a man of integrity.

Whether he was structuring a multimillion-dollar locomotive or railcar deal, or just giving advice, Tony inspired trust, confidence, and respect.”

Railroad Financial Corp. Senior Vice President David Nahass succeeds Tony as our Financial Editor—a job that Tony, in his wisdom, prepared David to assume.

“We will always remember Tony for his old-school toughness and his appreciation for the people with whom he worked over the years,” David said. “He was in so many ways an incredible man. A man of generosity, kindness, and intellect, Tony had a great love of life and was indeed a figure that was larger than life. He will be missed.

Rest in peace, big guy.”

And thank you for leaving this industry a better place than you found it.

Less Fuel Less Oil More Work

The advanced design of MTU engines allow KLW locomotives to use up to 50% less fuel and 75% less oil than many locomotives in use today. This is achieved while meeting EPA and ULEL requirements without the use of costly aaertreatments. With low emissions, low fuel/oil consumption, improved tractive eort, and a reliable single-engine design, it is easy to see why KLW repowers are changing the way people think about green locomotives.

Industry Outlook TSB clears interim CBR reforms

GBRX building Tank Car of the Future Not including orders for 7,000 new railcars worth $700 million announced May 21, 2014 (RA, June 2014, p. 8), Greenbrier has been awarded contracts for 7,700 cars from multiple buyers valued at more than $960 million—for a total of 14,700 cars valued at $1.66 billion. Among the orders are 3,500 Tank Cars of the Future from customers in the U.S. and Canada, “the first awards in the rail industry for a dramatically improved tank car for transporting flammables,” Greenbrier said. In addition, Greenbrier said there is strong interest from multiple customers in the retrofit of pre-CPC-1232 tank cars currently operating in flammable commodity service. GBW Railcar Services, the repair, refurbishment, and maintenance joint venture with Watco Cos. (see p. 13), is prepared to take on some of this business.

The Tank Car of the Future, the HM-251, has safety features that include thicker steel, more robust top and bottom outlet protection, and jacketed shells with ceramic insulation. Greenbrier says its new design will be equal in capacity volume to a legacy DOT-111 tank car with a loading volume of 30,000 gallons.

UP: More premium intermodal trains Union Pacific has increased the frequency of two intermodal services, Portland-Chicago and Northern California-Chicago, both of which are part of UP’s top-tier “premium” intermodal service, with four-day delivery in the morning.

service between western U.S. markets and Chicago, the country’s primary transportation interchange point.

It gives customers access to our extensive rail network, which is made possible in part by our significant capital investments, including a record $4.1 billion in 2014.”

The Portland-Chicago service, Portland Premium, operates six days per week westbound and five days per week eastbound. The Northern California-Chicago service, NorCal, connects Chicago and the Northern California region, utilizing UP’s Oakland and Lathrop intermodal ramps, and operates between five and seven days per week depending on direction and specific origin/destination points.

Intermodal customers utilizing these enhanced service lanes have access to EMP and UMAX equipment, the largest railroad-owned container fleet in North America.

Canada’s Transportation Safety Board (TSB) has given Transport Canada (TC) a passing grade on interim emergency directives introduced in April to reduce the chances of crude oil train explosions.

In a June 18 report card, the TSB gave a grade of “satisfactory in part” to TC’s three-year phase-out of DOT111 general purpose tank cars and welcomed TC’s interim adoption of the industry’s voluntary CPC-1232 specification. The TSB said a final grade awaits specification by Canadian and U.S. regulators of a new standard.

The TSB released three laboratory analyses showing how the cars in the Lac-Mégantic derailment crumpled and breached, data that can inform current FRA/PHMSA deliberations over a successor to the DOT-111 and CPC-1232 cars.

With respect to its recommendation that Canada’s “Emergency Response Assistance Plans” already in place for higher-risk commodities be required for crude oil, the TSB awarded a “fully satisfactory” grade. Implementation of ERAP protection for trains including even a single carload of crude oil or ethanol is under way.

On TC’s emergency directive that railroads undertake route planning and analysis for dangerous goods consists, the TSB gave a grade of “satisfactory intent.” While the new regulatory requirement for urban speed restrictions and risk-based route planning is stronger than a similar request from the FRA, the TSB was dubious about its application only to routes that see 10,000 or more carloads of dangerous goods annually. It called for a fresh look at the implications of the 10,000-carload threshold for route planning and risk analysis.

The TSB has yet to issue a final report on the Lac-Mégantic disaster, in which 47 people were killed when a runaway crude oil train left the tracks at 65 mph, causing a massive explosion.

Market Amtrak, CHSRA go separate ways Plans by Amtrak and the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) to jointly purchase a fleet of high speed trainsets have been scrapped as the parties acknowledged that the specifications differ too greatly.

Amtrak needs a fleet of 160-mph trainsets quickly, with tilt capability to cope with the curves to reduce journey times, to replace its Acela Express trains operating on the Northeast Corridor. But CHSRA seeks conventional 200-mph trainsets to operate on its planned, dedicated statewide network.

Amtrak intends to issue a Request For Proposals this month for a fleet of 28 tilting HSR trainsets. CHSRA expects to issue a tender in October for 15 trainsets initially, although it will require up to 70 trainsets during the next 15 years.

ddressing the Railway Age Crude

By Rail Conference last month in Arlington, Va., Association of American Railroads President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger detailed the many steps freight railroads are taking to boost the safety of moving crude oil by rail. He also reiterated the industry’s call for the federal government to increase tank car standards.

Railroads, Hamberger said, have conducted a top-to-bottom review of their operations and have updated aspects of their operations in light of the increased volumes moving on their lines.

“In any discussion of crude by rail, safety and reliability are key factors in understanding how important rail has become to North America’s push for energy independence,” Hamberger said.

“A strong safety culture is embedded in the railroads, and has long been a core attribute of the railroading industry— from planning, training, prevention, and preparedness. The railroads’ reliability comes from a demonstrated track record of investing billions of dollars back into the rail network year after year, enabling them to swiftly meet the rising demand to move domestic energy resources our economy relies upon.”

In addition to steps taken by the railroads, Hamberger noted the importance of increasing the safety of tank cars used to move crude oil, as well as ensuring shippers properly classify the oil being generated from domestic fracking operations.

“Railroads are taking multiple steps to further increase the safety of transporting crude oil, but more can be done when it comes to the tank cars used to haul it,” Hamberger said.

“Railroads believe that federal tank car standards should be raised to ensure crude oil and other flammable liquids are moving in the safest car possible, based on the product they are moving.

The industry also wants the existing crude oil fleet upgraded through retrofits, or older cars to be phased out as quickly as possible.”

The rail industry has also stepped up its efforts to communicate and coordinate with communities and first responders, and railroads are dedicating tremendous resources to prevent and prepare for emergency situations all along their lines, he noted.

“Railroads are working with state and local emergency response officials to ensure those who need to know what is moving through their area are informed and trained to respond to an emergency situation,” Hamberger said.

“The industry has also taken the lead in designing new training programs focused specifically on emergency response incidents involving crude oil, to make sure first responders have the skills and training they need.”

Hamberger described three areas of concentration: prevention, which is directly tied to investment in plant and equipment; mitigation, which involves going beyond previously recommended standards; and emergency response.

To date, working with the American Petroleum Institute, more than 22,000 first-responders have been trained in tank car incident procedures.

Union Tank Car Company’s prototype “Tank Car of Tomorrow” TIH pressure tank car is nearing completion of its second year of accelerated field tests, “reliably equaling more than five years of normal service,” the company announced last month.

In 2011, UTLX built a test group of pressure tank cars under FRA special permit SP-15036. These cars were designed to transport specific Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) commodities commonly used by industry, metropolitan water districts, and consumers. Based on a long-standing UTLX design, the double-hull concept “was enhanced to create a tank car that is more resistant to punctures in an incident involving head or shell impacts,” the company said.

A trial tank car is now in its 15th cycle of testing by

Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TCCI). Since August 2012, the car has accumulated more than 150,000 miles on a defined route within Union Pacific’s rail network. The test criteria prescribe a mix of loaded and unloaded cycles to approximate real interchange conditions. About halfway through the regimen, the car was visually inspected and unloaded for a battery of magnetic particle and ultrasonic tests. “The car passed every test,” UTLX noted.

In June, the trial car, No. 920311, was returned to the UTLX manufacturing plant in Sheldon, Tex., for intensive inspection according to remaining SP-15036 requirements.

The car will be tested with multiple non-destructive methods to further prove the design before being restored to operational readiness. The car then will be returned to TTCI in Pueblo, Colo., for final testing.

Ten more cars built under SP-15036 “are performing safely in revenue service,” UTLX said. “All feedback from carriers and the FRA has been favorable. We will use the test conclusions to collaborate with the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) on final regulatory authorizations so that the ‘Tank Car of Tomorrow’ can go into general production under its own U.S. Department of Transportation classification.”

Greenbrier, Watco set railcar repair venture The Greenbrier Cos., Inc. and Watco Companies, LLC last month announced a new company that will create a North American network of railcar repair shops. The new company, GBW Railcar Services, LLC (GBW), is a 50-50 joint venture “that will own and operate Greenbrier’s and Watco’s respective railcar repair, refurbishment, and maintenance businesses,” the companies said.

GBW Railcar Services will create “the largest independent railcar repair network of 38 locations across North America, including 14 certified tank car shops,” the companies stated, adding, “GBW will have the scale to meet the certification and maintenance requirements of the growing North American tank car fleet and expand railcar repair service offerings for general freight cars of nearly all types.”

GBW will be led by a recent Greenbrier hire, Jim Cowan, as CEO. He will continue to serve as Senior Vice President, Operations for Greenbrier and maintain certain responsibilities at Greenbrier unrelated to GBW. Greenbrier now operates 23 railcar repair locations and Watco currently operates 15 complementary sites. GBW’s combined network will feature 14 tank car repair shops— 10 of which will be from Watco and four from Greenbrier —all certified by the Association of American Railroads as required by federal regulations, the companies said. As well, all 38 locations can perform the type of general freight car repair and maintenance services “that are consistently in demand and which are a core competency of both Greenbrier and Watco.”

The companies said Greenbrier provides commercial strength and leadership in railcar safety design and engineering, including its recently developed “Tank Car of the Future.”

Greenbrier also sports its geographically dispersed railcar repair, refurbishment, and maintenance network. “Combined with the experience derived from our integrated business model including manufacturing, leasing, and railcar management services, Greenbrier’s leadership in the rail industry will be a strong contribution to GBW,” Greenbrier said. For its part, Watco brings to GBW “some of the broadest tank car expertise available in the market, along with substantial general railcar repair capability through a well-established and efficient railcar repair platform,” Watco noted.

In addition to its repair operations, Watco said it “has a broad customer base and operating footprint as one of North America’s largest short line railroad, port, and terminal management companies. Watco contributes a broad range of repair services to GBW. Watco’s multiple tank car repair facilities in the Midwest, Gulf, and Southeastern U.S. will further position GBW for success. Watco, along with its partner Kinder Morgan, is a leading provider of transportation and terminal services to major Gulf ports for energy businesses serving the Bakken formation and other energy fields.”

“We both saw a need to increase capacity,” Watco CEO Rick Webb told Railway Age. “Our customers require new

Amtrak testing Viewliner II baggage cars The first of Amtrak’s 55 new Viewliner II baggage cars, no. 61000—one of four Viewliner II series long-distance car types—is undergoing field testing.

The baggage cars will be used on all 15 long-distance Amtrak routes. “The updated design provides for improved reliability and maintenance, and better baggage loading/unloading procedures,” Amtrak said. “Also, the new built-in luggage racks can secure unboxed bicycles to support the growing demand by passengers to bring their bikes onboard an expanding number of routes.”

The field testing program has several elements, including compatibility tests to ensure the baggage car couples cleanly, and can operate through a curve without interference, with numerous types of Amtrak cars and locomotives. In addition, there are tests for speed, stability, braking, noise,

wheelset/rail interaction, as well as actual baggage handling.

Field testing will continue through October with the baggage car traveling on the Northeast Corridor and on long-distance routes to Chicago, New Orleans, and Miami. Amtrak expects the new cars to enter revenue service by the end of 2014.

The baggage cars are part of a larger order for 130 single-level,

long-distance Viewliner II passenger cars, which also include diners, sleepers, and baggage-crew dormitory cars.

CAF USA of Elmira, N.Y., is building the cars.

“All four car types will modernize the Amtrak fleet, improve reliability and maintenance, upgrade passenger amenities, travel at speeds up to 125 mph, and replace units built as far back as the 1940s and 1950s,” Amtrak said.

STB’s newest member: Status quo beware

M

oving homogeneous electrons through wires, or even moving freight in trucks over publicly financed highways, is hardly akin to moving cargo over privately owned and maintained railroads.

Numerous missteps by regulators past, insensitive to the differences, assured that in business downturns, railroads were unable to meet fixed costs, much less invest in renewal or demand-driven expansion of plant and equipment. For nine decades following creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), a pandemic of insolvencies periodically ensued, notwithstanding well-meaning attempts to substitute the government leviathan for the invisible hand of market forces.

The Staggers Rail Act of 1980 allowed some 80% of all rail traffic to avoid regulatory oversight, while the ICC and its successor, the Surface Transportation Board (STB), insulated differential (a/k/a value-of-service or Ramsey) pricing from unwarranted attack.

Railroad financial health is now the strongest in modern history, attracting envy from shippers and investors.

Differential pricing makes railroads competitive with rights-of-way subsidized trucks and barges in that rail rates may be set slightly above the variable costs of moving the freight, generating a small contribution to fixed costs.

On freight with no effective alternatives to rail (captive traffic), shippers pay higher rates that cover a larger proportion of fixed costs. Collectively, a railroad achieves revenue adequacy.

Captive coal, chemical, and grain shippers, much of whose freight remains subject to potential regulation, most frequently seek regulatory redress. Often, they don’t prevail, and their commotions attracted congressional interest. Regulators developed ever more complex and expensive formulas

July 2014

to decide complaints of excessive rates.

Yet the high cost of pursuing such cases—$5 million is average for shippers—begs for reform.

Indeed, bringing a rate case under the STB’s Stand Alone Cost (SAC) test requires the shipper—on paper and employing for the task a flock of accountants, attorneys, economists, rail operating experts, and statisticians— to construct, operate, and maintain a hypothetical railroad built from scratch.

There are as many suggestions for reform as there are attorneys representing rail and shipper interests.

Deb Miller would welcome the opportunity for STB’s members to share ideas, an approach dissuaded by federal ethics rules.

The newest member of the STB, former Kansas transportation secretary Deb Miller, just two months on the job, already recognizes something is amiss.

Her ability to nurture cooperative focus among disparate interests—“gain consensus to deliver a better product faster”—resulted in her being retained in her Kansas cabinet post by a far-tothe-right governor whose predecessor was left of center.

“The complexity and cost of SAC is astounding,” Miller says. “If one could find an approach that wouldn’t require the enormous time and cost that SAC

requires would be beneficial. It is not going to be a perfect approach, but an extremely interesting intellectual endeavor to turn up alternatives that are economically desirable.” This is especially so, she says, with non-coal, non-unit-train cases, such as chemicals and grain shipments.

Can an alternative to an SAC-type process “that captures all the complexities” of such cases be “satisfying to the parties? I don’t know. Nobody does,” Miller acknowledges.

In acknowledging that the issue will remain before the STB—it is unlikely Congress will amend the statute near-term—Miller would welcome greater opportunity for the STB’s three members to share ideas, an approach dissuaded by federal ethics rules that prohibit even informal in-camera conversations. “I regret it is not easier to have open conversations and an exchange of ideas, but I appreciate the [ethics rules],” she says.

Miller also wants the STB’s decision process to be more transparent and functional.

Drawing on her Kansas DOT background, she favors setting interim goals and monitored performance schedules for interdisciplinary staff teams.

“I fully understand complaints that parties sometimes have difficulty learning the status of STB cases and where they are in the decision process,” she asserts.

For an agency often criticized for opaque procedures and being disinclined toward risk taking, Miller offers refreshing outspokenness.

As a shipper attorney said during her nomination process, “She may have this odd idea that staff works for her, and not vice versa. And if she knows enough not to take the railroads, and Washington, at face value, then she could have lots of potential.”

What’s a tank car builder/rebuilder to do?

A

t Railway Age’s Crude By Rail conference in Arlington, Va., last month, which looked to identify and clarify the state of the CBR market today and discuss the potential regulatory changes and the impact the changing CBR landscape may have on the railroad industry in general, the agenda was loaded with rail industry insiders who had a valuable perspective on CBR and its future.

Rather than try to squeeze all of this information into one Financial Edge column, this month’s column will discuss equipment; next month’s will tackle the rest of the program.

The CBR debate breaks down into four main issues: One, what is the current timing for the release of the regulatory changes in tank car design and how many cars are going to require potential modification once the regulations are put forward? Two, where and when is all of this modification work going to be completed? Three, who is going to pay for the modifications? Four, what is going to happen to tank car demand once the new regulations are finalized?

What is the current timing for the release of the regulatory changes in tank car design and how many cars are going to require potential modification?

Although the U.S. Department of Transportation promised a final ruling in 2015, the pressure from all corners of the political spectrum is mounting on the DOT to provide one sooner. There are rumors swirling that a ruling could be offered as soon as the end of July, while Congress has demanded final ruling

by Sept. 30, 2014. The issuance of the rule does not factor into account the potential for legal challenges that may surface once the ruling is passed.

The scope of the change (for example, is ethanol inside or outside the group of cars requiring modification?) is one big unresolved issue; the final modification specification, 7/16-inch-thick steel vs.

18

RAILWAY AGE

July 2014

9/16, is another; managing the required coordination between the U.S and Canada is a third.

Where and when is all of this modification work going to be completed?

Robert Pickel from National Steel Car in Hamilton, Ontario, noted that there are roughly 97,000 cars in flammable (crude and ethanol) service today.

Other than the 25,000 cars built to the CPC-1232 specification after October 2011, the majority (65,000 legacy cars) of those cars are likely to require and may be able to be modified post-regulation.

Bob noted that in many cases the retrofit

The pool of tank cars potentially requiring retrofit is significant. The actual number of cars may be lower than assumed. option for older cars may be overstated.

In other words, the pool of tank cars potentially requiring retrofit is likely to be significant. However, the pool of tank cars that can actually be retrofitted may be smaller than is being assumed today.

Talk about complicated!

A railcar repair shop and a tank railcar repair shop are two totally different entities. All tank car shops can likely repair any railcar, but all railcar shops cannot repair tank cars. There are roughly 115 repair facilities that can work on tank cars. In many of those shops, project backlog is already into 2015 for the standard requirement for recertification (HM216, formerly HM201). 0Add in the

potential for retrofitting cars after the new tank regulations are finalized and you have a capacity problem on your hands. The manufacturers will able to assist in the retrofit process, but the limitations on capacity highlight the practical realities and the logistical challenges the regulators are dealing with in connection with the change in specification. The implementation period for the changing regulation is likely to be long and forgiving. A quick implementation period would paralyze the transportation system and reduce carloads. I think everyone would agree that is a lose/lose result.

Who is going to pay for the modifications?

Both lessees and lessors are worried about cost. Most DOT-111A tank cars are in “full service” lease arrangements where the lessor makes the modification and the lessee pays a portion of the cost over time.

A very high level estimate of the potential retrofit costs can run from as little as $20,000 to as high as $60,000 (again courtesy Bob Pickel), depending on its age and the scope of the modification. Using these numbers, the impact on a lessee’s lease cost could be enormous. The discussions between lessees and lessors regarding modification cost and financial responsibility could become contentious. The resolution on this point remains unclear.

What is going to happen to tank car demand once the new regulations are finalized?

One place where all parties agree: Demand for new-builds has been soft while companies await the publishing of the regulatory changes. A portion of the production quantities of tank cars being built has been for cars not involved in CBR service. Generally, all parties agree that the floodgates will reopen once the regulation is set and the environment has stabilized.

One big question: For how long does the backlog run at high levels? Industry experts suggest it has another five years to run, minimum!

MIDYEAR REPORT

RIDING A TIDE OF PROSPERITY With traffic in most commodities on an upswing and capital investment at record levels, the railroads are on track for another prosperous year.

By WILLIAM C. VANTUONO, Editor-in-Chief

ust for a while, put aside talk of exploding crude oil trains and pending tank car regulations, or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed clamp-down on coal-fired utilities, and take a good look at the railroad industry’s current situation. Simply put, the overall picture is positive.

In this industry, every piece of good news comes with its caveats. Some of these are explored by Wall Street Contributing Editor Jason Seidl in his trenchant midyear commentary later in this story (p. 22).

On the whole, though, recent and ongoing developments add up to a positive picture of prosperity.

Capital spending is headed for a new all-time high exceeding $16 billion. BNSF alone is investing $5 billion this year, up from $4 billion in 2013.

A surge in traffic—including crude by rail—has created a surge in freight car orders. The Greenbrier Companies alone has reported orders for cars valued at nearly $1.7 billion, among them 3,500 Tank Car of the Future units (see p. 6).

As traffic as grown, so has employment. Train crews are among those being brought back on the job. In mid-May, total employment was up 1.13% to 166,097 (see p. 4). Wall Street is looking favorably on railroad stocks, and more are trading at or near their 52-week highs.

The CBR boom, paradoxically, has elements of both bane and blessing. The emergence of a plentiful supply of cheap natural gas could cut railroad operating costs if it replaces costlier diesel fuel in locomotives; it is also, however, cutting power plant fuel costs as it replaces coal—a major blow to one of the industry’s largest sources of freight revenue.

Further erosion of the railroads’ coal market is threatened by new and lower carbon emissions permitted by the EPA. Intermodal growth has been a common thread among the Class I’s, as related by their chief financial officers at recent analyst conferences. “We are seeing continued opportunities for highway conversion, continued growth in Crescent Corridor services, growth with international shipping partners, and continued growth from new facilities, our South Carolina Inland Port, and Charlotte Terminal,” Norfolk Southern CFO Marta Stewart told the Wall Street community in May. Even the depressed coal market is exhibiting signs of waking up, with “improved demand for utility coal due to weather, stockpiles reduced from 67 to 44 days’ supply, and strong competition in the Atlantic metallurgical and thermal markets, [despite] contract losses in utility coal and reduced domestic metallurgical coal volumes related to plant closures and sourcing shifts.”

NS merchandise traffic is on the upswing as well, with “projected growth in crude oil, and increased volume for shale-related liquid petroleum gases and asphalt,” said Stewart. NS is also benefitting from “gains in steel and frac sand, a favorable corn and soybean crop for 2013/2014, an improved housing and related construction materials market, and continued automotive growth. Our automotive volume rose 7% in 2013. With average vehicle age at an all-time high, North American light vehicle production is forecasted at 17.1 million units for 2014, up 3.6% vs. last year.”

“CSX has overcome the transition in the energy markets,” said CFO Fredrik Eliasson. “This year is expected to be the last year of the coal transition. Domestic growth is now expected; export volume and price remain challenged.”

CSX’s strong first-quarter financials largely resulted from “non-coal revenue growth, inflation-plus pricing, and efficiency. Second quarter volume has accelerated, and our operations are stable, with gradual recovery expected in the second half of 2014. Our diverse portfolio is key to sustainable earnings growth—business is now the most diversified in the company’s history, and our financial outlook remains positive long-term. Expect modest EPS growth in 2014 and double-digit growth beginning in 2015.”

A significant decline in utility coal should be more than offset by gains in other areas, according to Eliasson. “Our merchandise and intermodal revenue grew $2.7 billion,” he said. “A record harvest in 2013 helped our grain markets recover. Initial 2014 crop projections are strong, with crop

A surge in traffic, including crude by rail, has created a surge in freight car orders. production constant, despite smaller corn acreage. Lower corn prices are spurring growth, and ethanol and poultry production have rebounded. Housing starts are expected to grow 12% from 2013, though expectations for 2014 are still 30% below the historical average. Housing starts drive about 6% of CSX business, through lumber and building products, agregates and waste, metals and plastics, intermodal, and household appliances.”

Like most carriers, CSX’s chemicals traffic “is driven by a surging oil and gas industry,” said Eliasson. “Our crude oil volume could double in 2014, with further growth long-term. Frac sand is expected to rise about 10% in 2014, driven by Utica shale. Metals growth is based on a 5% forecasted increase in steel production, with oil and gas plays driving demand for drilling and transmission pipe.

Automotive strength continues, with North American light vehicle production growth expected to again outpace Gross Domestic Product growth in 2014.”

New or expansion projects on CSX totaled more than 120 in 2013—about 570 during the past five years, representing 150,000 carloads once these projects are fully on-line, and nearly 620,000 over the past five years. “Our project pipeline for 2014 is healthy,” said Eliasson. “It’s driven by substantial chemical-related activity. Customer investments have totaled $15 billion since 2009, creating long-term growth.”

CSX’s hub and spoke-style intermodal network “has been a key differentiator,” said Eliasson. “It has created a broader reach into eastern U.S. markets for us. More than 125 new Northwest Ohio lanes are driving 20% of total volume growth. Our Northwest Ohio Terminal is at capacity and is July 2014 RAILWAY AGE 21

sustainable basis,” said Eliasson. “Nearly all our markets now have positive trajectory, including domestic coal. Profitable volume growth, inflation-plus pricing, and efficiency gains are driving our success.”

Union Pacific, according to CFO Rob Knight, continues to benefit from “safe and resilient infrastructure,” which is being further improved via UP’s $4.1 billion 2014 capex program. The railroad is devoting major dollars to capacity improvements on its Southern Region, and is acquiring 229 new locomotives this year and other rolling stock—a $975 million spend. PTC expenditures, at $450 million, also represent a significant chunk of capex.

22 RAILWAY AGE July 2014

UP set first-quarter records in operating revenues, income, and ratio, and in earnings, despite a challenging winter.

Knight attributes these improvements to the railroad’s “resource agility and surge capacity.” Much of this is related to intermodal, where UP sees “a significant domestic truckload conversion opportunity, and truckload opportunities in Mexico,” where UP is the only railroad serving all six major border gateways, he says. “Trucking’s traditional advantage is eroding, through regulations and rising costs, and highway congestion and infrastructure deterioration.”

And like all its Class I brethren as well as the numerous short lines and regionals that take traffic to and from the national linehaul network, UP provides “a strong value proposition.”

A FEW CAVEATS

“There’s little fault to be found in these stars,” says Cowen & Company Managing Director and Railway Age Wall Street Contributing Editor Jason Seidl. “Rail stocks have continued to advance this year, plowing through the most difficult winter weather that we have seen in decades. The strength has been partially attributable to the strong bounce-back in traffic and a slow improvement in the outlook for pricing truck-competitive business. The big debate among investors continues to be over the strength in the macro environment, and just how much of rail traffic gains can be attributed to volume pushed into second-quarter 2014 due to weather, along with intermodal volumes pulled forward anticipating a potential West Coast port strike.”

Seidl says this debate “is indeed an interesting one. When you look at the quarter-to-date traffic ending in mid-June, you will see that if we exclude coal (clearly a weather-driven commodity) and grain (very little has to do with the economy), rail volumes are up nearly 7%. This is indeed a strong showing, but is likely impacted by shippers pulling forward a portion of their intermodal moves due to fears of a West Coast port strike. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union was looking at its contract expiring at midnight on June 30th, making shippers eager to move their cargo sooner. But, even if we assume that half of container growth can be traced to shippers’ fear of a strike, quarter-todate volumes are still up roughly 5%.”

“These volume gains have come at a price, especially given that rail service problems rolled over from the first quarter,” cautions Seidl. “Indeed, some of the service issues facing the industry may not be resolved until 2015. The railroads have not been very good at handling strong spikes in demand in the past and it appears that this inability to deal with surges in traffic continues to plague them to this day. To be fair, they were dealing with harsh weather in the first quarter and now have been throwing the two Ps (people and power) at the problem, with some carriers announcing record capital spending budgets. Hence, in the near term, some railroads may not bring as much to the bottom line as they could in a more operationally sound environment.”

being expanded by 50% this year, to support new investments in Montreal and Florida markets.”

CSX says its total eastern intermodal opportunity is about nine million truckloads, reflecting truckload moves greater than 550 miles. “A significant majority overlays our intermodal network, and our H2R (highway to rail) initiative is designed to capture that growth opportunity. Capital investment will be required over time, and investments are scalable as volume increases,” said Eliasson.

Longer-term, CSX is targeting a mid-60s operating ratio.

Yet, on a brighter note, at least for investors, “it appears that the pricing environment is improving for truck-competitive freight,” says Seidl. “This improvement has been long awaited, especially in the intermodal segment that has seen its pricing growth grounded in recent years due to the lackluster truckload rate environment. However, this all changed when winter weather conditions showed just how fragile the supply/demand mix was in the truckload market. It got so bad in some areas that brokers were reporting load-to-truck ratios in the 20s. While the market has calmed down from those frantic times, it still remains pretty tight and has the ability to worsen with any future shocks. It is this ability that is letting shippers feel comfortable about signing truckload freight contracts with price increases that are in the 3% to 7% range. While we do not expect the railroads to match truckload prices one for one, we have seen some announcements for intermodal rate increases of 3% to 5%.”

“Looking out over the next year, we believe railroads will be able to grab a larger slice of the proverbial transportation pie, as the supply constraints on the truckload market do not look like they will abate any time soon,” notes Seidl. “In fact, we can state that the current driver environment is the worst we have seen over the past 20 years. Combine the driver issue with a crumbling highway infrastructure and limited funds to fix it, and the railroads look like they are going to

walk away with more business, as freight finds a way to get delivered regardless of challenges. This overall tightness in the North American supply chain should enable the rail industry to keep pricing above its cost inflation, thus moving margins higher over time. Railroads should also continue to use their free cash flows to benefit investors through share repurchases and dividend hikes. Railroad stocks will continue to be a good place for investors.”

One example: Canadian Pacific, which under CEO Hunter Harrison has seen its stock price triple. “Harrison stands by projections to double revenues in seven years, and even suggested that such projections may prove conservative,” Seidl notes. “A multitude of factors could contribute to the growth, including the economy, market share gains, and wellabove-GDP increases in various segments, namely domestic intermodal and merchandise. With domestic intermodal, while CP aims to win market share, this opportunity is somewhat limited by the fact that only 30% of CP’s domestic intermodal traffic is in competitive lanes. The bigger portion of the growth should continue to come from highway conversions. As CP and its Class I brethren continue to invest in their intermodal networks and improve service levels, more manufacturers and retailers will likely be swayed by the cost advantages and better access to capacity associated with intermodal relationships.” RA

LIGHTS, CAMERAS— MACHINE VISION! Machine vision technology offers opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of truck components.

T

ransportation Technology Center, Inc., under the Association of American Railroads Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI) Program, is leading the testing and evaluation of machine vision systems for inspecting freight equipment. Advances are being made in the inspection of railcar truck components, offering greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Three suppliers of machine vision technology are working with researchers at TTCI to facilitate the development of truck component inspection technologies. The suppliers have commercialized several truck detail modules for inspecting springs, wedges, and brake shoes. With minor modifications, these systems are proving capable of inspecting other truck components such as bearing end caps, bearing adapters, and side frames. Cameras and lights placed at axle level produce high resolution images of truck components, and algorithms within the processor analyze the images for missing or worn components. Reports are generated automatically and sent through the network interface. Figures 1 through 3 are examples of defect images from recent testing at TTCI. The probability of detection from two of the prototype

By MATT WITTE, Scientist, TTCI, for Railway Age

systems ranges from 87% to 100%, depending on the defect type. The third system is undergoing a complete hardware overhaul. Table 1 summarizes detection capability results from recent testing. Results show how often known defects were detected on a special test train. Additional detections and measurements are under development for bearing adapters, bearing condition, side frames, and axle spacing.

Finding defects is only half of the automated detection challenge. Being sure to pass every good component is often a larger challenge. Indicating a defect on a good component is known as a false detection; TTCI is investigating the rate of false detections. By monitoring the test train at the Facility for Accelerated Service Testing (FAST), the detection algorithms can be exercised repeatedly on cars with no defect conditions. If a defect indication is generated, manual inspection confirms whether a component has failed or whether the algorithm needs to be desensitized. So far, no false indications have been generated by any of the systems, but the systems do not run every algorithm every night. Continued testing is required to gain confidence in the false alarm rate.

MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY Figure 2: Broken spring unloaded and loaded.

New advances are expanding machine inspection capabilities beyond the evaluation of component condition. More sophisticated algorithms look for conditions that affect railcar dynamics. For example, comparing spring compression side-to-side gives an indication of load distribution; unequal spring compression may indicate an unbalanced load. In addition, improperly aligned axles can cause steering issues and undue track loading. Direct measurement of axle spacing with machine vision can find trucks that are not tracking properly. Also, vision analysis of casting marks on the side frames can verify proper truck build. If the frames are not matched, axle misalignment will result.

Machine vision technology generates a quantitative record with every inspection event. With manual inspection, the defect history is recorded only when the defect is discovered.

Records generated with machine vision inspection provide data that may prove useful for diagnosing failure progression or predicting maintenance intervals. Figure 4 shows wedge height measurements for successive passes of the test train at FAST, demonstrating the capability to view trends. With such a tool, it may become possible to customize maintenance intervals on a per-car basis to maximize asset life.

REBUILDING AN How BNSF is expanding its Northern Corridor to meet increasing demand.

By BRUCE E. KELLY, Contributing Editor

I

t should come as no surprise that BNSF Railway has found itself moving commerce across its Northern Corridor at levels that often exceed practical capacity.

This route was designed from the start, more than a century ago, to outperform its competitors, and to not simply reach the West Coast of America but to facilitate trade to Asia and beyond. But even James J. Hill, the “Empire Builder” of the Great Northern Railway, which now serves as the centerpiece of BNSF’s Northern Corridor network, did not foresee a time when so much containerized merchandise,

grain, coal, and now crude oil would travel his rails that passenger trains would be forced to reschedule around it.

After more than a year of routinely late service, Amtrak’s Empire Builder began operating under a modified schedule this spring in an effort to coordinate better with BNSF’s heavy traffic and ongoing track expansion work. Localized rerouting and bus substitution have also taken place. Despite what numerous headlines have said, congestion from unit crude trains is not solely to blame. Intermodal and grain, which are bread and butter to BNSF in the Northwest (representing

BNSF is moving traffic across its Northern Corridor at levels that often exceed practical capacity.

EMPIRE slightly more than half of the Northern Corridor’s daily train count), saw increases in recent months compared with the same period a year ago.

The remaining 45% or so of BNSF’s Northern Corridor trains are a mix of manifests, automobiles, coal, and crude.

There is, of course, a higher concentration of unit crude trains swarming BNSF’s trackage in the heart of Bakken shale country in North Dakota, but once they disperse toward their destinations, the number of crude trains traveling a significant distance over the Northern Corridor is small (currently one to three loaded trains to the Northwest each day) compared to the overall traffic profile. However, those crude train numbers are expected to increase as new receiving terminals come on line.

BNSF Vice President Capacity Planning and Operations Research Rollin Bredenberg says his railroad has partnered with the Great Northern Corridor Coalition, a joint venture of ports and transportation departments in eight states whose goal is “to promote regional cooperation, planning, and shared project implementation for moving freight.” Bredenberg says, “The corridor supports many products including agriculture, forest, consumer, energy, industrial, iron and steel, minerals, automotive and machinery, and aerospace. BNSF understands how trade prosperity in the Pacific Northwest is directly linked to the level of rail and roadway infrastructure serving the region. In 2013, BNSF moved 221 million tons of freight over the Northern Corridor.”

BNSF occasionally diverts excess Chicago-PNW trains to partner Montana Rail Link, adding to the regular Kansas City/Texas/Powder River Basin traffic that MRL already conveys into the Northwest for BNSF. But nearly all of the Northern Corridor’s traffic eventually comes together again at “The Funnel” (see sidebar, p. 31), a 70-mile segment between Sandpoint, Idaho, and Spokane, Wash., only 48 miles of which has two main tracks, and through which all of those BNSF/MRL trains must pass—anywhere from 50 to 70 trains, or more, per day.

Traffic growth on the Northern Corridor is coming not just from Bakken crude. The Northwest has become an increasingly popular source for fruits and vegetables that are expedited to East Coast markets. UP and Railex staked their joint claim in that business in 2006 with a 210,000-squarefoot warehouse at Wallula, Wash., which loads and unloads unit trains of refrigerated boxcars. BNSF and partner Rail Logistics took a different approach in 2010 by launching the Cold Train Express out of Quincy, Wash., which stacks refrigerated containers onto railcars for pickup by high-priority intermodal trains. Food products via Cold Train receive BNSF’s fastest service to the Midwest, and are ultimately distributed as far east as Boston. Business is now at roughly 7,000 containers annually.

The Port of Quincy built its intermodal facility in 2005 with the intention of shipping perishables, hay, and other Washington ag products west toward Pacific export. But BNSF wouldn’t commit to providing short-haul intermodal service over its steep and congested Stevens Pass route.

Long-haul to Chicago was found to be more viable. A major expansion of the Cold Train terminal is now planned, which the Port of Quincy says will include installation of three additional intermodal tracks to enable simultaneous loading and unloading of a 7,500-foot train. The Port says, “The project would also include a new track to allow trains of up to 8,000 feet to pull off of the main line at Quincy for arrival and departure in one piece, a 7,500-foot-long setout/pickup track, and expanding the terminal surface area to provide for more container storage.”

million rail-served industrial park. FCEDA says, “Although Kalispell is just off the Northern Corridor, it currently has very few locations available for new businesses requiring rail access. The FCEDA Rail Park will remedy that by creating shovel-ready sites for new and expanding businesses.” The park would attract on-site manufacturers, and also include a transload facility to serve other businesses within a 100-mile radius. FCEDA notes, “BNSF has committed $500,000 to the project and countless hours in designing the park’s infrastructure.” Kalispell lies at the end of a 14-mile branch operated

by Watco subsidiary Mission Mountain Railroad, which already moves lumber, grain, and other traffic to the BNSF interchange at Columbia Falls.

The latest fall/winter traffic surge, which was impacted by periods of extreme cold and heavy snow, magnified BNSF’s awareness of three critical issues affecting its Northern Corridor: crew availability, motive power supply, and route capacity. BNSF says the first two points are being addressed by hiring 5,000 new employees and purchasing more than 500 locomotives in 2014.

Additional locomotives are being borrowed from other railroads and from equipment leasing firms.

BNSF President and CEO Carl Ice told Railway Age in March, “More than $900 million will be invested during 2014 in expansion and maintenance in our Northern Corridor alone, which has become a significant growth corridor for many of the industries we serve.” During 2012-2013, BNSF upgraded existing sidings, added new sidings, and added yard tracks in North Dakota and eastern Montana. For 2014, much of the focus is on eastern Washington, where BNSF is adding close to 20 miles of new track in the form of sidings or second main line. All of this is follow-up to the 50-plus miles of second main track that BNSF installed in eastern Washington and northern Idaho during the late 1990s.

Laying new track wherever possible will not eliminate every capacity constraint found along the Northern Corridor.

The 7.8-mile-long Cascade Tunnel under Stevens Pass in the Washington Cascades and the 7.0-mile Flathead Tunnel in northwest Montana represent sections of single track that would be costly to duplicate or widen. Cascade Tunnel has additional capacity issues due to its steep grade and 25 mph freight speed, and also because it takes five to 30 minutes (depending on traffic direction) to ventilate the tunnel between each train.

At the northernmost point on the corridor, where BNSF follows the Kootenai River through a deep canyon, trains are limited to 30 mph across a 19-mile stretch between Yakt, Mont., and Crossport, Idaho, because of nearly constant reverse curvature. Trains can slip past each other at two sidings within this speed zone, but “The Canyon,” as it’s called by dispatchers and train crews, puts a crimp on capacity that could only be resolved by complete doubletracking (a daunting option considering the narrow right-of-way and sensitive river habitat) or by tunneling nearly three miles through solid rock to bypass the most northerly segment of this twisting main line.

Montana Rail Link via 5,547-foot Mullan Pass has 10 miles of 2.2% grade against westbounds and eight miles of 1.4% against eastbounds.

Why not gain new capacity by utilizing some of the region’s long-abandoned routes? BNSF spent nearly $150 million to restore the former NP line over Stampede Pass in 1996, creating an optional route for trains to and from western Washington. Stampede is now used to back-haul empty grain, oil, and coal trains eastward, freeing up precious space on its less-steep Pasco-Vancouver-Portland route for loaded unit trains heading west. The former SP&S route between Fish Lake (on the outskirts of Spokane) and Pasco, which BN abandoned in the late 1980s, would provide a smoother grade across eastern Washington for tonnage like grain and coal. But rather than reclaim what is now a 120-mile public trail and install new track and signals, BNSF is moving forward with the capacity it continues to create on its existing route between Spokane and Pasco.

Could BNSF do in the Montana Rockies what it did in Washington’s Cascades? Track over Homestake Pass, 10 miles east of Butte, Mont., has been out of service since 1982. It would provide a third way over the Rocky Mountains for BNSF’s east-west traffic, but it would be the toughest, and highest. BNSF’s current route via 5,213-foot high Marias Pass has a predominantly 1.0% ascending grade for westbounds and 1.8% for eastbounds. MRL via 5,547-foot Mullan Pass has 10 miles of 2.2% grade against westbounds and eight

BNSF NORTHERN CORRIDOR

FROM SANDPOINT TO SPOKANE : A TALE OF SIX RAILROADS THE FUNNEL is the product of events that happened some 40 years ago. First there was the 1970 merger that formed Burlington Northern. Then, in 1974, Spokane hosted a World’s Fair that coincided with a massive reduction and realignment of the area’s railway route structure. BN channeled traffic onto its former Northern Pacific viaduct through the city’s core.

On Spokane’s west side, the 3,900-foot-long Latah Creek Bridge, completed in 1972, connected BN’s ex-NP trackage with its former Great Northern route toward Seattle and Tacoma, and with its former Spokane, Portland & Seattle route toward Pasco, Wash., and Portland, Ore. Much of UP’s track in and around Spokane was discarded as part of the BN merger/Expo ’74 line consolidation. UP trains began operating via trackage rights on BN through the Spokane area. Now, BNSF and UP are moving more trains through Spokane than anyone apparently envisioned in the 1970s. Latah Creek Bridge has become one of the more visible aspects of this often-congested joint trackage. UP and

BNSF trains headed toward western Washington, Oregon, or California must share the single-tracked bridge with BNSF trains coming east from Seattle. Ten miles southwest of Spokane, a single-track chokepoint at the head of Marshall Canyon is a more frequent cause of backups for both BNSF and UP. BNSF is now in the initial phase of adding a second main track.

From Minneapolis to Puget Sound, GN had easier grades and curvature than NP, but between Spokane and Sandpoint, NP had the better route when it came time to merge into BN. Land adjacent to the NP at Hauser, Idaho, was acquired before the BN merger for a proposed 76-track classification yard. But economic uncertainty during the 1970s and early ’80s, along with BN’s upgrading of other yards along the Northern Corridor, left Hauser to become merely a dozen or so tracks where export grain and other trains could be staged and re-blocked. Then came 2004, when BNSF used Hauser’s strategic location to open a run-through main line refueling facility that now services roughly half its Northern Corridor trains.

miles of 1.4% against eastbounds. But Homestake Pass, elevation 6,329 feet, would force westbounds to climb 18 miles of 2.2%, and eastbounds six miles of 2.2%, with curves more frequent and tighter than either Marias or Mullan.

When Montana state officials inquired in 2012 about the chances of reopening Homestake, BNSF’s response was, “As we consider additional rail capacity, we will evaluate that line and other potential options to determine the best economical and operational alternatives to expand capacity to accommodate increased train traffic.” BNSF’s Bredenberg now tells Railway Age. “There are no plans to reopen the line at this time. Steeper and longer grades and severe track curvature increase fuel consumption and rail maintenance costs.” MRL President Thomas Walsh agrees, saying, “At this

point, we do not anticipate the opening of the line over Homestake Pass. However, in the event it was open, traffic would likely flow directionally”—meaning, trains would travel one way via Mullan Pass, and the other way via Homestake. Just not now. Not yet, anyway.

It’s been a difficult couple of years for BNSF as it races to open new lanes for traffic while its existing lanes are bursting at the seams. But any company that can afford to invest a billion dollars on expansion, and has new customers eagerly lining up at the door, must be doing something right. Once the dust from all that trackwork begins to settle, we’ll have a clearer view of a world-class railway that’s become a bigger and busier success than its original builders could have ever imagined.

LOS ANGELES: FOR RAIL, AND FOR REAL Dramatically debunking the onus of “car-culture” status, Los Angeles is on the move to move more of its area residents

By DOUGLAS JOHN BOWEN, Managing Editor with numerous rail options.

34 RAILWAY AGE July 2014

The idea of LA as a car-only metropolis is in fact “very dated,” says Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Executive Officer-Regional Rail Don Sepulveda. “If you look at the number of people who take Metrolink, and you start talking about people taking the Red Line or Expo Line, all those folks would be on the freeway.

Our freeways would be that much more crazy. You can’t ignore the data or the facts.”

LACMTA MIXES THE MODES

With growing subway and light rail lines already in place, America’s second-largest city is returning to urban rail 60 years after massive disinvestment, and LACMTA has been leading that return within Los Angeles County with a vengeance since the Blue Line opened in 1990.

Since then, the Red Line (subway) opened in 1993, linking downtown LA with North Hollywood. The Purple Line (subway) also opened in 1993, tying downtown to LA’s Mid-Wilshire District. The Green Line LRT opened in 1995,

hen Railway Age detailed the debut of Los Angeles’s 22-mile Blue Line Light Rail Transit, linking the City of Angels and Long Beach, Calif.

(RA, June 1990, p. 46), some U.S. observers, even pro-rail ones, saw the event as a novelty, with the patina of Hollywood hyping an event of questionable significance.

And many Angelinos—both those in the city itself and an expatriate or two residing on the East Coast—were equally prone to dismiss anything rail, offering comments such as, “But it doesn’t run near me” or “I won’t/can’t use it.”

How things have changed. No one would argue that the famed, historic Pacific Electric streetcar network has been replicated. But subway and light rail construction have made LA a real player among U.S. rail cities, while expanding Metrolink regional rail service has added the LA Basin to the list of metropolitan areas banking on rail for their economic future. Indeed, Metrolink seeks to break the constraints of “suburb to city” commuter service by creating markets other than a single downtown hub, key though that hub may be.

running on an east-west path between Redondo Beach and Norwalk and approaching—though not quite reaching—Los Angeles International Airport. The Gold Line’s first segment debuted in 2003, adding Pasadena to the LRT mix; ongoing work is pushing the line further east.

Most recently, Phase One of LACMTA’s Expo Line LRT began operations in 2012, linking downtown with Culver City; Phase Two construction, now ongoing, will extend the line’s reach to Santa Monica by late 2015. Two Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines (Orange and Silver) add to the mix.

Sepulveda’s job is to coordinate rail and bus urban transit, Metrolink operations, Amtrak services, and future high speed rail additions, all while communicating with (and soothing) citizens concerned with such change. “We try to involve communities to make sure a given project is understood,” he says. “You can never please everyone, but we’ve made a real strong effort.”

Spurred by a mix of funds, but notably including Measure R funding approved by county voters, “We’re essentially rebuilding the transportation network in the county,” Sepulveda says. He emphasizes the effort is not duplicating past history per se, but to bring rail transit services “up to the modern age.” Subways in LA, of course, are a relatively new phenomenon, while Sepulveda does allow that the Expo Line LRT “is essentially an old Pacific Electric [streetcar] line.”

The public seems to be pleased. Expo ridership has been “extremely successful,” Sepulveda says, contributing to total daily weekday Metro rail ridership in excess of 344,000.

METROLINK MAKES ITS MARK

Founded in 1991 and beginning revenue operations in 1992, Metrolink in 22 years has put the Los Angeles Basin on the U.S. regional rail map, with seven lines serving six California counties and brand-name awareness reaching across the

country. LACMTA funds 52% of Metrolink, with the four other agencies comprising the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) funding 48%.

In a span of 23 years, Metrolink has helped rupture the “cars only” stereotype of the Los Angeles Basin, as ridership use expands beyond traditional “suburb to downtown” commuter service.

Indeed, most Metrolink routes operate seven days a week, with only the Riverside and 91 Lines limited to weekday

In the past 23 years, Metrolink has helped rupture the “cars only” stereotype of the Los Angeles Basin. operation—and Metrolink clearly desires to expand service offerings on those two lines as well.

“I think part of our growth area is on weekends,” says Metrolink CEO Michael P. DePallo. “We’re seeing more recreational travel, trips to the beaches. Orange County is an area of growth for us.”

Metrolink’s Angels Express train, operating before and after home games of the namesake Major League Baseball team, is one such example of expanding market reach. In conjunction with LA Metro, Metrolink also operates special service to special Los Angeles Dodgers games, and offers “special service” for the interleague rivalry between the two teams.

Metrolink served 40,182 riders per day in its fiscal third quarter of 2014, which ended March 31, down slightly from the comparable FY13 quarter. Numerous outlying municipalities are clamoring for Metrolink extensions and service, which would substantially add to current operations along 512 route-miles.

Metrolink owns 343 miles of rightof-way, operating as a tenant of either Union Pacific or BNSF over other portions of its service area.

The partnerships offer big opportunities for joint cooperation, including establishing Positive Train Control (PTC) ahead of the Dec. 31, 2015 deadline imposed by Congress. The Chatswork, Calif., collision of a Metrolink and UP train in September 2008 proved a catalyst for implementation and, unlike many of its regional The LACMTA Gold Line’s first segment debuted in 2003, adding Pasadena to the LRT mix; ongoing work is pushing the line further east.

passenger brethren, Metrolink’s PTC installation is “nearly complete,” DePallo says. “We’re well along. Back in February, we partnered with BNSF with a revenue service demonstration on our 91 line.” BNSF as a partner was “very cooperative and helpful,” and the test was judged successful by both railroads.

“We start rolling out our PTC dispatch in September on the San Bernadino Line, then we’ll follow on the rest of the system,” DePallo says. “We hope to have the entire system online [with PTC] probably by January 2015, adding it line by line.” If that schedule holds, Metrolink will have PTC in place 11 months before the congressional deadline of December 31, 2015.

Metrolink also is outpacing many of its regional railroad brethren in meeting locomotive emissions standards. DePallo says the railroad’s 20 EMD F125 low-emission “Spirit” Tier IV locomotives, recently purchased, will offer higher horsepower while reducing a wide range of pollutants, including nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 85%. “We’re going to be the first to have that” among regional railroads, DePallo asserts.

Metrolink’s rail business relationships extend beyond the Class I’s. Its “Rail to Rail” joint venture with Amtrak allows riders to use trains from either railroad on the LOSSAN Corridor linking Los Angeles and San Diego, though Metrolink only extends as far south as Oceanside, Calif.

Metrolink also is cooperating with the California HighSpeed Rail Authority as the latter struggles to establish its statewide high speed rail system with its “blended approach,”

SCRRA TURNS TO JLP/STV JOINT VENTURE FOR METROLINK EXPANSION

The JLP/STV team will collaborate on various Metrolink capital and rehabilitation transportation projects in Southern California over a three-year period. Potential projects include grade crossing safety improvement, rehabilitation of track and structures, main line track and siding extensions, station construction and expansions, Los Angeles Union Station reconstruction to accommodate high speed rail, grade separations, Perris Valley Line expansions, Redlands first-mile extensions, a Raymer to Bernson double-track project, and thirdparty projects.

“Metrolink has several noteworthy projects in the pipeline and we are gratified to have the chance to work with them to fulfill their project goals,” said JLP President Jacqueline Patterson. “We are thrilled to continue our involvement with the Metrolink system and provide better transportation solutions to the citizens of Southern California.”

sharing utilities and rights-of-way with existing rail operators. “So we’ve benefitted from a number of capital projects provided through them,” DePallo says, including funds for PTC, Tier IV locomotives, and the Southern California Regional Interconnector Project (SCRIPT), designed to eliminate stub-end operations and allow through-running at Los Angeles Union Station.

UNION STATION AS TRUE UNIFIER

For city and region, Union Station, marking its 75th anniversary this year, remains a focal point for both LACMTA urban rail services and Metrolink regional rail to feed each other.

And the $350 million SCRIPT project is complementing ongoing restoration of the station itself.

Designed to increase station capacity by at least 40%, SCRIPT will rearrange the track layout by expanding entry access and replacing stub-end tracks with through-running ones, aided by a loop track to allow faster access to and from points south, north, and east of the station. Construction is set to commence in 2017.

LACMTA’S Sepulveda bluntly calls the SCRIPT project “a game changer,” noting it will increase station capacity by 50%, reduce dwell times to through trains to as little as two minutes, and assist Metrolink, Amtrak, and future CHSRA trains expected to arrive as early as 2022. At present, 170

Changes to the track layout at Los Angeles Union Station will increase service capacity by 50%.

Metrolink trains per day serve Union Station, straining capacity to the limit.

It also helps unite LACMTA and Metrolink as actual neighbors and partners in progress. “LACMTA owns Union Station; we lease space from them, along with Amtrak,” Metrolink’s DePallo says.

“We also let lease from them at Union Station; our headquarters is here.”

Sepulveda also cites 6.4 miles of doubletrack installation on the LOSSAN Corridor in the San Fernando Valley, a second platform at Van Nuys Station, and improved access to Bob Hope Airport in Burbank as three of six ongoing projects, with “seven more waiting in the wings,” all aided in large measure by Measure R funds, assisted by state high speed rail funding.

For Sepulveda, the mix of rail modes and rail carriers is a matter of maximizing “cross-pollinization” to make rail an attractive option in greater Los Angeles.

Put today’s rail riders back on the I-5 Freeway, he says, “and we have gridlock.

It’s that simple.” RA

(JULY 1914) NEW YORK WORKER’S COMP The New York State Workmen’s Compensation Law went into effect on July 1. By this law, employers of men engaged in so-called hazardous occupations—which term, under this law, includes most outdoor work on railroads—are required to pay compensation in all cases of death and injuries occurring to employees in the course of their work, disregarding the question of blame or responsibility.

Employers are required either to insure themselves … or else give to the State Workmen’s Compensation Commission satisfactory evidence of ability to pay any probable claim or claims; but it is said that all of the railroad companies of the state have thus far refrained from taking action.

Railroad Workplace Safety Standards Part 214. FRA amended regulations on railroad workplace safety. This final rule requires that roadway workers comply with specified on-track safety procedures that railroads must adopt to protect those workers from the movement of trains or other on-track equipment on ‘‘adjacent controlled track.’’ FRA defines ‘‘adjacent controlled track’’ to mean ‘‘a controlled track whose track center is spaced 19 feet or less from the track center of the occupied track.’’

These on-track safety procedures are required for each adjacent controlled track when a roadway work group with at least one ofthe roadway workers on the ground is engaged in a common task with ontrack, self-propelled equipment orcoupled equipment on an occupied track. In addition, FRA is removing the provision on preemptive effect. Scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2014.

Passenger Train Emergency Preparedness Regulations, Part 239.

FRA is amending its existing regulation. The final rule clarifies that railroad personnel who communicate or coordinate with first responders during emergency situations must receive certain initial and periodic training and be subject to operational tests and inspections related to the railroad's emergency preparedness plan and clarifies that railroads must develop procedures in their emergency preparedness plans that specifically address the safety of passengers with disabilities during actual and simulated emergency situations, such as during train evacuations. The rule also limits the need for FRA to formally approve certain purely administrative changes to approved emergency preparedness plans and requirements that operational tests and inspections be conducted in accordance with a program that meets certain minimum requirements. This rule removes the unnecessary provision discussing the preemptive effect of the regulations.

Effective date July 29, 2014.

The Locomotive Safety Standards cover the laws governing inspections and tests, brake system, draft system, suspension, electrical, cabs and cab equipment plus more!

Perspective JOHN RINARD

The Northeast Corridor has nothing on us

I

n 1866, The Rocky Mountain News reported that, “The one moral, the one remedy for every evil, social, political, financial, and industrial, the one immediate vital need of the entire Republic, is the Pacific Railroad.” Today, the same could almost be said for the LOSSAN Rail Corridor along California’s southern coast.

California is not good at keeping secrets. Yet there is a quiet revolution going on in rail. Though high speed rail garners most of the headlines, the LOSSAN Rail Corridor is quietly changing the way millions of Californians commute. And this is happening for one simple reason. For now and well into the future, the LOSSAN Rail Corridor is the most efficient, most sustainable, and most effective means for transporting southern Californians where they need to go. For that reason, the LOSSAN Rail Corridor not only deserves critical attention, it merits our wholehearted financial and political support.

A 351-mile intercity rail line, LOSSAN stretches from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles to San Diego.

Traversing six counties, it is the secondbusiest rail corridor in the nation, behind only the famed and oft-lauded Northeast Corridor.

But the Northeast Corridor now has competition. In fact, LOSSAN is so popular that one in every nine Amtrak riders uses it. Boasting more than 41 stations and more than 150 daily passenger trains, LOSSAN has a growing ridership of more than 2.7 million on Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner intercity trains and 4.5 million on Metrolink and Coaster commuter trains, rail lines that also comprise LOSSAN. However, the benefits of LOSSAN extend well beyond its riders.

There is no shortage of cars on Southern California freeways. And as anyone who has driven those freeways

48

RAILWAY AGE

July 2014

can attest, those roads are at or near capacity much of the time.

Building new freeways and widening the ones we have are not options. But we must increase capacity. LOSSAN does just that.

For example, estimates show that Metrolink users in the Los Angeles area take the equivalent of one lane off the busy I-5 corridor alone. Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner removes the equivalent of 168 million vehicle-miles traveled each year off Southern California roads. For capac-

The Los AngelesSan Diego rail corridor is the nation’s secondbusiest, behind only the NEC. ity alone, LOSSAN is worth it. But there are greater benefits still.

Rail is a greener, more sustainable transportation mode than cars. Taking cars off the road also means reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The Pacific Surfliner alone reduces CO2 emissions by 27,000 tons each year.

And as ridership increases, so do the reductions in GHG emissions. And that’s only one example.

But there’s a bigger point here.

California’s population isn’t shrinking.

According to U.S. Census projections, the six-county area LOSSAN serves will grow from 17.4 million people to just over 21 million by 2030. So LOSSAN’s value and importance will only increase.

In August 2013, the LOSSAN board of directors selected the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to serve as the local managing agency to oversee intercity rail service on the LOSSAN Corridor under the joint powers authority agreement. As such, OCTA will use its depth and experience to provide all necessary administrative and operational support required to run the corridor effectively. A smart strategic move, this allows the corridor to seek funding and improve service with a unified voice. And that is where we all come in.

LOSSAN can benefit from a number of strategic improvements. From integrated and coordinated operations to one-seat, seamless rail travel, to an integrated fare system, to expanded service throughout the Southland, LOSSAN is seeking to create a world-class intercity rail system, as detailed in its LOSSAN Corridor Strategic Implementation Plan. We in the rail industry know well why this is a vital and important document. But knowing is not enough.

We need to engage the general public and gain their support for this vital piece of transportation. We must help the LOSSAN Corridor receive the funding and political support it needs to expand strategically to better serve Southern California riders.

In the 19th century, many believed the railroad was the one remedy to fix the Republic. On a smaller scale, the LOSSAN Rail Corridor is a powerful answer to the conundrum of expanding capacity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Southern California.

John Rinard, CEO of Anaheim-based Willdan Infrastructure, has led complex infrastructure construction projects including the Alameda Transportation Corridor and portions of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s Metrolink system.

PERFECT PELLETS POINT A TO POINT B Weather is one of the worst threats to any shipment of plastic pellets. It can cause costly contamination that can ruin your product. These expensive little pellets are manufactured to strict formulations and any elements like dirt, moisture or plant matter can very easily spoil everything. Greenbrier takes this very seriously.

Our large covered hopper rail car is optimally designed and built to protect against even the smallest product contamination.

This 6,250 cubic foot capacity rail car is specially lined, which make it ideally suited for the storage and transportation of plastics, resin, and other free-flowing, light-density products.

This double feature gets two thumbs up. The husband and wife team premiered at ORX three years ago to stellar reviews. He’s all about innovation. She’s all about organization. But together, they share the same focus - keep everything running smoothly, efficiently and right on schedule. Two different roles, one great performance.
