Plump, Content, and Slow?

A

ctually, the headline from the Fre i g h t w ave s . com e-newsletter, What the Truck? (gee, that’s original—not!) was “Fat, Happy and Slower Than Ever.” But this is Railway Age. We’re expected to be a little less in-your-face. Most of all, we’re expected to know what we’re talking about (well, most of the time). “There’s a curious contradiction in the financial and performance data provided by railroads and the analysts who study them,” Freightwaves.com said. “One statistic, average absolute network velocity, paints a portrait of an industry deep in crisis: Average train speed has fallen to less than 22.5 mph ... the slowest it’s been in a decade. The railroads are struggling to fulfill their service obligations, causing customers’ plants to shut down, massive spikes in the costs of critical commodities, and arbitrarily parking their trains in residential areas, blocking neighborhoods. “On the other hand, there’s a financial metric that contradicts the thesis of a dysfunctional industry letting its service, infrastructure, and safety practices deteriorate year after year: the operating ratio… Large trucking carriers typically see operating ratios in the mid to low 90s or high 80s… You’d think that railroads would have similar operating ratios—like truckload carriers, railroads are exposed to the same sorts of fuel price risks, they operate

a large number of expensive machines that they use as much as possible, and unlike trucking, the railroads have a largely unionized workforce. But you’d be wrong.” (What are those ORs? CSX: 63.7%. Union Pacific: 64.6%. Kansas City Southern: 65.8%. Canadian Pacific: 67.5%. CN: 67.8%. BNSF: 67.9%. Norfolk Southern: 69.3%. This is bad?) “One of the reasons why railroads are so flush with cash at the moment is that truckload prices are so high,” said Freightwaves. com. “The railroads are raising prices right alongside truckers, just because they can.” Huh? What the Truck, what are you talking about? “An industry deep in crisis?” “Deteriorating service, infrastructure and safety practices?” “Raising prices just because they can?” Who came up with these simplistic observations? A high school student studying Economics 101 with a 1970s textbook? Investors, especially the activist types (you know how I feel about those people) love those below-70 ORs. Sure, we’ve got some problems. Perhaps our trains are too long. Perhaps we pay way too much attention to Wall Street. Perhaps we’ve gotten a bit too cost-cut-happy. Perhaps we suffer from NIHS (Not Invented Here Syndrome). But a dysfunctional industry? I don’t think so. See p. 27.

Industry Indicators Railroads On A Roll The U.S. economy is clicking right now, writes the Association of American Railroads, and Class I railroads are both beneficiaries and enablers of that. In May 2018, originated carloads on U.S. railroads were up 3.2% over May 2017, the third straight month with year-over-year growth greater than 3%. In May 2018, 15 of the 20 commodity categories the AAR tracks saw higher carloads, including nearly all the major categories. Total carloads averaged 263,884 in May 2018, the most for May since 2015. Commodities with big year-over-year gains included crushed rock, sand, and gravel (thanks to frac sand, May 2018 was the best month in history for this category); chemicals; coal, and petroleum products.

Industry Outlook

BNSF GEVO 8131, sporting a PTC antenna array on its cab roof, leads a unit CBR train.

BNSF: We’re Ready— and Waiting for You BNSF announced in December 2017 that it had fully installed and was operating under Positive Train Control (PTC) on all mandated subdivisions in advance of the Dec. 31, 2018 interim federal deadline. However, on June 13, it submitted a request to the Federal Railroad Administration for an alternative schedule, a two-year extension to Dec. 31, 2020, because “full implementation status cannot be achieved until all non-BNSF trains and/or equipment operating on its PTC-equipped lines are also PTC-compliant.” “BNSF has succeeded in the adoption of this key safety technology,” said Chris Matthews, Assistant Vice President, Network Control Systems. “Even with this request for a deadline extension, BNSF’s PTC network is fully installed, and we are currently running, and will continue to run, more than 1,000 trains daily with PTC as we continue to refine the system and resolve all technological challenges.” BNSF completed installation of all mandated PTC infrastructure at the end of 2017, including 88 required subdivisions covering more than 11,500 route-miles on its network. “However, to be considered fully 6 Railway Age // July 2018

implemented requires that all other railroads operating across any of BNSF’s PTC-equipped lines must be capable of operating with BNSF’s PTC system,” the railroad said. “This interoperability of PTC systems between Class I, commuter and short line rail carriers remains a challenge.” BNSF said it has “successfully demonstrated interoperability with several railroads that operate on its network, including commuter railroads and Amtrak. However, not all railroads that operate on BNSF will have completed their PTC installation by the end of 2018.” Amtrak, working with BNSF, the week of June 11 implemented PTC on BNSF-owned subdivisions that host the Southwest Chief and California Zephyr, marking the first activation on host-owned territory used by Amtrak. Full PTC activation on BNSF routes that host these two long-distance trains is expected by the end of August. “This is a great step for Amtrak,” said Matthews. “We have the infrastructure in place that allows Amtrak to operate on our network. We have partnered with them on the federal mandate and in some cases have gone beyond the federal mandate.”

A June report from PFL Petroleum Services, a full-service railcar company covering the North American rail market, says that CBR (crude by rail) is growing in the U.S. and Canada, albeit with some short-term headwinds. “The biggest news that will create headwinds for CBR in the short term is that Canadian basis for heavy [crude] tightened,” PFL said. “Canadian crude oil surged by nearly $13 a barrel after Enbridge, the country’s biggest oil export pipeline operator, said it will not make oil producers stick to crude allocation limits. Enbridge told oil producers that, beginning in July, they would have the right to allocations based on a 12-month rolling average, plus an additional 15% for heavy crude and 40% for light crude, but for any volumes above that they would have to present physical proof. “After discussions with its shippers, Enbridge decided to drop the new rule and leave producers to reserve as much pipeline capacity on the main line as they wish. Enbridge’s main line system continues to be oversubscribed. The WCS-WTI spread is now 37% tighter than it was previously. We view this as an incremental negative for Canadian CBR opportunities in the short term; with new production continually coming on line we anticipate that basis to widen yet again and rail as the only viable option until new pipeline capacity is added. “CBR out of Canada on Canadian Pacific is up 35% and continues to climb as does CN’s crude volume. CBR in the U.S. also continues to grow, and we are seeing demand for cars pretty much everywhere across the board. “Is rail inflation on the way? You betcha! Higher fuel costs and higher wages across the board due to a tight labor market for specialty trades is going to hit the pocketbook of all shippers as those costs, in our opinion, will soon be passed on. Our advice: Lock in your prices today; it certainly is not going to get any cheaper.” railwayage.com

Completion of the planned merger between Siemens’ Mobility division and Alstom could be delayed until some time during the first half of 2019 due to the time needed to prepare for regulatory approval from competition authorities in several countries. Alstom shareholders were expected to approve the merger at a meeting this month.

CANADA: The western Port of Prince Rupert and DP World have agreed on terms of a project development plan detailing the DP World Prince Rupert Fairview Container Terminal’s next phase of expansion to boost annual throughput at the country’s second-largest container terminal to 1.8 million TEUs when completed in 2022. ILLINOIS: The Illinois Department of Transportation in June awarded $241 million to 23 state freight projects. The largest award of $49.9 million went to the Chicago Department of Transportation to help fund the Columbus Avenue & Belt Railway Company of Chicago Grade Separation project. The Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis intermodal facility in East St. Louis is receiving $1.93 million. RALEIGH: Amtrak was scheduled to open the new $111 million downtown Raleigh (N.C.) Union Station this month. The city’s passenger traffic totaled 151,000 for the year ending Sept. 30, 2017, making it the second-busiest station in North Carolina after Charlotte. Amtrak in June added

another roundtrip Piedmont train between Raleigh and Charlotte, making four for that service and a total of 10 trains a day. The Federal Transit Administration has made available $25.8 million in competitive grant funds to support TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) projects, the purpose of which is “to integrate land use and transportation planning efforts along eligible transit projects.” The city of NASHUA, N.H. has contracted with engineerign consultant AECOM to study the restoration of commuter rail, needed infrastructure upgrades, and how to pay for it. Milwaukee streetcar The Hop took delivery of its second vehicle from builder Brookville Equipment Corp. The 67-foot long, 83,000-pound vehicle is part of an ordered fleet of five streetcars. The 2.5mile system, costing $128 million, is scheduled to open in November and will connect the Milwaukee Intermodal Station to the proposed Couture high-rise and connect Downtown to the Lower East Side and Historic Third Ward neighborhoods. railwayage.com

CN, CP

ailroad grain transportation in Canada has been heavily regulated, with a federally imposed cap on rates determined by a Maximum Revenue Entitlement formula.

A significant change to the formula through the Canadian government’s passage of the Transportation Modernization Act, Bill C-49, has raised the cap, providing CN and Canadian Pacific the needed revenue to begin modernizing their grain hopper fleets and accommodate increasing annual Western Canadian crop yields. Both carriers have placed large orders with National Steel Car, Hamilton, Ont., for new railcars whose design is shorter (55-foot, 8-inches vs. 59 feet, about 5%) and lighter, but with 15% greater cubic volume and 10% greater load weight (102 tonnes vs. 93 tonnes), than the cars being replaced. Of 5,431-cubic-foot capacity, these cars feature a three-pocket design that can be loaded and unloaded more efficiently than the old four-pocket government cars. Shorter frames enable more cars in a train of the same length. CN has ordered 1,000 cars; deliveries will occur over the next two years. Its 12,000-car Western Canadian grain fleet is comprised of CN-owned hoppers, leased cars and 10 Railway Age // July 2018

customer-owned equipment with an average age of more than 30 years. Canadian Pacific, which also placed an initial 1,000-car order with NSC, plans to invest more than a half-billion dollars in nearly 6,000 of these type cars, and expects to place more than 500 in service before the end of 2018, increasing capacity of its unit grain trains. CP’s order comes as the railroad is working toward an 8,500-foot-long, power-on consist model for its unit grain trains. Under this model, CP’s unit grain trains will increase from the current 112-car maximum to 118 cars within the current 7,000-foot length, a per-train capacity increase of 16%. CP said it will eventually be able to fit 147 of the new cars within an 8,500-foot train design, a 44% increase in size. National Steel Car Chairman and CEO Gregory J. Aziz said the company will hire more than 300 new full-time employees in Hamilton, bringing the number of new jobs to more than 550. The facility currently employs more than 1,500. “This translates into more opportunity for the movement of grain in the future, supporting the anticipated continued growth in crop production across the prairies,” CP said. “The future of grain at CP is

one of increasing efficiency that will benefit grain shippers, farmers, port terminals and CP’s network.” “For more than 100 years, grain has been embedded in CP’s DNA,” said CP President and CEO Keith Creel. “We know farmers depend on us to transport their product efficiently, safely and reliably to market. It’s the largest sector of CP’s business by revenue, and we’re committed to continuous improvement for the benefit of our customers and the North American economy. These new railcars will revitalize our fleet and help cement our status as an industry leader in grain transportation for decades to come.”

Update

Connecticut Bets Big with Hartford Line 46-minute trip to 16 roundtrip weekday trains, for $8 one-way. (Twelve trains will run daily to Springfield.) The project’s funding originated in 2008 as part of President Barack Obama’s stimulus package, for a total cost of $769 million, all of it publicly funded. Engineering consultant WSP USA served as program manager. The annual state subsidy for the line will total $21.7 million, with a total annual operating cost of $23 million. The project attracted major rail transit design and construction players including HNTB, STV, Michael Baker International, AECOM, Judlau Contracting, Louis Berger, and National Railway Equipment Co. The operator is a joint venture of Herzog’s Transit America Services and Alternate Concepts. Other partners include the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State of Vermont, Federal Railroad Administration, and Amtrak.

Stuart Chirls

If it takes money to make money, then Connecticut has pushed all its chips into the rail transit pot. The state, with help from the U.S. Department of Transportation, is making a $769 million bet that the New HavenHartford corridor can lure commuters to the rails, boost development, and again make the inland route a key link in the region’s transportation network. Ten years in the making, service on the newly-named CTrail Hartford Line got under way June 16 running along the I-91 corridor from New Haven to the capitol at Hartford, and on to Springfield, Mass. Built at a cost of $769 million, including $564 million from the state and $204.8 in federal funding, the project added three new stations, five interlockings, upgraded approximately 70 miles of track while increasing service frequency on the six-stop,

Planners took into account rail freight activity along the line. Genesee & Wyoming’s Connecticut Southern Railroad switches a number of customers for commodities including paper, pulp, construction debris, and lumber. Hartford’s Bradley International Airport and the Army National Guard’s Camp Hartell in Windsor Locks are also customers. It interchanges with CSX in Springfield and New Haven; Central New England Railroad and Providence & Worcester in Hartford, and Pan Am Southern in Berlin. The latter maintains operations and trackage rights on the line, interchanging with CSX and Providence & Worcester in New Haven. Even as the CTrail special arrived at Hartford Union Station, Amtrak continued to run a test train led by a former Metroliner at speeds up to the route’s 110 mph limit. The state’s trains will run at a maximum 79 mph, limited by the pair of four-car sets leased from Massachusetts and powered by the CTDOT’s roster of EMD GP40-2H diesel locomotives, which are being overhauled by National Railway Equipment. Officials said all-new rolling stock is expected to come online in three to five years, though orders have yet to be written. Amtrak currently operates nine daily trains between New Haven and Springfield: seven Shuttles, along with the daily Vermonter and Northeast Regional services. Planners forecast traffic of 1,800-2,000 passengers daily, and also see CTrail as a critical link for potential commuter traffic into New York City via New Haven. The project has already attracted substantial residential and business transit-oriented development (TOD).

Update UTLX Expanding Repair Capability in Kansas Union Tank Car Co. is expanding its railcar repair facility in El Dorado, Kan.. The largest manufacturer, lessor, and maintainer of tank cars in North America, Chicago-based UTLX plans to add more repair capabilities to the facility, and create 70 new jobs. The El Dorado facility, originally built by UTLX in the early 1960s, is situated on 40 acres of land adjacent to BNSF. Increasing repair capabilities along the BNSF will provide UTLX customers with easier access to repair services near the geographic center of the country. El Dorado generally services railcars from customers with tank cars in ethanol service, and hopper cars moving grain and other food-grade products. Expanded capabilities, including exterior blast and paint operations, will serve a broader spectrum of cars from customers’ fleets. UTLX will also update all aspects of the shop’s infrastructure, including buildings, utilities, and track. The location is certified by the Association of American Railroads to perform all railcar-related maintenance activities, including tank qualifications, valve removal and replacement, valve rebuilding and general mechanical repairs. “This expansion project has been thoughtfully planned because we see so much more potential to help customers in the Midwest by growing our repair capabilities in El Dorado,” said Neil Finn, General Manager of Shop Operations at UTLX. “We value being part of the El Dorado community, and our team is excited to help further the Kansas economy through these facility changes.” The Kansas Department of Commerce is working with UTLX to assist in the expansion through various tax incentives. UTLX is dedicated to expanding employment in the El Dorado area and foresees hiring approximately 70 new employees over the next few years. The company will also utilize training resources from the department to equip the local UTLX workforce with the best possible on-the-job knowledge, for safe and efficient railcar repair practices. UTLX expects the expansion to be completed by early 2019.

opportunities for organizations across the transportation industry to unlock the power of real-time device processing and optimization,” GE said. “These robust new capabilities expand EdgeLINC™’s core functionality and allow a broader ecosystem of developers and users to leverage the possibilities of edge-to-cloud connectivity and real-time event streaming,” said GE Transportation Chief Digital Officer Laurie Tolson. “EdgeLINC™ has also been updated to include pre-packaged event streaming rules for freight train operations covering fuel management, excess idle, geozoning and customer notification systems, representing pressing business challenges.” Adding support for Kontron and MEN Micro’s transportation devices “strengthens EdgeLINC™’s device ecosystem and further demonstrates its device-agnostic usability,” GE noted. “Through the combined strengths of these device manufacturers and cloud capabilities, customers will be able to achieve faster time to market by taking advantage of EdgeLINC™’s broad deployment options and user-friendly device interface and management features; support a wider range of connected devices using the new SDK and enable deployments with high reliability; and attain rapid time-to-business value by leveraging EdgeLINC’s native SAS® Event Stream Processing to develop rules and operational alerts.” EdgeLINC™, now being deployed on more than 1,000 GE locomotives, is described as “a comprehensive edge device lifecycle management platform providing IIoT connectivity and data flow management, device management, and, using the SAS® Event Stream Processing engine, streaming analytics at the edge and the back office. It provides for off-board monitoring of device health, device configuration and streaming analytics, enabling real-time data processing and optimization. EdgeLINC™ allows organizations to maximize investments in IIoT systems and harness data and insights to drive significant improvements in asset performance and operational efficiency. It will drive productivity by consolidating the management of multiple devices and applications, as well as generate operational efficiencies from real-time analytics of train crew performance.” railwayage.com

Watching Washington

Amtrak: A Marx Brothers Revival

W

hen everybody owns something, nobody accepts accountability or responsibility. Such is the circumstance of Amtrak, a near-50year-old orphan wandering in a public policy wilderness, dependent on grudgingly provided public assistance often provided with conditions and objectives so conflicted as to suggest a Marx Brothers comedy. Although created as a “for-profit” corporation, Amtrak instead has absorbed some $41 billion in federal subsidies since its creation in 1971. In 1978, the policy deceit evident, Congress redirected Amtrak to be “operated and managed” as if it were a forprofit corporation. An obedient Amtrak Board of Directors subsequently told Congress that Amtrak was on a “glide path” to operating selfsufficiency—but was contradicted by the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Inspector General (IG), who identified growing losses and debt that had tripled. Amtrak’s own IG, who reports to Amtrak’s board and lacks the independence afforded the DOT IG, who is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, was silent. Similarly, it was the U.S. General Accountability Office that revealed allegations that the railroad’s chief engineer awarded a neighbor $2 million in “personal services consultant” fees. The Washington Post exposed a possible engineering flaw involving Acela Express trainsets. Shockingly, Amtrak’s internal controls remain scandalous two decades later, even though its IG has a $23 million budget. In

AMTRAk claims L-D trains

LOSE $500

million

ANNUALly 16 Railway Age // July 2018

2016, Amtrak’s top cop resigned, following the awarding of a contract to a consultant with whom the police chief cohabitated. Recently, Amtrak replaced full-service dining cars with cold-served meals-in-a box following a 2015 congressional directive to cease subsidizing food service—but Amtrak and its IG still ignore a 1997 congressional instruction to outsource food and beverage service to more-efficient private vendors. As Amtrak does not use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), its financial reports are suspected as dodgy. Amtrak asserts its long-distance trains lose $500 million annually, yet they utilize infrastructure owned, maintained and renewed by host freight railroads to whom Amtrak pays relatively low user fees. Foggy is how Amtrak assigns joint and common costs among its diverse lines of business. On the Northeast Corridor (NEC), Amtrak brags of dominating the air/rail market, ignoring bus operators that increasingly poach Amtrak passengers by offering lower fares, more frequent departures and competitive trip times. Now simmering is Amtrak’s threat to annul long-distance trains hosted by freight railroads on routes where Positive Train Control (PTC) is not fully operational by a statutory installation interim deadline of Dec. 31. Critics allege an Amtrak ruse, as time-honored Federal Aviation Administration risk assessment procedures and FRA safety protocols govern non-PTCcompliant routes. Moreover, Amtrak makes no threat to halt service on the Amtrakowned, dispatched and heavily congested NEC, where numerous segments are non-PTC-compliant. What Amtrak President David Gunn lamented in 2005 remains spot-on: America lacks “a coherent plan for intercity passenger rail.” The current political climate chokes consensus-building on multi-modal infrastructure investments and is particularly unfriendly toward Amtrak. A recent Senate-confirmed addition to the Amtrak board is a former Republican congressman who twice voted to defund Amtrak. There are private-sector alternatives that may bridge the philosophical gulf. For example, the NEC—owned by Amtrak

reform requires transparent congressional involvement.” under a 900-year, no interest, no-principalpayment mortgage—could be separated from Amtrak, which would become a train operating company, with NEC access opened for private sector competition. One such proposal awaiting congressional hearings is AIRNet-21, whereby a private-sector management organization would lease the NEC and self-finance expansion and renewal, earning a profit through commercial development and assessment of statutorily established and federally regulated market-based user charges on passenger and commuter train operators. Also, Congress could jump-start, perhaps with a tax incentive, a so-far unused provision of the 2015 Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act permitting private-sector operation of up to three Amtrak long-distance routes—a provision Amtrak allegedly is seeking to thwart by squeezing access to Chicago Union Station (Watching Washington, June 2018). Amtrak reform requires unrelenting and transparent congressional involvement, not perpetuation of a status quo suggestive of the slumbering hotel management indifferent to malfeasance and misfeasance in the Marx Brothers slapstick comedy, The Cocoanuts.

OUR MAN on the

HILL

All photos: AAR

By William C. Vantuono, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Ed Hamberger’s 20-year legacy at the Association of American Railroads. railwayage.com

T

ransition never comes easy at an organization where the outgoing leader has a record of accomplishments that is virtually unparalleled. For the Association of American Railroads, filling the shoes of President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger, a man who is not only highly respected but also well-liked

among his colleagues and peers, will be, to say the least, a difficult undertaking. Let’s hope that executive search firm Korn Ferry is up to the task of finding a worthy successor to the man who came to the AAR 20 years ago with “the equivalent of a master’s degree in transportation economics and policy,” according to Capitol Hill Contributing Editor Frank N. Wilner (p. 22). July 2018 // Railway Age 19

Hamberger will be stepping down in early 2019. Until then, his mission is to ensure a smooth transfer of the throttle. “As chief of the AAR, Ed has been the face of the freight rail industry in Washington D.C. for 20 years,” Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) tells Railway Age. “Throughout his tenure, I have collaborated closely with him, first as a Member, then as Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, and now as T&I Chairman. Ed and I have worked across the years on a breadth of freight and passenger rail-related issues. And while we have not agreed on every policy matter, Ed has always interacted with Congress as a fair partner and a forceful advocate. Whether appearing before my Committee as an expert witness or meeting with lawmakers one-on-one, Ed has regularly demonstrated an unmatched command of the issues that impact the rail industry and, by extension, the myriad industries that rely on a vital and viable freight rail industry. Because of his knowledge, coupled with his personable style, he is that rare commodity in Washington: an expert that has earned the respect of members from both major political parties.” “Fair partner and forceful advocate.” We could conclude this article on that note.

From retired Georgetown Railway Equipment Executive Chairman Chris Aadnesen: “The industry has succeeded in part because Ed Hamberger has done such a superb job as the industry’s chief spokesperson and interlocutor with regulators and Congress. When issues have emerged that

“Ed has always interacted with Congress as a fair partner and forceful advocate.” have threatened the industry’s viability and health, one certainty is that Ed would make the rounds in Washington and educate government leaders about the issues and their potential impact. “Railroad suppliers have known for as long as Ed has been leading the AAR that their interests were being promoted by one of the most effective communicators in the

nation’s capital. Just one example is Ed’s success in educating government leaders about the breadth of the high-tech nature of the freight rail industry and its extensive innovations in the area of safety. “Ed’s success stems from his inclusivity and mastery of the facts. He works tirelessly to build coalitions while mustering the strongest data and most persuasive arguments to make the industry’s case. Data and coalition-building only partially explain his effectiveness. Whether on camera or testifying before a congressional committee, Ed’s personable and collegial style shines through. The industry relies on him for advice and counsel, as do lawmakers. That is a rarity and a measure of his abilities.” Union Pacific Chairman, President and CEO Lance Fritz points to several accomplishments: “When the Surface Transportation Board was considering proposals that would have capped railroad revenue and left railroads with much less money to expand and modernize, Ed led industry negotiations with Congress on economic regulation legislation, resulting in the successful passage of the 2015 STB Reauthorization Act, the first reauthorization of the Board since its creation in 1996. The bill was a consensus product that maintained a balanced economic rail regulatory railwayage.com

cover story FIRST AND FOREMOST A Railroad Servant Serendipity and ability boosted AAR’s chief. BY FRANK N. WILNER, CAPITOL HILL CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

F

or politics, railroads and a talented young attorney, the 1970s were tumultuous, transitional and serendipitous. Seven Northeast railroads and several in the Midwest were insolvent. Federally owned Amtrak was created to abate the cash drain on privately owned railroads then operating money-losing passenger trains. From the dregs of the Northeast insolvents, Congress created a then-nationalized Conrail, and commenced lessening smothering economic regulation made obsolete by the evolution of federally aided modal competition As a Washington scandal labeled Watergate enveloped President Richard Nixon, fellow Republican and Senate Minority Leader Hugh D. Scott Jr. of Pennsylvania broke ranks with his party and urged Nixon to resign, with Scott choosing not to seek re-election. This confluence of Watergate and a national railroad crisis proved serendipitous for a young Capitol Hill climber with degrees in foreign service and law from Georgetown University. The die was cast when Congress created a National Transportation Policy Study Commission (NTPSC), whose purpose was to make “a full and complete investigation” of public policy affecting transportation. Second-term Pennsylvania House Republican Elmer G. (Bud) Shuster was appointed NTPSC chairman and followed Sen. Scott’s urging to name the senator’s soon-to-be-jobless legislative aide, Pottsville, Pa., native Edward R. Hamberger, as NTPSC General Counsel and Director of Public Participation. When the 528-page NTPSC report was issued in mid-1979, Hamberger had completed the equivalent of a master’s degree in transportation economics and policy. He also forged treasured professional relationships with Shuster and another future chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure (T&I) Committee—NTPSC member Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-Minn.). As for the NTPSC report Hamberger helped craft, it advocated many of the partial economic deregulation recommendations later embodied in the bipartisan-supported 1980 Staggers Rail Act; and suggested that rail-competitive barges and trucks utilizing taxpayer-improved rights-of-way pay increased user charges matching cost responsibility. His NTPSC work complete, Hamberger earned Shuster’s recommendation to

22 Railway Age // July 2018

become House Republican Policy Committee Staff Director, followed by several years in private law practice. In 1988, President Reagan nominated Hamberger for Senate confirmation as Assistant Secretary of Government Affairs at the Department of Transportation (DOT). Following Hamberger’s DOT service, W. Lee Rawls—later Chief of Staff to then FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III—recruited Hamberger as managing partner of a lobbying firm whose partners included former Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr. (R-Tenn). Clients included BNSF Railway. Baker, Reagan’s White House Chief of Staff when Hamberger was nominated to the DOT post, and renowned during his Senate years for brokering bipartisan compromise, mentored Hamberger in the art, and subsequently endorsed him for what would be the self-actualization of Hamberger’s talents and potentialities— President and CEO of the Association of American Railroads. Created during the Great Depression, the AAR was, said an early president, “a common agency for doing things that have to be done.” As the AAR board of directors interviewed Hamberger in 1998, his articulation of legislative and regulatory issues was termed “extraordinary.” Since the retirement of William H. Dempsey six years earlier, short-term AAR presidents had roamed the wilderness, sorely missing the proficiencies and charisma Dempsey demonstrated during his 14 years at the AAR helm following a decade as the industry’s chief labor negotiator. Dempsey’s accomplishments were exceptional: The Staggers Rail Act; firsttime imposition of user charges for barge operators; higher truck user charges and blunting of efforts to increase maximum allowable truck size and weight; a tax-law change delivering railroads a $2.5 billion cash-flow benefit; a financial strengthening and restructuring of the Railroad Retirement system; and successfully defending against perennial stabs by shippers to undue rail regulatory freedoms. Hamberger, in his 20 years as AAR chief executive—the longest service of any before him—evoked a second-coming of Dempsey. Hamberger’s successful defense of partial economic deregulation was particularly remarkable, as railroads had regained a financial health not seen since well before the advent of pervasive truck competition—if ever. As shippers reacted by seeking a regulatory cap on

further rate increases, Hamberger superintended a fruitful retort that achieving revenue adequacy is not, in itself, justification for renewed regulatory shackles. Before Congress, his skills shined. That for 12 of his 20 years as AAR head, the chairmen of the House T&I Committee were either Bud Shuster, Jim Oberstar, or Bud’s son, Bill, should not be assumed a reason for success. Indeed, in the Senate, Section 16 of the 2015 Surface Transportation Board (STB) Reauthorization Act was stealthily amended in committee—over objections of some shippers. Railroads allege the change allows the STB to utilize “replacement cost methodologies” when evaluating current and future railroad revenue adequacy needs. The STB has not yet ruled on the issue. Equally shocking to shippers was Hamberger’s hiring in 2013 of a policy adviser to Senate Commerce Committee Democrats—the rub being that shippers considered that Senate aide a trusted conduit for their confidential legislative agenda. Respect for research data is another strength. When the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), at rail labor’s behest, proposed mandating minimum train crew size, Hamberger used a public hearing to challenge a dearth of reliable data. FRA officials scrambled to change the subject, peppering him with questions on blocked grade crossings. Hamberger responded, “I thought this was a hearing on the twoperson crew rule. I did not know I was at a blocked-crossings hearing.” The flawed proposal descended into the dust bin of history. Under the theory that when the answer is longer than the question, you lose, Hamberger clearly, concisely and convincingly clarified lawmaker misunderstanding of Positive Train Control, averting for the industry unrealistic congressional demands and penalties. Long-time Hamberger adversary Robert G. Szabo, who led the now-shuttered Consumers United for Rail Equity (CURE), said: “Ed was a worthy adversary who knew how to marshal the great political power of the railroads against any threat. I say with some regret that he was highly successful in his leadership against all efforts on behalf of rail shippers.” A rail attorney, asking not to be identified, said as praise: “Ed Hamberger never lost the fact that he was first and foremost a railroad servant.”

Ed successfully demonstrated that PTC was not a narrow freight railroad issue, but rather a widespread national issue that was threatening to disrupt the economy and impact the financial welfare of numerous industries dependent on rail. In the end, his leadership helped secure a multiyear extension that provides adequate time for full PTC implementation by railroads. “Ed has been a tireless safety advocate. For many years running, he and colleagues across several industries have been fighting for higher safety standards for the rail tank cars that transport dangerous and flammable liquids, such as crude oil and ethanol.

MIDYEAR REPORT

Service,

“S”

With a Capital By Todd Tranausky, Senior Transportation Analyst, FTR Associates

he railroad industry’s ability to improve the service levels it provides to customers will set the tone for whether they are able to take advantage of many golden opportunities in the year ahead. But it also presents an impediment that must be overcome if they are to take market share from other modes and overcome possible headwinds from U.S. government policies. Sustained tight truck capacity is likely to cause many shippers to explore a larger use of rail carload and intermodal service to offset the constraints they are feeling in other parts of their supply chain over the

26 Railway Age // July 2018

next year or so. Some shippers feel the railroads did little to help them compete on rates in the most recent downturn, and railroads have been slow to bring railcars out of storage in the present market, making them a less reliable supply chain partner than truckers. Railroads will need to address their service woes to attract additional traffic in many segments, such as pulp and paper, while also marketing more directly to carload and intermodal customers. Carriers for their part are working to address the resource constraints that have contributed to the extended service degradation. They are actively hiring

across their networks, but the same strong economy that has supported volume has meant that carriers have had difficulties attracting employees. In many markets, railroads are offering significant signing bonuses to attract new talent after previously furloughed employees have found other employment. This has extended the amount of time it is taking to restore service levels, as the carriers must fully train and qualify the new hires, instead of a much simpler refresher process when they bring furloughed workers back. It takes railroads anywhere from six to nine months from the time a new hire walks in the door until they can productively railwayage.com

Opportunities abound, but they won’t materialize unless service levels improve.


MIDYEAR REPORT move shippers’ freight, and it is this lag that has helped to extend the slow restoration of service levels. Carriers will over time restore their service to a point that shippers will embrace them, because it is in their business interest to do so. However, it is only by demonstrating to shippers that they are able to deliver consistent, reliable service that railroads will consistently compete for manifest shipper’s business and in underdeveloped intermodal markets. Intermodal Opportunity Intermodal markets in the 550-750 and 1,000-1,250 mile range are ripe for rail carriers to compete in after enforcement of the mandate for trucks to implement electronic logging devices that track a driver’s hours of operation. This has created some destinations that now require an additional day of transit time when moving by truck and providing an opportunity for rail carriers to win over that traffic. Before strict compliance with truck

hours of service was required, it was difficult, if not impossible, for railroads to compete with the delivery time of their trucking competitors. But in order to truly make inroads to traditionally truckfocused markets and lanes, carriers must deliver truck-like service in terms of reliability and consistency. Shippers have always been willing to pay higher rates if the carrier provided a level of service that justified it, regardless of mode. It is incumbent upon the carriers to fix their service problems in order to grow their intermodal franchises and improve their ability to handle so-called “loose-car railroading” in the merchandise sector, which has taken on an increased emphasis in recent years. Intermodal Headwinds Poor service has been a major factor limiting volume growth early in the year, shippers at industry events in the first and early second quarters said. These customers expressed frustration with the carriers’

abilities to improve service and said carriers could have increased volumes if their service was better. Over the past month, train speeds and dwell times on an industry wide basis have stabilized, but both metrics remain far from the 10-year average and the marks hit just a year ago. In the second quarter, carload volumes have inflected positively, compared to 2017 after a slow start to the year. Carload traffic was helped by gains in coal traffic as utilities restocked after an extended winter across the Midwest and mid-Atlantic stimulated higher electricity loads that coal-fired generators met. The incremental domestic coal demand and a robust export market are supporting coal loads in recent weeks, but that cannot be expected to continue. Domestic demand will be tied to weather, particularly the length and significance of heat waves, now that coal has firmly moved to more of a peaking resource in the dispatch stack. The U.S. will always be a swing supplier of coal to international markets, so it is

susceptible to global changes, and any potential trade barriers that other nations could impose. Trade has become a central issue on the global economic stage after the Trump Administration imposed tariffs on steel and other commodities on U.S. allies Canada, Mexico and the European Union, after imposing similar measures on most other countries earlier this year. Coal would be a natural target for any retaliatory actions by European and Asian trading partners. Carload Sector Growth On the carload side of the business, slow but steady is the rule of the day that will govern volume and rate growth for the foreseeable future. There are really two factors limiting additional growth on the carload side for carriers: service levels and disparities among the many sectors that make up the carload markets. Lumber movements are highly dependent on the housing market, which has been strong but could be hurt over the next year by steadily rising interest rates. The Federal Reserve is increasing rates at a steady pace so far in 2018 and is expected to continue doing so into 2019, which raises interest rates across the economy. But the effect is most notable among the real estate market as elevated interest rates historically slow down home buying and construction as people feel they can afford less. Lumber and the construction markets are dependent on housing, putting this category’s growth at risk going forward. Paper volumes moving on the North American rail network are slightly negative for the full year, despite paper mills 28 Railway Age // July 2018

running flat out. Many paper shippers are reporting they have sold more paper than they can produce because of strong demand for brown paper and cardboard used in the shipping of e-commerce-related goods. But so far in 2018 that has not translated into robust railcar loadings, as North American loadings in the paper segment are down 0.4% for the year, according to Association of American Railroads data through the week ended June 9. The breakdown between underlying demand and rail loadings suggests paper shippers are moving their additional production in trucks despite the increasing costs that have become standard in the trucking industry this year. FTR forecasts that truck utilization will remain near 100% for most of the next year, meaning the tight truck market will remain in place.

The STB has a long list of large proceedings that have been on hold since the 2016 election. This will mean shippers will be faced with stronger rates and a search for capacity. If service improves, some paper shippers might be willing to increase the volume of product they move by rail. The Equipment Market Weak service levels have created additional issues in the rail equipment markets as slower transit times result in more equipment needed by shippers and railroads to move the same amount of freight. This has caused carriers to pull equipment out of storage, and has created some inability for shippers to obtain domestic intermodal equipment. This equipment tightness explains the sharp divergence in growth rates between domestic container and domestic trailer loadings that has occurred over the past year.

Domestic container movements have increased in the mid-to-upper single digits compared with growth rates in the upper teens and low-20s for domestic trailers. Part of this disparity is due to shippers moving goods in domestic trailers that could ordinarily move in containers, except for their scarcity. Trailers are relatively abundant and easy to obtain for shippers looking for an alternative to trucks. The Regulatory Environment Enhanced and reliable service will also keep regulators at bay for carriers that will face an increasing regulatory threat from Washington, D.C. in the year ahead. The Surface Transportation Board is inching toward a full complement of five members, with two nominations waiting for approval in the Senate. The Board is well aware of the service problems that have plagued carriers and is also looking for ways to improve its rate case process. The chemical shipper cases of the past decade have helped the STB realize the issues with its existing rate case procedures, and it will likely attempt to rectify at least some of these flaws once it reaches full strength. The Board also has a long list of large proceedings that have been on hold since the 2016 election, when it chose to await a full complement of members before making major policy decisions. One of these large cases is the National Industrial Transportation League’s proposal to allow reciprocal switching (also called competitive access) at interchanges on Class I carriers. This case will almost certainly be decided quickly when the STB reaches full, five-member strength. Shipper complaints about needing access to additional carriers through reciprocal switching because of sub-par rail service would be hard for the Board to ignore. In summary, service is at the core of the year ahead for railroads and their customers. If the railroads can improve their service levels, they should be able to increase carload and intermodal traffic levels while also keeping regulatory threats at bay. However, if service struggles persist, it will complicate efforts to grow traffic levels, and provide an impetus for regulators to play an increasing role in how carriers move traffic across the North American railroad network. railwayage.com

he next time you’re in a locomotive equipped with any one of a dozen or so stateof-the-art technologies from ZTR Control Systems LLC, more likely than not, a talented woman engineer is behind it. ZTR is a railway industry supplier enthusiastically embracing diversity. Throughout its offices in the U.S. and Canada, diversity encompasses all areas: software development, electrical engineering, electronics technology/technicians, project management, sales and leadership. Heather Shipley, Katherine Kristoferson and Natalie Smith are three trailblazing women at ZTR that took time out of their busy schedules to speak with Railway Age. Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) Division Application Engineering Supervisor railwayage.com

Heather Shipley started in product development and quality assurance within the ZTR Railway Division. She developed an automated pre-customer-shipping testing environment. In her current role, she works to ensure that products the Railway IoT group at ZTR develops are reliable and meet customer requirements. Shipley began her career as a co-op student at the University of Waterloo, where she earned a Bachelors of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering. “It takes a lot to move an industry,” she says. “I’m passionate about solving problems for customers and using technology. It’s exciting to be part of a team that plays such a proactive role in ensuring ZTR products and services provide the right information to the right people at the right time. I also participate in events that encourage young women to enter the

engineering and technology fields.” Among these events are Girls Rock IT, at Fanshawe College. From a young age, Shipley excelled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects. “As an engineer, I can solve real-world problems,” says Research and Development Engineering Supervisor Katherine Kristoferson. “It’s an exciting time for rail IoT. Every few months, there’s something new and challenging.” Kristoferson, who earned a degree in Aerospace Engineering from Carleton University, started her career in the aerospace industry, working in such areas as military aircraft electronic controllers. At ZTR, she and her team develop new products that address the needs of railroads, in many cases working closely with Class I’s. Currently, she’s involved with developing supercapacitor starting systems, July 2018 // Railway Age 29

wanted to find something where there was a real opportunity for women. “Even in countries with high levels of gender equality, there isn’t a high level of women going into high-tech fields,” she says. “It’s more than simply providing opportunities. We must change perceptions and continue to advocate for women in leadership roles. When I started at ZTR, I didn’t know a lot about the railway industry. I quickly discovered that our customers are receptive to new technologies. The pace of technology adoption is exponential, and I’m passionate about being an active participant in the evolution of the railway industry landscape. ” Smith enjoys travel, fitness group instruction, and supporting agencies and events that look to advance women into leadership roles. Matthew Scott, Vice President and General Manager of the Railway Division at ZTR, recognizes the value diversity brings to the company’s overall success. “At ZTR, women account for between 20% and 30% of the positions on our engineering teams; about 50% in marketing and finance,” he says. “This is significant, as women are generally underrepresented in high-tech roles. Our organization thrives on a broader, more diverse workforce. First and foremost, we’re an innovation company. The more diversity we have, the more innovation.”

DELVING Beneath

the SURFACE Wayside non-destructive evaluation enables inspection of moving wheels for subsurface damage, before a failure occurs. By Matthew Witte, Ph.D., Scientist; and Anish Poudel, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, NDT, Transportation Technology Center, Inc.

W

heel impact load detectors (WILD) are commonly used to identify high-impact wheels for removal. However, the majority of broken wheels fail in service absent of high impacts as measured by WILD. While WILD is effective for finding out-of-round (OOR) wheels, it does not serve well at identifying wheels with purely internal cracks. Wheels that break in service more often develop from subsurface discontinuities that do not affect the surface of the wheel until the wheel breaks; WILD is not the technology of choice for finding internal cracks. The mechanism of cracked wheel failure is quite different than OOR development. With internal discontinuities, fatigue cracks grow from the continuous cyclical loading that wheels undergo, particularly just below the tread where stresses are highest. A small inclusion or material irregularity under the tread is subject to high stresses that can start a crack. These internal cracks grow and can spread beneath the tread for substantial distances without causing the OOR condition that causes a rolling impact. railwayage.com

Such subsurface anomalies are extremely difficult to identify with visual inspection or WILD. More advanced methods are required to detect these discontinuities. Automated systems that can inspect for subsurface flaws on trains while they are in service are sought. The Tycho Automated Cracked Wheel Detector Systems (ACWDS) is a wayside non-destructive evaluation (NDE) system designed to inspect moving wheels for subsurface damage. The structural components of the system consist of a custom-designed concrete foundation with special wide-gage track work to expose the wheel tread, and a water delivery and recirculation system for delivering ultrasonic couplant. The detector consists of an array of spring-loaded ultrasonic probes, a wheel imaging system, an automatic equipment identification (AEI) tag reader, wayside data collection units and a central processor housed in a nearby control building. Similar detectors are installed in dozens of locations in China for inspecting high-speed passenger train wheelsets. TTCI has been working with Tycho to adapt the existing technology for inspecting freight trains in the North American environment. Ultrasonic probes are aligned

between the rail and a guardrail where they can contact the wheel tread. Two types of ultrasonic probes are arranged to inspect different areas of the wheel. Zero degree probes look straight up, and angled probes look across or around the wheel. A machine vision system is incorporated to pre-inspect the wheel tread. Wheels with condemnable surface condition do not couple well with the ultrasonic probes and therefore may not be adequately inspected by the probes. The vision system can be used to identify wheels with condemnable levels of surface damage, thus discounting the need for reliable ultrasonic inspection. Non-condemnable surface conditions generally are permissible. The ACWDS ultrasonic system is designed to detect internal discontinuities in the railway train wheels. TTCI test results demonstrate that this technology is capable of detecting subsurface cracks at speeds up to 15 mph (24 kph). Depending on the defect size and location, detection rates vary from 80% to 100%. TTCI has concluded system testing but will evaluate possible upgrades. The system is expected to be deployed in revenue service by a Class I in 2019. July 2018 // Railway Age 31

Roads like the Michigan Central justify themselves in its non-use because of the relative high safety of their train operations without such a complicated and costly safeguard. 32 Railway Age // July 2018

Miner Video Explains Draft Gears in Detail MINER ENTERPRISES has released an informative video demonstrating the role that draft gears play in railcar operation. The new video, titled “How Does a Draft Gear Absorb Railcar Energy?” provides a look at draft gear design, and uses computer animation to demonstrate how draft gears protect the railcar during train movement. “Draft gears are an essential element of any railcar, but they’re not as visible as other components, so their role isn’t always as well understood,” says Miner Executive Director of Global Sales Bill O’Donnell. “We hope this video will help customers visualize what their draft gears are doing, and understand

why high-quality gears are so important.” Draft gears are necessary because railcars are subjected to large forces. As the video explains, “The draft gear’s job is to protect the railcar by absorbing the energy associated with pushing, pulling, starting, stopping, and coupling of railcars.” The video uses Miner’s TF-880 draft gear to illustrate where gears are located and how they manage energy. Easy-to-follow animations demonstrate draft gear movements during buff as well as draft events. The video is available on the Miner YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GxTV gvHD9A&feature=youtu.be.

GRO Progress® MS Certified Rolling Stock Metal Cable Glands from Aeros USA can be used with confidence for any rolling stock application, in any arrangement, as has been recently certified by ASTM (1354) and NFPA (130) for railways. Constructed of nickel-plated brass, their compression technology ensures tight seals and offers cables exceptional damage-preventing strain relief, even in dynamic railcar applications. A comprehensive range of standard and EMC cable glands and accessories offers a solution for almost any application. Where the need arises, AGRO also delivers certified solutions according to customer requirements. AGRO Progress cable glands exceed the demands of EN 45545-3, which defines the requirements for fire resistance of fire barriers to limit fire spread by specifying the performance of materials and components. If cables are routed through fire barriers, the requirements apply also to the cable glands used. In order to establish whether or not the required fire resistance is achieved, components are tested in a furnace with respect to requirements for fire barrier, thermal insulation and radiation emission. AGRO Progress® metal cable glands also satisfy the very high demands of fire resistance class E30. This means that the seal inserts remain impervious and prevent the spread of fire through the gland for at least 30 minutes. They do not crack or fissure. From a fire protection perspective, they can be used without hesitation in all railway vehicles. For further information: www.aerosusa.com

Rail Insights Delivers, Again

A

t Railway Age’s Rail Insights conference in June, the leasing and manufacturing panel covered a range of car and locomotive related topics. The esteemed panel of Barbara Wilson, President of Wells Fargo Rail, Greg Schmid, Managing Director Rail Marketing at Residco, and Ted Baun, Chief Commercial Officer of FreightCar America, gave their points of view on car leasing, the railcar market, the market for locomotives and the new order backlog. Here is a summary of the topics discussed and their points of view. As reported in last month’s Railway Age Guide to Equipment Leasing, demand for scrap-hauling mill gondola railcars has done a 180-degree turn from the end of 2017. When asked about scrap rates, the panel referenced recent decreases in rates from the high $300s per ton (Chicago Heavy Melt #1) down to the low $300s per ton. While there are some expectations that the recent controversy regarding steel tariffs may begin to drive prices back up, the panel was inconclusive on the direction of scrap prices. All panelists felt that mill gondola demand would continue and that it may lead to some new car production, but none of the panelists raised concerns about overbuilding, possibly due to the fact that the average age of the mill gondola fleet is more than 30 years old. Sticking on tariffs and NAFTA, the panelists expressed concern about the decisions being made regarding tariffs, and could not decide if NAFTA was more likely or less likely to be terminated by the Trump

Administration. Baun noted that plate steel prices had been on the rise for the past few months, and that the price increase was impacting new car pricing. But while the increases in steel prices may impact new car prices, the panel indicated that it did not think it would impact pricing on used equipment. To the contrary, Wilson noted that prices of used equipment being sold in the “secondary market” had declined from peaks in the second half of 2017. The panel was universal in its belief that the total railcar deliveries for 2018 will be higher than 50,000 units, and that while there may have been some tax bill-related demand, the new orders being placed today (10,000 in 1Q2018), the demand has been driven by business fundamentals. Our two lessors identified what continues to be a consistent problem in the rail leasing market. The fact that lease rates, when viewed as a percentage of the cost of a new car, are not rising with new car prices is a cause for concern for purchasers of new railcars and has an impact on the price that can be paid for used equipment. Also, as steel increases in price and railcar prices rise, this is a concern that will continue to be something to watch in the coming months. The state of the grain car rental market highlighted this issue. As grain car rates continue to suffer due to overcapacity in the total market, the Rail Insights conference was happening as Canadian Pacific made the announcement on the placement of an order for 1,000 new high-capacity covered grain hopper railcars (p. 10). With so many cars on the sidelines, CP’s decision feels like it’s marginalizing the operating lessor market and not giving consideration to the equipment overhang in the market today. This continues to create difficult scenarios for operating lessors to earn a reasonable return on their investments. On the sand market, the crazy trifecta of issues impacting demand for sand in frac drilling (rail cycle times, the quantity of sand being pumped into each well and the competitive threat posed by local sand vs. Wisconsin/northern white sand as

railcar demand has been driven by business fundamentals.” an example) had the panel being cautious with regard to the demand for sand cars. Many investors, even considering the current state of demand, are holding back on increasing exposure to this segment of the market. This indicates that the sand market continues to mature, and investors are adopting a wait-and-see attitude rather than rushing in like it’s 2012 or 2014 again. Second, it shows that the story of how sand will be transported (railcars, containers, trucks) continues to be written. On the topic of locomotives, the lease market is showing some strength, but locomotive owners may have some cause for optimism as BNSF and Union Pacific have pulled locomotives out of storage. Tackling the recent Wabtec/GE Transportation Services transaction, the panel generally agreed that the industry needs to have GE around, and that Wabtec’s involvement in its ownership should allow that to continue for the long term. All in all, a great panel with great information for all attendees. Got questions? Set them free at dnahass@railfin.com.
