Fire Strikes National Capital Trolley Museum
A fire on September 28 at the National Capital Trolley Museum in Montgomery
County, Maryland, destroyed eight pieces of equipment. The museum estimates
damage of at least $8-million, which included four streetcars from its
own collection, three Austrian trams from the International Collection,
and a Johnstown Traction Company car from the American Trolley Collection.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
B&O Museum to Replace Upper Clerestory Roundhouse Roof
Structural engineers working with the B&O Museum in Baltimore have
discovered that the clerestory upper roof of the roundhouse does not have
the structural integrity to meet current building code standards. This
was not caused by the February snowstorm that caused extensive damage to
lower portions of the roof, and repairs to the upper roof will not be covered
by insurance. The museum has decided to remove and replace the upper roof
at a cost estimated to be in excess of $2-million. Moreover, this work
is expected to add another six months to the overall roof replacement project.
Al Crown Retires From CSXT
Alan F. Crown, executive vice president and chief operating officer
of CSX Transportation, retired on September 11 after 37 years of service.
He began his career with the B&O in Baltimore as a yard clerk and quickly
moved into management positions including general manager of several of
the company's operating regions. He was among those who led the railroad's
service recovery that began in 2000, and he also led the development of
CSXT's Safety Leadership Process in 2002. He was named chief operating
officer in February 2003.
Union Pacific to Add Trains to Illinois Line
Union Pacific will increase the number of trains on a 58-mile rail line
between Mount Vernon and Chester, Illinois, and increase the speed of its
trains to 40 miles per hour, according to a news report from the Association
of American Railroads. A portion of the line between Mount Vernon and Steelville
had very little traffic in recent years, and the portion between Steelville
and Chester had averaged just two trains a day. Effective November 1, following
a $9.3-million track upgrade, the number of trains operating over the line
will increase to about 12 trains a day.
Rail Intermodal Traffic Sets Weekly Record
Intermodal traffic set a weekly record on U.S. railroads during the
week ending September 13, according to the Association of American Railroads.
Intermodal traffic totaled 206,943 trailers or containers, up 3.1 percent
from last year and 0.2 above the previous record of 206,454 set during
the week ending September 21, 2002. Container volume was up two percent
while trailer traffic was up 6.3 percent from last year.
BNSF Logistics Acquires Freight Forwarding Firm
BNSF Logistics, a subsidiary of Burlington Northern Santa Fe, has acquired
MRS Companies, an Illinois brokerage and freight forwarder that serves
retail, furniture and consumer packaged goods companies nationwide.
Director of UP Railroad Museum Named
Beth Lindquist, formerly general manager at the Mid-America Center in
Council Bluffs, Iowa, has been named director of the Union Pacific Railroad
Museum in Council Bluffs. "This is an exciting new challenge for me,"
she said. "The museum has terrific potential to serve the community
and region, and I look forward to exploring new possibilities."
Vintage Rail Passenger Depots of Maryland
The purpose of this feature is to identify vintage rail passenger depots
of Maryland that are currently standing. "Vintage" comprehends
construction prior to 1950. Replicas of vintage depots are included if
their construction since 1950 was to accurately copy the vintage structure.
Any pre-1950 depot that at some time was used as an assembly area for rail
passengers to await transportation is included, even if it shared space
with other functions, such as a store. Freight depots unless they
also served passengers are not included.
This updates the study introduced in the Bull Sheet in January 1991.
Special thanks to all who assisted in identifying depots, both in the
original study in 1991 and the update to it in 2003. They include Matt
Adams, Matt Atkinson, Rich Ballash, Bill Bartosh, Gordy Bjoraker, Ken Briers,
Mark Camp, Mike Finzel, Beryl Frank, Ed Hack, Herb Harwood, Chris &
Tina Hash, Tyler Horner, Winnie Kehs, Gerry Kiernan, Betty Kuigley Dick
Lloyd, Bernie Loveless, Alan Maples, Wade Massie, Richard Meyer, Alexander
Mitchell, George Paine, Darren Reynolds, Stewart Rhine, Jim Rogers, Jerry
Rollins, Pat Stakem, Frank Tosh, Martin Van Horn, Mike Welsh, Roger White,
