	FedEx Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Federal Express was a passenger train operated on the Poughkeepsie Bridge Route.
		The company was founded as Federal Express in 1971 by former U.S. Marine Frederick W. Smith in Little Rock, Arkansas, but moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1973 after Little Rock airport officials would not agree to provide facilities for the fledgling airline.
		Federal Express pioneered use of the spoke-hub distribution paradigm in air freight, which enabled it to become a world leader in its field.

	Passenger Train Operations
		Because passenger trains are really interesting in their own right, and a knowledgeable modeler can greatly enhance the play value of his or her railroad by including correct operating procedures for them.
		Express companies, like their modern counterparts, made money by taking many parcels or freight too small to fill a whole railcar, filling a whole railcar with them and transporting them to their destinations at lower carload rates.
		These slow trains would crawl along the line in the wee hours of the night as they did their work, eventually winding up at the local creamery or to meet up with a perishable time freight that would carry the fresh milk to a dairy farther away.

		Amtrak’s first director was skeptical of the system, saying that the passenger train was as outdated as the stagecoach and should be allowed to die an honorable death.
		Trains in the 1950’s were able to travel greater distances in less time with smaller crews so many earlier rules were not necessary.
		The train may be as much as a mile long and that means that it will take several seconds for the "stop" message to travel the length of the train.

		The railroad companies say that carrying passengers is a losing proposition, so they concentrate on transporting freight and leave the carrying of people to the bus lines.

	Personal Rapid Transit - Cyberspace Dream Keeps Colliding With Reality
		Federal officials in the Nixon administration of the period seized on PRT "experiments" as a way to stall, thus helping to dam, for the moment, a more massive outflow of federal funds into "conventional" urban transit projects.
		One after another, the various federally funded PRT showcases either fizzled or bombed terribly, exceeding budgets, and exhibiting an array of unforeseen technical problems – some of which seemed to be inherent in the concept.
		SkyWeb Express (aka Taxi 2000, perhaps the USA's foremost PRT vendor wanna-be at the moment), for example, claims the capability of operating at a one-second headway (or less) and conveying as many as 10,800 passengers per hour in fully loaded 3-person vehicles.

		Train travel has the "luxury of first-class air travel and a social atmosphere lacking in the car," said Washington state Department of Transportation Secretary Sid Morrison when the Amtrak Cascades, the railroad's newest passenger train, debuted last December.
		Meanwhile, new federal initiatives, such as the Clinton Administration's "Smart Growth" proposal, confirm that rail in America is much more than a nostalgia trip.
