		At Hither Green recently-repainted 37023 was shown off in the new Mainline Blue livery and took part in other events at Acton, Didcot and Stratford depots whilst at Eastleigh, staff and their families filled a hopper wagon with toys before donating them to children at the local hospital.
		Mainline Freight was not allocated any Class 56s, but instead was allocated the entire fleet of fifty Class 58 locomotives.
		With the introduction of Trainload Freight South East and later Mainline Freight, the tradition of using Class 58s solidly on coal circuits was broken and the fleet were deployed alongside Class 60s on some of the heaviest and biggest trains run by Mainline.

		The freight railroad is the high-speed, long-distance transportation artery on the land.
		A number of mainline freight railroad routes suffer from serious capacity constraints, and a more aggressive approach to double-tracking is required.
		Most senior executives in the freight railroad industry comprehend this fact, and they are endeavoring to come up with solutions that improve the capacity and efficiency of the freight intermodal system while also providing public benefits.

		Washington State's ports are expected to continue to grow with corresponding impacts on rail access and mainline capacity, and half of the state rail system is still comprised of branch or light density lines with the potential to be spun off to short line operators or abandoned.
		Mainlines - The main tracks of the large railroads are suffering from capacity problems as overall rail traffic levels in Washington State have increased almost 70 percent in the last decade (terminating traffic has doubled).
		Mainline capacity issues are being addressed by BNSF with its acquisition of the Washington Central (spun off by BNSF predecessor Burlington Northern) permitting reopening of the Stampede Pass line as a through route making it the state's third east-west mainline.

	Locomotive History
		While the mainline of the San Diego and Arizona was still under construction, the management began casting about for passenger power to handle whatever service was going to be provided.
		When the mainline from San Diego to El Centro was finally opened in December, 1919, the locomotive was put into service pulling the trains for which it was acquired, supplemented by leased S.P. Thenwheelers.
		When dieselization of the S.D.& A.E. mainline freight trains by Baldwin road switchers occurred in 1951, No. 103 and 105-106 were leased permanently to the S.P. No. 103 was sent up the coast to operate out of Bayshore Yard near San Francisco, while the latter two remained in and around El Centro.

	Track Sharing & Route Sharing.
		They took the view that it would not be desirable to run mainline trains through the city streets and the pedestrian zone but as - in common with many German cities - Karlsruhe retained a thriving tram system it was decided to use this as a basis for development.
		When it was built the DLR "took over" one pair of the mainline railway's tracks (at the London end of the route) with the mainline railway retaining the other pair.
		Although the mainline service here is very infrequent (so infrequent that it actively deters many would-be passengers) and exactly the same mainline trains (class 313) already track share with London Underground trains in two other locations (District and Bakerloo lines) it was decided to keep the services on their own independent tracks.

		The Legislature's premise was that three elements are required to maintain and improve the freight rail system within the state: 1) better freight rail planning, 2) better cooperation to preserve rail lines, and 3) increased financial assistance from the state.
		In recognition of freight mobility needs and links to the state's economic future, RCW 47.76 was revised in 1995 (see Appendix A) to address additional rail issues related to mainline congestion and port access in addition to light density lines and corridor preservation.
		Washington State's ports are expected to continue to grow with corresponding impacts on rail access and mainline capacity, and over half of the state rail system is still comprised of branch lines with the potential to be spun off to short line operators or abandoned.

		The track relocation was found feasible, and the track arrangement design has been modified to place the LRT east of the mainline freight operations (see Figure 4).
		Thus, all freight and potential commuter rail operations will be to the west of the LRT platform and parking area.

	TRB Annual Meeting Program
		Track class-specific derailment rates for Class I mainline freight trains show two orders of magnitude difference between the lowest and highest FRA track classes.
		Depending on the risk analysis question being addressed, accounting for these differences in rates will often be important in developing an accurate estimate of risk over the length of a route or at particular locations along a route.
		A sensitivity analysis suggests that the distribution of freight train-miles by FRA track class may have changed since a study conducted by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) in the early 1990s.

	EWS
		When Trainload Freight was split, the Class 31 locomotives were allocated to Mainline and Transrail, and further locomotives were gradually withdrawn for a number of reasons.
		But most important was that EWS was able to improve performance for their freight trains - the 66s achieved reliability figures never seen before in the UK and were possibly the easiest locomotive to introduce into traffic.
		The 66s acquired over 75% of the freight duties that were previously entrusted to older locomotives, and as a result the locos appeared in all of the sectors - metals, petroleum, stone, intermodal and enterprise were all changed over to Class 66 haulage.

		When America's Railroads began the wholesale replacement of steam power after World War II, one of the most lucrative portions of the huge diesel locomotive market was the streamlined, four-axle cab and booster unit for mainline freight operation.
		The result was the famous "Shark Nose" freight design that reached it's zenith with the 160 RF-16 cab and booster unit diesels built between 1949 and 1952.
		Each railroad used their units in all types of freight service, but they were especially popular for hauling heavy trains in difficult terrain and tough conditions.
