Rail Deregulation This trend—expected to intensify—is straining the short line rail system, whose infrastructure is not equipped to safely handle the larger 286,000-pound and 315,000 pound gross weight railcars, and whose revenue levels make the necessary track and bridge upgrades prohibitive. The U.S. rail system had been designed and built before the advent of the interstate highway system, during a time when half the trains on the network were passenger trains. To rejuvenate the rail sector and open it up to market forces, Congress passed the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 which eased regulations on rates, line abandonment, and mergers. www.nemw.org /raildereg.htm   (720 words)

International Railway Journal: Rail Network Under Threat In Northern Ireland WHILE billions of pounds are being committed to revitalise railways in mainland Britain, the 340km broad-gauge network in the province of Northern Ireland faces an uncertain future that could lead to at least part of it being mothballed. The planned level of railway investment in Northern Ireland for the next two years is [pound]27.1 million in 2000-1 and [pound]10.2 million in 2001-2 Among Eurotrack Ireland's plans are to convert the network to standard gauge with the exception of the Belfast-Dublin line, take back and develop freight using rail ferries between Lane and Stranraer to create a direct rail route into Europe, re-open lines previously closed, and invest in new diesel railcars. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0BQQ/is_9_40/ai_65803938   (574 words)

UTU: News LONDON, England -- The operator of Britain's aging rail network slumped to a 758 million-pound ($1.4 billion) operating loss last year, its debts rose to 12.6 billion pounds and it failed to meet its own punctuality targets, according to this Reuters report. Reorganizing the business, which Network Rail took over when its predecessor Railtrack collapsed in 2001, also drained away more than 150 million pounds. Network Rail's executive directors will forego some of their bonus entitlement because of the firm's failure to meet targets in areas such as service and punctuality, but they will still get bonuses equivalent to 24 percent of their basic salary. www.utu.org /worksite/detail_news.cfm?ArticleID=14432   (408 words)

Holidays and Travel in later life - Swiss Rail A recent visit to Switzerland was a journey into nostalgia, following the route of my first-ever European holiday when I explored the Alps long ago with an 8-day Swiss Rail Pass. The current exchange rate of 2.25 Swiss Francs to the pound will make most items seem expensive. Using the go-anywhere Swiss Pass, my two most memorable days were aboard the Glacier Express; and a trip to Grindelwald with a £15 supplement to reach 6762-ft Kleine Scheidegg to view the snows of Jungfraujoch, 6,000 feet higher up. laterlife.co.uk /travel/laterlife-swiss-rail.htm   (1132 words)

DOMINO MOTHERFUCKER In the early part of the century, though, the same sugar was loaded into 100-pound brown canvas sacks before being loaded onto barges or rail cars for transport to other parts of the country. In the early part of the 20th century, this was mostly done by loading the sugar onto rail cars belonging to the Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal Railroad, which had its rail yards just north of the sugar factory. In fact, the sugar factory was the main customer of this "pocket" railway, which did not have a direct connection to the mainland but instead drove its loaded railroad cars onto "carfloat" barges. www.jinxmagazine.com /domino.html   (1132 words)

Edinburgh Evening News - Top Stories - Insurance pot to be used to pay rail crash compensation COMPENSATION for victims of last month’s Berkshire rail crash will be met from the costs of ordinary motorists’ insurance because the driver of the car involved had no traceable policy, it was confirmed today.

Rampant Scotland Newsletter - 24 February 2001 However, further research is to be undertaken on a 60 million pound rail link from the city centre to Glasgow airport.

Soaring euros, friendly Europeans and rail-pass robbery It's down against the British pound, the Czech koruny and the Danish kroner, down against the Greek drachma and the Norwegian kroner and the Polish zloty. If, after you do all the math, a rail pass turns out to be only slightly pricier than individual tickets, it's worth buying it for the convenience. Rick Steves, author of "Europe Through the Back Door" and host of the popular PBS travel series, estimates that 10 percent of travelers to Europe would save money by buying individual tickets rather than rail passes. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/06/22/TR20078.DTL&type=printable   (944 words)
