Cover Story:
Passenger & Freight Lines — Shared Tracks — Projects

Outside of the Northeast Corridor, virtually all intercity passenger trains operate on lines owned entirely or in part by freight railroads. In addition, many commuter railroads use freight railroad-owned routes in some parts of their systems because it's cost prohibitive to build and maintain their own track. That means Amtrak and commuter-rail agencies need to continue building and nurturing relationships with freight railroads — as well as with states that support shared corridors — to ensure passenger and freight trains can co-exist on the same track. It also means all the parties have to work together to forge and maintain shared corridor agreements.

What are the challenges freight and passenger railroads face on shared corridors, and how are they attempting to address them? For answers, we'll check in with Amtrak, a few Class Is and several commuter railroads.

MOW Product Update:
Special Trackwork
Suppliers of special trackwork components — from turnouts to switch point guards to insulated joints and frogs — share information on their latest offerings.

Commodity Update:
Automobiles
Auto-related carload traffic hasn't exactly been a boon for railroads the past couple years — for North American railroads it has increased 2 percent to 3 percent annually. What does this year look like on the automotive front? How are railroads planning accordingly? We'll talk near- and longer-term trends with auto-segment execs from a cross-section of Class Is.

Mechanical:
Passenger Rail Locomotives, DMUs & EMUs
Locomotive makers are finding sales opportunities among Passenger Rail, both in and outside the U.S. Builders tell us what transit agencies and passenger railroads want on the power front related to diesel multiple unit (DMU) and electric multiple unit (EMU) technology. We cover what they're bringing to the market now and in the not-so-distant future.

MOW/C&S:
Winter Challenges
Spring can be the best time to prepare for the ice and snow and cold to come. In this "winter challenges" technology roundup, companies share details on a range of solutions to help railroads beat back whatever winter dishes out — from heavy-duty snow plows and blowers to automated rail heating systems to idle-reduction technology.
