Super-railroaders for super-railroads

“I

t is a paradox that there should be superhghways and super-markets and supereverything-else that is part of America’s burgeoning economic life, while there are no super-railroads. And yet, economical railroad transportation is the foundation on which ‘supereverything’ in present-day American economic life is based. Super-railroads would project the standards of service, efficiency, and economy far beyond the best achievements obtainable from from the present properties.” So wrote John W. Barriger III in his 1956 book, “Super-Railroads for a Dynamic American Economy,” published by Simmons-Boardman. The book was based largely on the Prince Plan, which Barriger produced for the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration in 1932. In it, Barriger envisioned a national railroad network comprised of six to eight large Class I’s—an idea the numerous Class I CEOs of the time found unthinkable. More than three-quarters of a century later, Barriger’s idea of a handful of mega-carriers stretching coast-to-coast has largely come to pass. His vision, as well as his many other accomplishments, were recognized on June 23 when he was inducted into the National Railroad Hall of Fame in Galesburg, Ill. Barriger’s son, John W. Barriger III, accepted the award on his late father’s behalf. The event was held at historic Knox College, site of one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates during

the 1858 Illnois U.S. Senate race. The college also hosted the annual board meeting of the J. W. Barriger III National Railroad Library. Also inducted into the Hall of Fame was Major General Grenville Mellen Dodge, the Union Pacific chief engineer who built the nation’s first transcontinental railroad. Dodge was represented by UP Vice President Supply Joe O’Conner. And then there was Kansas City Southern Executive Chairman and Railway Age 2001 Railroader of the Year Mike Haverty, who is profiled an as industry “Architect of Change” by Contributing Editor Larry Kaufman (p. 22). Haverty, largely responsible for giving the intermodal business a huge push with the landmark deal the Santa Fe Railway struck with trucker J.B. Hunt in 1989 to move trailers and containers long-haul, was inducted not only for his groundbreaking intermodal work, but also for his vision in establishing the NAFTA Railway, which today is KCS’s north-south system, stretching from Chicago to Mexico City and the Port of Lázaro Cárdenas. Our Midyear Report (p. 16) discusses how, in the face of a steep decline in coal, intermodal is setting the industry’s pace for growth. We can thank super-railroaders like Mike Haverty for making it possible.

Industry Outlook STB proceeds on Montana short line proposal The Surface Transportation Board announced June 18 its plan for consideration of Tongue River Railroad Co.’s revised proposal to build and operate a new rail line in Montana between Miles City and ashland. The new approach takes a into account a number of changed circumstances. “in December 2011,” the board noted, “the U.S. Court of appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a decision affirming in part the board’s decisions in two of the three Tongue River cases, while making it clear that TRRC may

not build any part of the Tongue River Railroad without further environmental review. TRRC also recently announced revised plans for the location of the line and a change in ownership of the railroad and stated that the purpose and need for the proposed line have changed. accordingly, the Board is requiring TRRC to file a revised application that presents fully TRRC’s new proposal to build a rail line. The agency will conduct a new environmental review of that plan consistent with the Ninth Circuit’s decision regarding these cases.”

Railroads pursue oil field opportunities

independence, and the TNMR has become key to timely delivery of a variety of oil field products,” said iPH President and CeO ed ellis. TNMR operates between a connection with Union Pacific at Monahans, Tex., and lovington, N.M., a distance of roughly 100 miles. The line was built in the 1920s when the Permian Basin oilfield was first developed. iowa Pacific expects TNMR annual carloads of nearly 50,000 per year when all planned facilities are fully operational. U.S. Silica Holdings, inc. announced it has formed “an innovative alliance with BNSF Railway to build a new silica sand storage facility in San antonio, Tex., that will support the rapidly growing oil and gas extraction industry in the eagle Ford shale.” Bryan Shinn, U.S. Silica’s CeO, said the company is “very excited to partner with BNSF to add a unit train frac sand storage facility in a prime eagle Ford location.” “working with U.S. Silica to extend BNSF’s service into the eagle Ford shale will create new opportunities for growth for the nation’s energy supply, for jobs and the economy,” said John lanigan, BNSF executive vice president and chief marketing officer. U.S. Silica anticipates the company will make three to four shipments per month of approximately 10,000 tons of frac sand on 100-car unit BNSF trains from its Ottawa, ill., facility.

Study: Caltrain electrification will generate jobs a study released June 12 by the Bay area Council economic institute says California’s Caltrain service upgrades, including overhead electrification, “will create thousands of construction jobs, significantly increase property values, and generate billions of dollars in overall economic benefits.” Study backers acknowledge the study’s release “comes just ahead of a decision by state lawmakers on high speed rail funding that could provide critical early investment for the electrification and modernization project.” House Rep. anna eshoo (D-Calif.), a supporter and critic of the golden State’s effort to establish a statewide high speed rail network, hailed the study’s finding as justification for “a blended system that integrates high speed rail with a 21st century Caltrain.” Supporters of the “blended” concept also cite benefits to Metrolink in southern California. late last March, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission approved an agreement for a $1.5 billion plan to electrify Caltrain, install an advanced train-control system, and replace its passenger railcar fleet using a combination of high-speed rail bond money and local, regional, and state transportation funds. 6

Railroads large and small continue to pursue business in the rapidly evolving U.S. energy market, as events last month in the Southwest demonstrated. iowa Pacific Holdings opened its new locomotive repair shop on the Texas-New Mexico Railroad (TNMR) subsidiary, a key rail line in the Permian Basin oilfield. TNMR also marked the completion of the second phase of TNMR’s track upgrade program, which added $10 million in new rail and ties, and allowed for improved running speeds as a result of the better track condition. “The Permian Basin oilfield is part of america’s drive to energy

here’s no question about the importance of coal to the railroads. It has recently accounted for 44% of U.S. Class I railroad tonnage, 24.1% of carloads, and 24.2% of revenue. A mild winter coupled with abundant and cheap natural gas has led to a sharp decline in coal traffic—it was down 16% in the week ended May 10 and coke was down 9%. Coal’s decline, measured year-over-year, began easing during June, but single-digit declines continued through the month.

Financial analysts seeking to put this sobering news into the contest of the overall traffic picture received some help on June 5 from Norfolk Southern Chairman, President, and CEO Wick Moorman, who told CNBC: “Coal is such an important part of our business that it obviously gets a lot of focus, but I do tend to think today people are probably looking a little too hard at coal, and not

seeing all of these other good things that are going on.” These “other good things” include traffic product groups that are on the rise. While coal was sinking in the week ended May 19, petroleum products, motor vehicles and equipment, and lumber products up 49%, 23%, and 28%, respectively. Moorman delivered a similar message on coal to Norfolk Southern shareholders at their annual meeting May 24. “We are seeing continued growth in several business segments, most noticeably automobiles, metals, and intermodal, he told NS shareholders. “We believe that the U.S. economy remains on a sustained albeit slow growth path, and we will continue to position the company for sustained growth through strategic investments and hiring,” Moorman said.

Latest LRT/university clash arises in Houston With some exceptions, U.S. universities appear reticent to invite light rail transit onto the college campus. The latest to balk is the University of Houston, now reportedly asking Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (Metro) to keep LRT off its property in developing the city’s Southeast Line. “I can confirm for you that UH did ask Metro to move the lines off campus,” Richard Bonnin, executive director of UH Media Relations, said last month as clarification. Metro had planned to run its line along Wheeler Street, within the university property line, and turning north along university property onto Scott Street. But Metro has been unable to purchase any property or easement rights to advance the plan.

Observers say the university’s reluctance may be linked to plans for a new sports stadium to be built on Scott Street. Metro spokesman Jerome Gray said talks with the university have been held, though “nothing has been finalized.” He added, “But the bottom line is the Southeast line is not being moved off UH property. The skirmish in Houston is the latest in a series of disputes that have arisen nationwide as light rail transit systems seek to tap fertile potential ridership offered by college campuses, where many students don’t have ready access to automobile alternatives. LRT development or proposals have generated concern, if not outright resistance, from several colleges, including in

St. Paul, Minn., College Park, Md., and Princeton, N.J. By contrast, San Diego State University negotiated to have its LRT stop placed underground, in part due to cost savings and also because an underground station would better serve the center of its campus.

Union Pacific last month unveiled a fleet of mobile classrooms that it says will bring “state-of-the-art operations and safety training” to locomotive engineer and conductor locations across its

system.“With employees scattered over 23 states, Union Pacific has always had a challenging task in training new employees, and updating current employees in new federal regulations

and the latest technology,” UP said. “The mobile classrooms will supplement ongoing training conducted at leading-edge facilities where employees are introduced to new technology, and

provided refresher certification.” The training fleet employs “pioneering communication capabilities to sync with Union Pacific’s mainframe computer network, accessing the most current instructional sessions and federal training documentation.” Every mobile classroom has seven workstations, each capable of accommodating two employees. Each simulator station includes a webcam feature enabling instructors in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Omaha, Neb., to assist the students at any time. “Early training equipment, such as locomotive simulators, were large and heavy—about the size of two large deep freezers sitting side-by-side,” noted UP. “Today, through technological advances, those same locomotive simulations can be experienced on a laptop computer with these mobile classrooms,” UP said.

TIGER IV grants offer intermodal improvements The federal government on June 20 announced its distribution of TigeR iV (Transportation investment generating economic Recovery) discretionary grants. Many rail-related projects identified by the Department of Transportation deal with intermodal projects. Chicagoland’s CReaTe (Chicago Region environmental and Transportation efficiency) program receives $10.4 million addressing 15 local projects designed to expedite both freight and passenger rail movement. within Chicago itself, Chicago Transit authority will receive $20 million for CTa’s 95th Street Terminal improvement Project. washington State will receive $10 million for the North Spokane

Corridor project, which includes plans to relocate 7.5 miles of BNSF right-of-way. The state of Vermont receives $7.9 million to finish infrastructure upgrades, including 19 miles of track improvement, from St. albans to the Canadian border. Sacramento, Calif., receives $15 million to restore the Sacramento Valley Station, identified as amtrak’s seventh-busiest station, and also served by light rail transit. Rochester, N.y., secured $15 million to construct the Rochester intermodal Transportation Center, projected to cost $37.7 million, to replace a prototype amtrak “amshack” that has been in place for decades.

BNSF Railway once again finished second, while CSX Transportation climbed to third place from its fifth-lace ranking in 2011, the coalition said. Survey respondents once again ranked Canadian Pacific in last place. The seven Class I railroads were ranked as follows: Union Pacific Railroad; Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway; CSX Transportation; Norfolk Southern Railway; Canadian National Railway; Kansas City Southern Railway; and Canadian Pacific Railway. The survey was completed anonymously by agricultural shippers of various sizes and scale of operations and was comprised of the same 11 questions from 2010 and 2011 categorized under on-time performance, customer service, and costs. The coalition pointedly noted, “Railroads continue to receive higher ratings for customer service than for cost issues. “Respondents continue to express concern about accessorial charges— arguing that they are simply another avenue for generating revenue rather than a legitimate cost,” the coalition said. The seven Class I railroads annually transport more than 27 million tons of soybeans (900 million bushels), 20 million tons of soybean meal, and 7 million tons of soybean oil, the Soy Transportation Coalition said.

APTA: 1Q public transit ridership “surged” Public transportation ridership surged in the first quarter of 2012, increasing 5.0% over the first quarter of last year, according to a report released by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), coinciding with APTA’s Rail Conference in Dallas last month. APTA said the results marked the fifth consecutive quarter of U.S. public transit ridership increase, as 125.7 million more trips were taken than in the first quarter of 2011. All public transit modes saw increases, APTA said. Light rail transit (LRT) use increased by 6.7%, with 25 of 27 LRT systems reporting increases. “Heavy rail” (rapid rail) use increased by 5.5%, with 14 of 15 systems reporting increases. Commuter or regional rail use rose 3.9%, with 22 of 27 systems reporting increases. Large bus systems reported an increase of 4.6% nationally, APTA said. “High gas prices were part of the reason for this large first quarter ridership increase,” said APTA President and CEO Michael Melaniphy. “More and more people are choosing to save money by taking public transportation when gas prices are high. “As Congress is negotiating a federal surface transportation bill that is now more than 2 1/2 years overdue, our federal representatives need to act before the June 30 deadline to ensure that public transportation systems will be able to meet the growing demand,” said Melaniphy. “It’s obvious from the surge in public transit ridership in the first quarter that Americans need and want public transportation.”

NYMTA completes third East Side Access tunnel

The third of four East Side Access tunnels has been completed seven weeks ahead of schedule, New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority says, noting that the tunneling machine will be entombed underground until the tunnel can be connected to the busy Long Island Rail Road Main Line tracks above. MTA appeared to have made the announcement as a form of pushback to critics of the project who hammered the authority for acknowledging in May that ESA was falling behind schedule and would cost as much as $8.24 billion. August 2019 is the new target date for ESA’s debut, about three years later than the most recent deadline target. July 2012 Railway age 15

Intermodal sets the pace for growth

Can it offset the decline in coal? By williaM C. Vantuono, editoR, and lutheR S. MilleR, SenioR ConSulting editoR

t the beginning of the Great Recession, intermodal and coal each accounted for about 26% of total railroad carloads. Their relative positions have now shifted sharply. Intermodal trailer and container loadings reached an all-time weekly high in May after climbing steadily throughout the year. At the same time, coal took a tumble as a sudden abundance of natural gas gave utilities a cheap and environmentally friendly alternative for the generation of electricity. In early June, the experts were predicting that the share of electricity generated by coal would dip below 40% in calendar 2012, the lowest percentage since World War II. They also said that 30% of the electricity supply would come from natural gas this year vs. 20% in 2008. It’s possible that both forecasts may turn out to be exaggerated. Coal has recently taken a turn for the better, and energy sources are saying that natural gas could lose its pricing edge later in the year. “Coal has been front and center in nearly 90% of the conversations I have had with investors this year, and with good reason,” says Dahlman Rose Director Equity Research and Railway Age Contributing Editor Jason Seidl. “Coal volumes are off 11.6% year-to-date

and have helped keep overall traffic growth at a meager 0.8% for Class I’s. Excluding coal, Class I traffic is actually up a robust 4.0%. However, rail stocks will not fully flourish unless investors are able to focus on something positive or, at the bare minimum, something other than coal. We believe this will happen soon as year-over-year coal comparisons get easier and agricultural volumes start to flow in from the harvest.” There is little question about the emergence of intermodal as the rail industry’s new engine of growth. If this is the case,

the railroads won’t be taken by surprise. A surge in intermodal is something they’ve been anticipating, and they’re rapidly building capacity to handle it. “Intermodal is the growth sector in freight transportation,” said the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals in its 23rd annual “State of Logistics” summary, issued June 14. Part of intermodal’s growth is due to an increasing diversion of highway traffic to rail, as evidenced by investments in container chassis by the trucking industry’s “big two,” J. B. Hunt and Schneider National, and others. Rail’s fuel efficiency, price competitiveness, and improved service quality have combined with such factors as truck driver shortages to make intermodal the way to go. The past few years have seen the railroads pour large amounts of capital into large-scale corridor improvement projects. These projects involve creating clearances for doublestack trains, constructing double track and/or siding extensions, resignaling, and building new intermodal terminals at key locations. Most are public/private partnerships, with private railroad capital supplemented by state, regional, or federal July 2012 Railway age 17

dollars. Among these are Norfolk Southern’s recently completed Heartland Corridor and under-construction Crescent Corridor, CSX’s National Gateway (RA, May, p. 28), and Kansas City Southern’s development of the port of Lazaro Cardenas on Mexico’s west coast. In the

West, BNSF is close to finishing doubletracking of its Chicago-Los Angeles Transcon, in which it has invested nearly $2 billion over the past decade. Union Pacific continues to invest in new or expanded intermodal terminals, such as Global III in Rochelle, Ill., “strategically located on the growth edge of Chicago’s

westward commercial frontier,” according to the railroad. “A short distance outside the city, this area is experiencing enormous growth as industries look to locate warehouse and distribution facilities outside of Chicago’s capacity-constrained downtown. This facility offers direct interstate highway routes offering easy access to major eastwest markets, and provides the capacity to improve the interchange of shipments to and from rail connections and to expedite operation of more than 25 trains and 3,000 containers/trailers daily. The consolidation of operational functions between Global III and our other Chicago-area intermodal facilities allows us to greatly improve transit times and create competitive new services designed to better meet international and domestic intermodal requirements.” Some of the projects are railroad partnerships. For example, NS and KCS have teamed up on the east-west Meridian Speedway. NS and Pan Am Railways are joint owners in New England of Pan Am Southern LLC, which operates the Patriot Corridor.

home-grown growth Intermodal isn’t the only growth area for the railroads. Agricultural products represented nearly 10% of total North American Class I rail traffic in 2011 and almost 9% of traffic thus far in 2012, “which is largely in line with historical trends,” says Jason Seidl. “The narrow focus by investors appears to be causing many of them to overlook the agriculture story.” “Agricultural shipments are poised to benefit from two likely events in the second half of the year,” says Seidl. “First, traffic comparisons should ease as we get past the comparison with first-half 2011, which—with the exception of floodingrelated disruptions for the Eastern carriers—saw strong demand for export grain due to unfavorable growing conditions in foreign markets. This led to record demand for export wheat and food grains. This was reflected in solid first-quarter 2011 volume increases as 18

well as double-digit increases in secondquarter 2011 for the western carriers, and created a negative-comparison environment for this year’s first half. Export demand is forecast by the USDA to improve this year. On the wheat front, the USDA raised its forecast for all-wheat production by 12% through August 2013. If this proves accurate, it would be the highest since the 2008-2009 season. The department also projects soybean to increase 4% from last year. “Second, the USDA is projecting a record corn harvest this year, something that could keep a lid on pricing and stimulate demand from China, which could attempt to build stockpiles ahead of peak consumption out of concern that recent dry conditions in the U.S. Midwest could pose a risk to the USDA’s forecast record yield, leading to higher prices. In its May forecast, the USDA estimated a 20122013 average corn cash price about 10% lower than the estimate released in

“The USDA is projecting a record corn harvest this year, something that should keep the lid on pricing and stimulate demand from China, [and] benefit the rail industry.” February. If dry weather, which has reduced moisture in key Midwest regions, persists, the price forecast could prove conservative. Additionally, while EL Nino is not expected to have a major impact on growing conditions this year, speculation on its potential impact in early summer could still lead to spikes in prices. As such, we would not be surprised if China boosts its grain exports in the coming weeks. Such an event would benefit the North American rail industry, with Union Pacific being well-positioned to see a traffic uptick.

“The USDA has forecasted a record 14.8-billion-bushel corn crop for 2012, up from 12.4 billion in the prior year and 11% higher than the previous record in 2009. We estimate that this forecast would translate to 3.6 million to 4.3 million rail carloads. According to Dahlman Rose Agriculture and Chemicals analyst Charles Neivert, the fast start to the 2012-2013 crop might mean that some harvests may take place earlier as a result of the early maturation of the crop. High production levels do not necessarily translate into increased traffic on the

Class I’s, as their involvement in transporting grain from farms to grain elevators and longer-term storage facilities is limited due to the short-haul nature of such moves as well as network limitations. Grain traffic on the railroads is more a function of demand than supply.

That said, the ample supply could lead to lower prices, which could in turn stimulate demand. “As such, the rail stocks could benefit from what we believe is a likely improvement in agricultural shipments in this year’s second half. A strong grain crop

along with continued growth in intermodal should help rail volumes in the second half of this year and in 2013. This should help shift focus away from the doubledigit declines we have experienced in coal and ease investor worry about the rail industry’s ability to grow its earnings in the future. It is this belief that makes us continued believers that the railroad group is one worth investing in today.

a burning issue However successful the railroads are in capturing traffic now moving by truck, coal will remain an important part of their traffic mix. In 2011, coal as a percentage of revenues was 32% for CSX, 31% for Norfolk Southern, 22% for Union Pacific, and 13% for Kansas City Southern. For 2012, the Energy Information Administration has said it expects utility coal consumption to be down 13% from last year to its lowest level in 20 years, though in mid-June it saw signs of a “slight rebound” and an increase of 3% in consumption in 2013. “EIA projects that the higher natural gas costs projected later in 2012 and in 2013, along with record coal stocks, will encourage generators to increase their utilization of coal-fired power plants somewhat next year,” said the agency. Rising export demand will to some extent offset the decline of coal for domestic use. China, which burns coal to meet around 80% of its electricity needs, consumes 15% of all global coal exports. Developing nations are also increasingly in the market for coal. Six new Powder River Basin export coal terminals are planned for Washington and Oregon. In a recent interview, Norfolk Southern CEO Wick Moorman acknowledged that the future of coal is “very cloudy,” but he also said, “It’s going to be with us as a source of fuel for a very long time.” As for export coal, he said, “We’ve seen that business really start to develop in a significant way this year.” RA 20

STOP IDLING

SAVE MONEY By equipping a locomotive with a HOTSTART block heater, the prime mover can be shut down and easily restarted. This eliminates the problems with idling including wasted fuel and oil, wet-stacking, emissions and engine wear. Find out how much you can save with HOTSTART engine heaters.

Putting GPS to better use for PTC

t has been stated that PTC in its proposed form 1) is not going to provide “precision or optimized dispatching,” 2) will not improve “overthe-road train performance,” and 3) only addresses “3% of all train accidents”, i.e., those that “are train control related.” Therefore, “The business of PTC is safety. Period.” (Railway Age, May 2010.) But train performance, optimized dispatching, improved train control, and the safety of train movements have been inseparable throughout the evolution of train control systems. Railroaders did not have a problem recognizing the economic and safety benefits of new train control systems in the past. Not so with PTC. Are the proposed PTC solutions capable of eliminating the 3% of the train accidents in question? I dare say no. Wayside signaling is a brilliantly engineered technology that served the railroads for more than 130 years. But every technology has its limits. Existing signaling systems evolved with one ultimate user in mind—a locomotive engineer who correctly reads every wayside signal (or the absence of one) and obeys its indications in accordance with operating rules. Most were not designed for direct, automatic train control (ATC), with or without PTC. But railroads really can’t blame the U.S. government for mandating PTC. Existing train collision prevention technology is inadequate, when the difference between a collision and a safe movement hinges on whether an engineer sees or misses just one wayside signal. This weakness was highlighted by the 2008 Chatsworth, Calif., collision prompting Congress to legislate the Railroad Safety Improvement Act of 2008, and PTC. The PTC mandate does not specifically require that implementation be a vital or non-vital overlay. But the attempt to overlay PTC on an existing signaling systems is like trying to upgrade a

black-and-white TV set to an HD flat screen. Nothing can make a black-andwhite CRT generate HD color video. The “resolution” of existing signaling is not sufficient for ATC. And due to the variety of signal systems, it will be very difficult to achieve true interoperability. But a truly interoperable system already exists, used in North America by all transportation modes—except railroads: GPS-based navigation (railroads do use GPS for train location). A car equipped with GPS, regardless of the manufacturer, provides its driver with precise navigation, whether it’s in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico. Airlines and the FAA are working on the NextGen air traffic control system, a GPS-based system that will replace the existing radar-based system by 2018.

An interoperable system already exists: GPS-based navigation. Some studies have been conducted under FRA auspices to evaluate GPS’s “suitability for track discrimination in PTC implementation.” It was deemed that average GPS accuracy of 15 meters (about 50 feet) is not sufficient for PTC, since track centers on multi-track lines are typically 14 to 20 feet apart. Yet GPS, with global coverage and 50-foot accuracy, is suitable for precision location and separation of airplanes in the air (which have six degrees of freedom in flight). Why not for safe separation of trains—with only one degree of freedom, the rails—on the same track? Existing switch circuit controllers and track circuits can determine when a block is occupied, reliably and accurately.

GPS can determine accurate location of a train on a given track. Any cross-track inaccuracy of GPS readings can be corrected to the proper and known track coordinates using a Best Fit algorithm. Any remaining longitudinal GPS inaccuracy then becomes manageable. One can mitigate the 50-foot uncertainty over where the lead locomotive or the end of train is by adding 50 feet to the required safety margins—less than a car length. If trains have two GPS receivers, one on the lead locomotive and the other on the End of Train device, the latter can transmit GPS data to the lead locomotive along with the present EOT telemetry. The location of both ends will be displayed on the locomotive GPS display, and look very much like an automobile GPS screen. A GPS-navigated train will know its precise position. To share this information with other trains in the vicinity, each will have to broadcast its GPS data to a land-based station, with the GPS data augmented by train number, speed, and track ID—very similar to the FAA’s NextGen Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADSB) subsystem. If we translate aviation lexicon into railroad terms, we’ll have a PTC “Automatic Dependent Train TrackingBroadcast” (ADTT-B) subsystem, a satellite-based successor to ABS. ADTT-B will make use of GPS to determine and share precise train location information, and stream additional train movement information to the locomotives of equipped trains.” M/w work zones can be marked on each end by portable GPS receiver/transmitter, which will transmit its location, gang ID number, etc. Work zone limits will appear on the GPS of approaching trains, as well as on the dispatcher monitors, and will be protected similarly to a stopped train.

Mike Haverty, Strategic thinker

A decade ago, few thought Kansas City Southern would be independent today. By lawRence H Kaufman, contributing editor

ike Haverty is a life-long railroader. Starting in the highly regarded Missouri Pacific management training program, he worked his way up through the operating ranks to become chief executive of the Santa Fe and the Kansas City Southern Railway. During his lengthy railroad career, Haverty endured the era of over-regulation that came close to bankrupting the industry— and did bankrupt a number of railroads—and he has participated in the renaissance of the industry. Today, he is the self-styled “Godfather” of Kansas City Southern, having relinquished the CEO position to David Starling, his hand-picked successor. Ask Haverty what he does now that he has no direct executive role in running KCS, and he smiles and says, “I’m the Godfather.” He holds the title of Executive Chairman, and is available to provide counsel and to deal with anything that comes along where he can play a role. For several years, KCS was every railroad expert’s candidate for the next Class I to disappear through merger with a bigger or more powerful carrier. The railroad is doing quite well, though, and you no longer hear talk that it may soon disappear. KCS is in the process of achieving investment grade status for its stock, and it now is assumed that if anyone thinks it would fit with another railroad’s system, an acquirer will be expected to pay a significant premium over current book and market value. It was not always thus. 22

In the mid-1990s, Kansas City Southern bid and paid more than $1 billion for the line connecting the port of Lazaro Cardenas on Mexico’s Pacific Coast with Nuevo Laredo on the Texas-Mexico border. The line KCS sought also had access to the huge Mexico City area and the industrial complex around Monterrey. Consultants, including some who had worked for KCS in developing its bid, were aghast at the price, believing that KCS had grossly overbid. Kansas City Southern de Mexico, the KCS Mexican subsidiary, now strongly contributes to volume and revenue growth, and you no longer hear much about the U.S. carrier having overpaid. At the time, KCS believed it was bidding against the wealthier and more powerful Union Pacific, and its bid was what it was convinced it would take to win the concession. UP tendered a much smaller amount and ended up with a percentage of Ferromex, while KCS got the prize it sought. Haverty later negotiated the transfer to KCS of the Mexican government’s 20% share of the railroad. Lazaro Cardenas subsequently became a significant port offering an alternative route to Los Angeles and Long Beach for importexport traffic between the middle U.S. and Asia. KCS intermodal traffic is steadily growing, and many once-skeptical rail analysts now believe it has a bright future. Mexico’s economy continues to grow, and just as it is in the U.S, intermodal volume is the growth driver for rail traffic.

Haverty knows intermodal. As president of the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, he negotiated the first agreement between a major trucking company and a railroad when he and J.B. Hunt agreed to put Hunt trailers on Santa Fe intermodal trains, an aggressive move to compete with truckload motor carriers. Until then, railroads and truckers had been vigorous competitors. While competition between the modes still is viral, most of the largest truckload carriers use at least some rail intermodal for their long hauls. Santa Fe subsequently merged with Burlington Northern in 1995 to form today’s BNSF Railway. Intermodal is BNSF’s largest traffic category, having passed coal almost a decade ago. Santa Fe was the ideal railroad to take on the task of penetrating the truckload industry. Its ‘Transcon’ route between Chicago and Southern California was engineered for 79 mph passenger service and the super-elevation had not been engineered out of curves as was done on most other railroads when they left the passenger business. BNSF premium intermodal trains take only slightly longer than Amtrak passenger trains to cover the more than 2,000 mile route. Haverty’s career at Santa Fe ended abruptly after a hedge fund tried to take over Santa Fe Industries, the holding company that owned the railroad. In successfully fending off the raid, Santa Fe spun off its non-railroad subsidiaries and ended up owning only the seventh largest of 11 U.S. Class I railroads. As a pure railroad, Santa Fe did not need two presidents, and the company was more Robert D. Krebs’ than it was Haverty’s. He consulted for a few years and then was brought in to KCS. When Haverty arrived in Kansas City, the railroad’s future was anything but bright. It was the smallest of the then-seven U.S. Class I railroads. Return on investment was meager. KCS was owned by Kansas City Southern Industries, a holding

company far more interested in running mutual funds and serving financial services companies than it was in running trains. The railroad was for sale, but no buyer was available. One signal that the railroad did not fit into the holding company’s long term plan was that the chief executive had a utility background with no railroad experience. Haverty says, “They asked me when I came down in the (1993-1994) time frame if I would help them to sell the railroad, and I said that’s not what I do. I don’t like to sell railroads. I like to run them.” Many in the railroad industry regarded Haverty as a traditional railroad operating man who knew how to get trains over the road efficiently and how to maintain equipment and infrastructure properly. Somehow, they didn’t regard him as the change agent he has proven to be, missing the creativity and significance of his Santa Fe-J.B. Hunt joint venture. He has proved to be an excellent strategic thinker. Before Haverty’s arrival, KCS had bought regional railroad Mid-South, itself a spin-off from the Illinois Central, which had an east-west line known today as the Meridian Speedway. “It wasn’t because they were looking at growing and merging and becoming bigger,” Haverty says. “They bought that because they thought that it would make (KCS) more attractive to a buyer.” He says the holding company people thought Norfolk Southern might want to buy KCS to get the Meridian Speedway, a vital route for NS. KCSI, Haverty says, was a confusing agglomeration of businesses and never achieved the synergies that were the justification for the many railroad conglomerates that were created throughout the industry. Also before Haverty’s involvement with KCS, Illinois Central agreed to buy the railroad, but the deal collapsed.

KCS intermodal traffic is steadily growing, and many onceskeptical rail analysts now believe it has a bright future.

Architect of chAnge: MiKe hAVertY Some railroad industry experts say the IC-KCS combination failed because IC arrogantly took the position that KCS needed “shaping up” and sent some executives to Kansas City to start the process. KCS managers, like those on just about every railroad, have their pride and made it clear that the IC executives were neither appreciated nor welcome. There also might have been some regulatory “issues” of premature control, which have scuttled other rail mergers. KCSI spun off parts of the holding company in 1995, beginning the dismantling of the company that didn’t really take place until 2000, when the railroad was separated from the Janus and Berger mutual fund families and DST, the financial services operation, shrinking the company to the pure railroad that it is today. The company had to undergo a 2-for-1 reverse stock split that Haverty calls a “painful process,” in order to keep the stock price in double digits. KCS employees and executives no longer look over their shoulders to see if an acquirer is gaining on them. They also have been able to focus their efforts on upgrading the railroad and improving the service it provides customers. One of the first significant projects was upgrading the “Meridian Speedway,” a joint venture with Norfolk Southern to upgrade service between Meridian, Miss., through Jackson and Vicksburg, Miss., and on to Shreveport and the Dallas-Fort

Worth complex. NS, which had the cash to fund most of the project, had the traffic base but it lacked a high-speed route into the heartland of Texas. The Speedway gives NS the direct route it needs, shorter than either the route through New Orleans or Memphis that it was forced to use previously. The Meridian Speedway project triggered a lot of gossip that it would not be long before NS would acquire KCS, but such talk eventually died out. KCS became the subject of merger rumors more recently after New York hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management spearheaded a shakeup of the Canadian Pacific. Talk of a CP tie-up assumed that a newly aggressive CP would want KCS to provide it with a direct route running north-south between Canada and Mexico, using the CP’s former Milwaukee Road route from the Twin Cities to a junction with KCS at Kansas City. CP rival CN already has a single-line route from the industrial heart of Canada down the east bank of the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. CN’s purchase of the Illinois Central in 1999 greatly expanded its traffic opportunities in North American north-south markets. CN still does not have direct single-line rail access to Mexico and must interline traffic to/from Mexican automobile assembly plants and other industries. KCS, on the other hand, has its own route around the busy

Houston area to Corpus Christi, Tex., where it connects with the former Texas-Mexican Railroad, now also part of the KCS system. KCS has a direct route from Corpus Christi over the Tex-Mex to Laredo, where it crosses the border into Mexico. The 67-year-old Haverty does more than oversee his growing railroad. Under the previous management, KCS was barely known in its headquarters city. Under Haverty, the railroad accepts its civic role, participating in charity events and making its facilities available. The situation appeared grim when Haverty first arrived in Kansas City. Combinations of other railroads cut into KCS traffic base, which was only about $550 million in a universe of multi-billion-dollar railroads. Haverty points out the UP acquisition of the Chicago & North Western led to diversion from KCS of significant grain volume, for example. “We were going to lose 20% of our revenue,” Haverty says. There were many people who believed Haverty was only going to be a placeholder who would make some improvements and then sell off the railroad as a whole or in parts. He says his understanding when he took the job was that KCS would work on remaining independent. Haverty considers himself “a railroad guy.” He says he’s willing to make deals, but they have to benefit the railroad. “I’m the core kind of guy who believes you make money in the core

business. Quite frankly, I believe all this diversification, all these ‘industries,’ contribute to management losing focus.” There was some thought of including KCS in the CN-IC merger, making it a three-way deal, but Paul Tellier, then CN president and chief executive, said he knew that Haverty didn’t want to participate in a merger at the time, and “I don’t do hostile deals.” Haverty says he told Tellier that KCS had just made the huge investment in the Mexican railroad and had not yet gotten value out of that transaction. “For us to do something (along that line) would basically be giving away the value of our asset,” Haverty says. He is conscious of the fact that while he may have been chief executive of the company, he doesn’t own it. “The stockholders do,” he says. “It wasn’t that I wouldn’t do a deal. At the time, it just didn’t make sense.” KCS and CN did enter into a marketing agreement with each railroad making an investment in terminal facilities in the heart of the other’s system and allowing the other access to its facilities. Haverty and Tellier initially met quarterly to try to maximize the agreement for each railroad. Haverty enjoys being the “Godfather” of one of the seven Class I railroads in the U.S., and is proud of his accomplishments at KCS. RA

high speed rAil Cynics and naysayers dispute whether any progress in high speed rail—or even higher-speed rail (HrSR)—is being made in the U.S. The evidence suggests otherwise.

early 50 years after Railway Age documented parallel nascent efforts to advance high speed rail in France and the U.S., France has lots of HSR. The U.S. has very little, even if one grades on a charitable curve. But the U.S. is finally resuming its quest for HSR on the West Coast, in the Midwest, and (of course) in the Northeast Corridor. Wisconsin and Florida rejected federal HSR funding in 2011, resulting in redirected funds for California HSR, Midwest

By Douglas John Bowen, Managing eDitoR higher-speed rail (HrSR), and upgrades on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor allowing top speeds to 160 mph from the current 135 mph maximum. California last month was still struggling to commence construction of a portion of its proposed 700-mile, true (200 mph) HSR system, linking San Diego and Los Angeles in the south with twin northern terminals in Sacramento and San Francisco. The state legislature had to decide whether to release Proposition 1A high speed rail bond funds to match $3.3 billion in federal grants. Suppliers, anticipating approval, were jockeying for position, with at least one, Siemens Mobility, touting its advantage as a “hometown” candidate, based on its manufacturing presence in Sacramento, the state capital.

u.s. high sPeeD Rail Fiscal concerns have hampered California’s efforts to begin work on its HSR program.

Last year, California already had $5.5 billion lined up for its HSR effort, and had chosen the state’s Central Valley as the location to commence construction. But the questions remain: How should the U.S. attempt to join the ranks of “true HSR” nations? Should the effort be allout, or should the U.S. take a step-by-step approach—metaphorically, walk before it jogs, and then runs? Or is a third option available? As attendees from around the world gather in Philadelphia this month for UIC Highspeed 2012, those questions, and myriad others, will be discussed by global rail suppliers all too eager to add the U.S. to the list of HSR nations.

entangled in labels Part of the problem—and perhaps also a beneficial agent as well—is the American genius in marketing HrSR as true high speed rail. Anti-rail partisans can leap on 110 mph as “not worth the effort” and “a pale failure” in imagination and effort. But advocates and rail suppliers can counter that 110 mph beats 79 (or 59), is far more affordable, and is more quickly achieved, delivering tangible results more quickly (and, in theory, whetting the public’s prorail appetite for more). “If you have a train that can run on high speed tracks and conventional tracks, then you can build segments of high speed track, the way we did with the Interstate Highway system, the way the French did with rail, the way the Germans did with rail,” says Richard Harnish, executive director of the Midwest High Speed Rail Association (MHSRA). “Every 10 years we said we’re going to figure out how to do high speed rail, and then we don’t.” MHSRA decided to pursue goals a given Midwest state, such as Illinois, “can do in a year,” Harnish says. But Harnish is uncomfortable with “incrementalism” as an approach—or at least as the label. “The challenge is in closing the grade crossings, and putting the wires up,” he says, and that involves early planning so that if and when funding becomes available, the state or states can act. Harnish says MHSRA convinced several mayors in “downstate” Illinois of HSR’s worth in 2006, and “that set the stage for implementing the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) for service that was approved when money became available.” Though Union Pacific and the state of Illinois have garnered

much of the initial Midwest attention by upgrading a substantial portion of the route to 110 mph speeds, Harnish notes ChicagoDetroit is also in play, with speeds already at 110 west of Kalamazoo, Mich. “So we must make sure that Michigan designs the route so that 200 mph trains can operate on it” in the future. “That’s how you start building out; instead of jumping mph up in bumps, you prepare segments of 200 mph track,” Harnish says.

california touts “blended” hsr approach On the West Coast, California appears to have adjusted its approach to HSR by deciding to mix pure HSR segments with shared-use segments, in response to criticism (negative and also more benign) from various critics. The state’s HSR proponents, led by Gov. Jerry Brown, have agreed (some say acquiesced) to “integrated infrastructure investments,” or a “blended” approach for portions of the proposed routes with more existing conventional passenger rail services, such as Altamont Commuter

In its Revised 2012 Business Plan issued in April, CHSRA says, “Through collaborative planning and implementation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Amtrak, Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), BNSF Railway, and Union Pacific, the San Joaquin rail service (fifth busiest in the nation) will be shifted to the first construction segment upon its completion, resulting in a 45-minute time savings; through complementary improvements, this will tie with ACE to provide new, expanded, and improved rail service throughout northern California, connecting the Central Valley with the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento regions.” That’s an opportunity and not a burden, suggests Anthony Perl, director of the Urban Studies Program at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia. “Incrementalism needs to happen at the urban nodes in the HSR system—the Bay Area, the LA time GE Transportation hasBasin—at leveragedthe thesame global reach its venerable company to land sales of that we deployof world-class highparent speed rail technology between its Evolution Series locomotives in South Africa and Brazil, as well as in North America.

the nodes,” Perl says. “Outside the Northeast, the U.S. is just too big to have ‘game changing’ intercity travel outcomes with incremental rail.” True HSR is required perhaps “not over an entire route but over the stretches that go through rural America. This is where the California project appears headed.” Perl, and others, question the accuracy of recent polls suggesting California voters have turned against HSR development. Roger Christensen, a transit advocate from Los Angeles County and former chairman of the Metro Citizen Advisory Council, recently wrote that anti-rail partisans “claim there’s no business plan or ridership figures. Except that anyone can go on the California HighSpeed Rail Authority website and download them.” Adds CHSRA Executive Director Daniel Krause, “CHSRA is deeply concerned by the misleading nature of the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times high speed rail poll. Several of the survey questions set up false choices and contain he-said, she-said statements in the absence of well-researched and accurate information, thus unfairly influencing and biasing poll respondents.”

Attention to details California’s hopes are shared by many outside the state. “We have to get a HSR line built somewhere in the United States,” says MHSRA’s Harnish. “We’ve watched San Jose interests focus on what an actual bridge for the project should look like, what it should do, and we’ve seen active discussion on the design problems for access to LA Union Station. That shows the project has legs.” Midwest interests are also active. Among other players, the University of Illinois, backed by state funding and Illinois DOT assistance, is outlining HSR options involving O’Hare International Airport, various Illinois urban locales, and Indianapolis and other origin/destination points. The university and its namesake state each has its own enlightened self-interest at stake, Harnish notes. “The governor wants to reposition the University of Illinois as a major world player, and the only way to do that is with HSR,” Harnish says.

Tie and switch Tamping

With track time at a premium, tamping practices are becoming faster and more productive By Mischa Wanek-LiBMan, engineering editor

n increase in heavier and more frequent loads is reducing the amount of time allotted for track maintenance. Those same factors also require maintenance practices, such as tamping, to not just maintain track, but to sustain that maintenance for a longer period of time. harsco Railâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model 6700 production/switch Tamper includes a new positive displacement work head.

Continuous action, high speeds Plasser American Corp. has observed an increase in the amount of track maintenance required due to increased axle loads and higher tonnage. “With traffic at the current levels, track time is a premium. This is why continuous action and multiple tie tamping machines achieving high performance and quality for long lasting track are so important,” says Plasser. “Return on investment on high-speed tamping machine calculations proves that high capacity machines result in a lower cost per foot to maintain.” The company’s latest designs in tamping machines put an emphasis on higher productivity in the form of multiple tie tamping, versatility, and integrating dynamic track stabilizing into the tamping machine. The 09-3X-CW Dynamic Tamping Express is a continuous action tamping, lifting, leveling, and lining machine with integrated dynamic track stabilizer, which is capable of tamping concrete or wood ties at the push of a button. Through the integration of the newly developed tamping unit with ATLAS (Automated Tie Locating Analyzing System) and the ATTA (Automated Tamping Tool Adjustment), 32

the 09-3X-CW has the ability to detect tie spacing, position the satellite, and adjust the tamping units and tamping tools to tamp three ties or one tie automatically. Plasser American says its 09-4X Dynamic Tamping Express brings a new definition of track maintenance speed by offering continuous action, four-tie lifting, leveling, and lining with integrated dynamic track stabilization capable of production rates up to 1.7 miles per hour. The Unimat 09-32-4S Dynamic, a combination production and switch continuous action tamping machine, has a three-rail lifting device and four-rail tamping, which enables correct tamping of a turnout and carefully handling of rails, ties, and rail fastening systems. The intergraded track stabilizer compacts the ballast and raises the lateral stability. Other multiple tie tamping machines offered by Plasser are: the 09-32 Dyna-C.A.T.

Tamping combined with lifting, leveling and lining removes existing faults in longitudinal and alignment faults in the track. Tamping eliminates voids under the ties to distribute the load uniformly onto the ties and dispersed into the subsoil,” says Plasser. Plasser says long-lasting track geometry quality is achieved by non-synchronous squeeze pressure, which results in uniform compacted ballast under the ties. “This means that each tamping arms squeezes independently to a preset optimal tamping pressure. Another important factor in tamping is the tamping frequency. It has been proven that the ultimate tamping frequency is 35Hz. At this frequency the ballast becomes fluid enough for proper penetration of the tamping tools and still maintain a state where it can be tightly compacted. At frequencies above 35 Hz, the ballast becomes too fluid and difficult to compact. Dynamic track stabilizing combined with tamping helps to exte wnd the maintenance cycles by around 30%, plus it reduces slow orders after tamping,” says Plasser. Switches are another area the company says requires proper attention when tamping. Plasser’s third-rail lifting device on its heavy-duty switch tampers is synchronized with the main lifts and hoists the turnout rails through the long ties, which reduces the stresses on the ties, rail, and fasteners, and eliminates the need for additional track jacks. Plasser’s “Split Head” tamping units are individually controlled, with both lateral and vertical adjustment. “This unique split shift system provides several major advantages over other switch production tampers. Each unit is raised and lowered vertically instead of at an angle, which concentrates ballast compaction near the rail base area where it is most needed,” says Plasser. “Unnecessary tamping at or beyond tie ends or center binding is eliminated. Each individual tamping unit control allows complete switch tamping with a minimum of horizontal tamping unit adjustment, thus reducing the amount of time required to tamp a switch.”

efficiency, high productivity “The big thing we hear about all the time is tighter work windows and the total cost of ownership, which ties in to better maintenance planning,” says Allen Branham, product manager surfacing equipment with Harsco Rail. Increasing productivity is critical to meeting the increasing velocity demands of today’s railroads. For this, Harsco has developed the DRONE Chase Tamper, a truck transportable, unmanned tamper that follows behind a lead machine and tamps those ties the lead machine misses. Any tamper equipped with Harsco’s Jupiter control system is capable of acting as a lead machine to the DRONE. “The primary purpose is to take a standard production/ July 2012 Railway age 33

Tie and sWiTch Tamping switch tamper and allow it to become a high production tamper,” says Branham. “You can configure multiple lead machines with the appropriate interconnect hardware to communicate with the DRONE and you can transport your productivity by just moving the DRONE. You also gain redundancy in your fleet in that your production tampers are the same as your switch tampers when we’re talking about the lead machine. It gives railroads the opportunity to have a fleet of production and switch tampers that can also be turned into high production tampers just by adding the DRONE. Because it’s a separate unit, it allows us to deal with the varying track conditions such as poor tie spacing or skewed ties.” Additional modifications to Harsco’s fleet of tampers include a new PD work head on its Model 6700 Production/Switch Tamper. PD stands for positive displacement and, according to Branham, the new work head will provide better ballast penetration and compaction in a split tool design that uses similar vibrating principles utilized on Harsco’s Mark IV and Mark VI tampers. “What this has done is allow us to increase productivity. In many cases, we would not need to perform a double tamp, the job is done in a single tamp,” says Branham. While tamping is needed to maintain proper track geometry, Branham points out that sustaining track geometry is also of interest to the railroads. “What the railroads are interested in is machines that provide a good track quality and a sustainable track quality, which goes back to proper compaction of the ballast while you’re tamping. Railroads know tamping is necessary, but the better tamping quality, the better compaction, the more sustainable track geometry will be,” says Branham. Additional tamping trends Branham has noticed include an interest in smaller, more portable tampers that are capable of being transported on trucks instead of along the rails. Branham says these smaller, lightweight machines are good for spot tamping and moving quickly from site to site. “We offer a few products to meet these needs. These machines have lifting and lining capability and the ability to record track geometry on a small machine. It’s not as productive, but it’s effective with regards to portability,” says Branham. Looking further down the road of tamping maintenance, Branham says that Harsco’s DRONE Tamper has opened the doors for additional unmanned equipment, such as the company’s DRONE Anchor Adjuster, which is in the prototype stage. “All of this is an evolution in our tie finding technology,” says Branham. “Once we perfected our tie finding technology to the point that it was approaching 99.99% accuracy, we were able to develop tampers and an anchor adjuster and we plan to develop other DRONE products, which reduces cost while increasing productivity.” RA

(JULY 1912) GENERAL NEWS On the evening of July 9th, the Sand Patch tunnel of the Baltimore & Ohio, about 30 miles northwest of Cumberland, was blocked by the caving in of a part of the roof, and trains had to be detoured over the new line of the Western Maryland, which is parallel to the Baltimore & Ohio at that point. This trouble, which had been expected, will block the road several weeks.

financial edge anthony KRuglinsKi

What good—and bad—behavior is all about

have been writing financial columns for Railway Age for more than 20 years. From time to time, I’ve used this space to poke someone to remind them what good and bad behavior is all about. In the early 1990s I had more than one occasion to remind freelance equipment “brokers” that claiming to represent equipment in the marketplace that they did not actually represent was—can you say it any other way?—dishonest. There were also other columns on being frank and truthful in various aspects of dealing with counter-parties in equipment transactions. Those of you who have been reading my stuff for the past two decades might remember these pieces. They tended to stand out. Recently, I was informed of a rumor that someone in the operating leasing fraternity was telling lessees that if they hired an advisor, he wouldn’t work with them. Initially, I didn’t believe that anyone would make so blatant an attempt to restrict trade in our industry, but I’m one of those people who believe that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. First, I asked myself, why would anyone make such a threat? On its surface it looks like he or she would have to be saying: “I don’t want you to have professional advice when we bid and negotiate your deal.” But that just didn’t make sense. Then I thought about the current red hot market for finance leasing deals of eight years or more where the lessee is a well-rated credit. (We reported on this last month in our Guide to Equipment Leasing.) If you are such a lessee, you can hit the bank lessors’ “sweet spot” and end up with a monthly rental that is hundreds of dollars less per month than a comparable quote from an operating lessor seeking to compete in a market that the banks now dominate. 40

Railway age

July 2012

Most of the operating lessors I have discussed this with concede that this (eight- to 12-year leases to top credits) may just not be a market in which they can compete effectively at this point in time. Their strong suit has traditionally been one- to five-year leases, particularly full service leases, where the banks just won’t go. However, I can see how a sales guy in the field could be unhappy at his one- to five-year year net leasing client opting for a longer term with a bank.

The rail equipment marketplace is a long game where people have long memories. Now if this is the issue and all our guy did was state that he was not going to waste his time bidding against cheaper bank financing, he would have been perfectly within his rights to do so. But the rumor reported to us was just a broad undefined threat. Here’s the enlightened “morality” bit. Assuming that there was no legitimate reason for someone warning someone not to work with someone else, making the kind of threat that was alleged makes the person making the threat seem panicked and desperate. Despite the fact that it handles billions of dollars in equipment each year, the rail leasing market is still a very small community. Everyone pretty much knows everyone else’s business. And everyone talks to everyone and eventually it will get back to the person who is the target of the threat.

When someone makes threat like that, it eventually comes back to bite them. (It always does.) However, let’s assume that, after investigation, the rumor was found not to be true. Why then devote this column to this subject? It’s because we are presently in a superheated equipment market. A lot of money is going to be made or not made in a relatively short period of time as a blast of deals hit the street. Money can spawn a lot of emotions. Railcars are in high demand and there is little or no “flex” in the marketplace. This tight equipment market (both for new and used cars) comes at a time of historic low interest rates that are driving it. Emotions are running high in some corners with people who have never before been in the market competing for covered hoppers and tank cars for moving frac sand or oil with traditional end-users. Operating lessors who already own this kind of equipment may be enjoying high rental rates on their cars, but they are also seeing new buyers causing prices for new cars to rise. These same new buyers are competing with operating lessors for used cars that come to market. These operating lessors are also contemplating what may happen if there is an equipment “bubble” due to overbuilding that eventually bursts to their detriment of their fleets. The point is that there may be more than the usual amount of emotion and stress in the rail equipment leasing market at the moment. Our advice? Remember that the rail equipment marketplace is a long game where people have long memories. People you work with today will likely be the people with whom you will have to work tomorrow. Don’t do anything you may regret when the market turns—as it will!
