July 2020 // Railway Age 1

FROM THE EDITOR I’m Having a “Moment” or Two ...

A

t my age (I won’t reveal it to you, but here’s a hint: I was born in late 1959), if I forget something, or get confused, I can claim a “senior moment” and get away with it.

My favorite follow-up is that old saw: “Two things happen as you age. First, remembering stuff becomes more difficult. Second ... ah ... um ... well ... I ... don’t remember.”

It’s also said that one becomes more cynical with age. Yeah, okay. Or more apathetic. Frankly, I don’t give a damn!

I could keep going here with these “moments,” but you probably want to read something a little more serious, right? Or perhaps optimistic, given the events of the past few months?

Okay. How about the “North American Moment”? Those words are on the cover, and they’re on page 8, the cover story, our Midyear Report, something I and my predecessors have been writing about for, well, at the moment I don’t quite remember! Darn!

Prior to sitting down to write the cover story, I had a thought. That happens from time to time. Seriously, I didn’t want to produce a “traditional” Midyear Report.

What would I say that everyone doesn’t already know? Rail freight traffic is wallowing in the pit of a global pandemic? Rail transit ridership almost disappeared?

There will be a recovery? Exactly when, no one knows? Maybe Tuesday? Of next year?

The Pope is a Catholic? Phil Collins is a left-handed drummer who can play the hell out of a big-band jazz chart (bet you didn’t know that), and he sings, too?

Canadian jazz pianist/vocalist Diana Krall is married to Elvis Costello, who is British, and whose real name is Declan Patrick Aloysius Macmanus (bet you didn’t know that, either), etc., etc.?

So what about this North American Moment? Kansas City Southern CEO Pat Ottensmeyer, our 2020 Railroader of the Year (that’s why a KCS freight train is on the cover and on p. 8, but you get the connection), coined this phrase, which I believe should be a standard part of the railroading lexicon, rather than another acronym (PTC, PSR, OR, EBITDA, blah blah blah, ad nauseum).

Here it is, stated simply and clearly by Ottensmeyer: “The combination of approval, and now entry into force, of USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) on July 1, 2020, coupled with the emerging desire of global supply chain leaders to disfavor China, presents an enormous opportunity for investment in North America. North American railroads will play a critical role in facilitating this opportunity and leading our countries out of the current recession. Railroads connect the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and our networks are the backbone of North American supply chains.” Yes! As I write this, I’m listening to “Open Wide” by the Don Ellis Orchestra, at the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival (it’s on YouTube, definitely worth checking out).

Open Wide. Rather like the North American railroad network, don’t you think? I’m “in the Moment.” Are you?

Industry Indicators IMPACT ON RAIL TRAFFIC WAS PREDICTABLE: AAR “Huge swaths of the U.S. and global economies remained shut in May, and the impact on rail traffic was predictable,” the Association of American Railroads noted last month. “Total U.S. carloads fell 27.7% in May 2020 from May 2019, the biggest year-over-year decline for any month on record (our year-over-year comparisons begin in 1989) and worse than the 25.2% decline in April. For intermodal, things were bad but not as bad: originations were down 13.0% in May, better than the 17.2% decline in April. May was the worst month for U.S. coal carloads in history, breaking the record set in April. Excluding coal, carloads fell 21.9%, a decline exceeded several times during the Great Recession.”

CLASS I EMPLOYMENT DROP STEADY-STATE Figures released by the STB show Class I total railroad employment decreased 1% in May 2020, measured against May 2019. Figures of plus or minus 1% have remained constant for well over one year. All six employment categories experienced virtually the same percentage drop, 1%, when rounding is taken into account. This indicates reductions attributable to PSR, but traffic decline and COVID-19-related layoffs may figure. Looking at the bigger picture, total Class I employment has dropped 18.4% over the past 17 months, from 145,592 in January 2018.

Industry Outlook

LNG Approved For Rail Transport THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (USDOT) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), in consultation with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), issued on June 19 a final rule authorizing the bulk transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by rail.

Specifically, the rule will permit the bulk transportation of LNG in DOT-113C120W9 (DOT-113) specification tank cars with enhanced outer tank requirements and additional operational controls. The publication complies with Executive Order 13868 (EO 13868), “Promoting Energy Infrastructure and Economic Growth,” issued in April 2019.

“With FRA approval, LNG has previously been authorized for transport by rail in a portable tank,” DOT noted. “Federal Hazardous Materials Regulations have also authorized the transportation of other flammable cryogenic materials for many years in DOT-113 tank cars. Importantly, this final rule also incorporates newly designated additional safety requirements, such as an enhanced thicker carbon steel outer tank.”

The rule also requires remote monitoring of the pressure and location of LNG tank cars. In addition, “to improve braking,” the rule requires a two-way EOT (end-of-train) device or DP (distributed power) system when a train is transporting 20 or more tank cars loaded with LNG in a 6 Railway Age // July 2020

continuous block, or 35 or more such tank cars of LNG anywhere in the train consist.

Furthermore, the rule requires railroads to conduct route risk assessments to evaluate safety and security.

“EO 13868 recognized the growth of energy production in the U.S., coupled with an increased global demand for U.S. natural gas,” DOT said. “The rule prescribes regulations that reflect best practices and best-available technologies, sets increased regulatory certainty and provides policies that promote America’s natural resources.”

“Given growing demand for natural gas both here in the U.S. and overseas, it is important to have clear federal regulations in place allowing for LNG’s shipment by rail, which provides one of the safest and most versatile means of transporting hazardous materials anywhere in the country, said Railway Supply Institute (RSI) President Mike O’Malley. “Federal hazardous materials regulations have for many years allowed the safe and efficient transport of cryogenic materials in DOT-113 tank cars and we commend the U.S. Department of Transportation for following that precedent in authorizing the transportation of LNG by rail in DOT-113 tank cars.

“RSI’s Committee on Tank Cars appreciates the opportunity to provide input on this rule and will continue its work advancing the safe and efficient movement of hazardous materials by tank car.”

THE NEW YORK MTA last month declared that a 60-day hold on capital projects announced in March will remain in place while the transit agency tries to secure another $3.9 billion in emergency federal funding.

The MTA’s $54.8 billion 2020-2024 FiveYear Capital Plan ($51 billion of which is for transit projects)—the largest in its history, which includes upgrades to signaling and train control and stations and purchase of new railcars—will be frozen indefinitely due to the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. The hold closely follows MTA Chair Patrick Foye’s pronouncement that the agency could be on the brink of a “financial calamity” by this month without additional federal relief.

Also affected are projects in the remaining year of the MTA’s $31 billion 2015-2019 Capital Plan. Among them are signal modernization on the A/C/E subway lines, elevator installations at more than a dozen subway stations to bring them into compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, and structural repairs along the No. 7 line, including renovation at seven stops.

In the face of these draconian measures, which are bound to have a major impact on the MTA’s numerous contractors, consultants and equipment suppliers, the agency referred to the years in the 1970s when its rail systems—namely, the NYCT subway— were literally falling apart.

“We can’t go back to the bad old days of sacrificing capital [funding] for operating [expenses],” Andrei Berman, an MTA spokesperson, told local media. “All of these projects are necessary for ensuring that New Yorkers have a modernized transit system and we will continue fighting in Washington to get the funding we need to move forward.”

The MTA said COVID-19-related losses totaled 45.3% of the agency’s 2020 Adopted Budget and deficits totaling $10.3 billion through 2021. The MTA added it is expected to exhaust all CARES funding received in the first congressional relief package by July, with 73% of that federal grant having been drawn down to cover agency operating expenses in the months since late January. railwayage.com

EUROPEAN UNION (EU) antitrust regulators set a deadline of July 16 for a decision on whether to approve ALSTOM’S bid for BOMBARDIER TRANSPORTATION. Alstom confirmed the proposed deal, in which it will acquire 100% of Bombardier’s shares for between $6.5-6.9 billion (C$8.8-9.4 billion), in February.

Under the deal, CDPQ (Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec), which currently holds a 32.5% stake in Bombardier Transportation, will become Alstom’s largest shareholder with around 18% of capital.

railwayage.com

CDPQ will reinvest about $2.2 billion (C$3.3 billion) in Alstom, plus an additional $784 million (C$1.06 billion).

BOUYGUES will remain a shareholder in Alstom with around 10% of capital. DG COMPETITION, the antitrust arm of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION (EC), can either clear the deal with or without conditions or, if it has serious concerns, open a four-month-long investigation.

NORTH AMERICA The MASSACHUSETTS BAY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (MBTA) Fiscal and Management Control Board approved two two-year optional extensions through June 30, 2026 of the existing Commuter Rail Operating contract between the MBTA and KEOLIS COMMUTER SERVICES, LLC, the MBTA’s contracted Commuter Rail operating partner, with Keolis currently providing all mechanical, transportation and engineering services. The current eight-year contract began July 1, 2014, and is set to expire June 30, 2022. The MBTA’s contract with Keolis is performance-based, with the contract including a

fixed price for a certain level of service and penalties related to on-time performance and passenger comfort. In collaboration with the MBTA during the current contract period, Keolis has added 10,000 more trains per year compared to 2014, including new weekend train service, piloted routes and other services; deployed customer improvements that include technology that allows passengers to pay for tickets onboard with credit and debit cards; and reinforced safety management protocols that include an expanded and updated Safety Department.

The extensions give the MBTA the ability to opt out after option year 3 (FY 2025) and account for contractual cost growth with inflation rates reflecting current railroad industry relevant cost increases. The projected net total new cost per contract year, which assumes a minimum of $100 million in capital work per contract year or a minimum general and administrative expense fee of $6 million, is an estimated $16,273,987 for CY7/FY21; an estimated $34,704,927 for CY8/FY22; an estimated $35,063,511 for CY9/FY23; an estimated $43,398,524 for CY10/FY24; an estimated $46,833,816 for CY11/FY25; and an estimated $48,144,883 for CY12/FY26.

MIDYEAR REPORT

NORTH AMERICAN MOMENT In a world turned upsidedown, opportunities abound. Will railroads seize the moment?

BY WILLIAM C. VANTUONO, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF 8 Railway Age // July 2020

Kansas City Southern

uly 1, the day that the tumultuous Year 2020 turned six months old, was a watershed day in the North American railroad saga, and not because of COVID-19, which sent the economy into a crash dive. We all know the pandemic’s effects, from which it will take a long time to recover. It’s due to a five-letter acronym, familiar to many, but largely overlooked in a virussaturated environment: USMCA, which took effect on 7/1/2020, more than two decades after its predecessor NAFTA became part of the North American economic vocabulary. NAFTA was itself a watershed agreement that helped define one of the strongest growth periods in railroading. USMCA, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, is the foundation for what can arguably be called the “North American Moment.” USMCA isn’t much different than NAFTA, but it nevertheless is “momentus.”

railwayage.com

AN OPPORTUNITY, AND A CALL TO ACTION “The USMCA’s entry into force marks the beginning of a historic new chapter for North American trade by modernizing the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in a manner designed to spur robust economic growth across the continent,” says Kansas City Southern President and CEO Pat Ottensmeyer, Railway Age’s 2020 Railroader of the Year. The agreement contains global best-in-class trade provisions in areas such as agricultural market access, digital trade, financial services, regulatory policy, and numerous other sectors. These enhancements will deliver more jobs, provide stronger labor protections, and expand market access, creating new opportunities for American workers, farmers and ranchers.”

So how exactly could this affect North American railroads?

“The COVID-19 global health pandemic has caused multi-national companies to rethink their supply chain strategies,” says Ottensmeyer.

“The strained relationship between the USMCA partners and China has

MIDYEAR REPORT introduced an emerging thesis in supply chain leaders, informally referred to as the ‘ABC (Anywhere But China) Strategy’ as they think about their future sourcing and procurement strategies.

“On April 24, 2020, U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer notified Congress that Canada and Mexico took measures necessary to comply with their commitments under USMCA. Following that notification to Congress, the U.S. became the third country to notify the other parties that it had completed its domestic procedures to implement the agreement—the final step necessary for the USMCA to enter into force.”

Here is an excerpt of Ambassador Lighthizer’s statement to Congress: “The crisis and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that now, more than ever, the United States should strive to increase manufacturing capacity and investment in North America. The USMCA’s entry into force is a landmark achievement in that effort. USTR will continue working to ensure a smooth implementation of the USMCA so that American workers and businesses can enjoy the benefits of the new agreement.”

“The combination of approval, and now entry into force, of USMCA on July 1, 2020, coupled with the emerging desire of global supply chain leaders to disfavor China, presents an enormous opportunity for investment in North America,” notes Ottensmeyer. “North American railroads will play a critical role in facilitating this opportunity and leading our countries out of the current recession. Railroads connect the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and our networks are the backbone of North American supply chains.”

Here is the challenge, according to Ottensmeyer: “Misalignment of government policy across North America, such as the current situation caused by the lack of coordination of ‘essential services’ in the three countries, could potentially result in the underperformance of existing, well-established supply chains. If North America is able to better coordinate health and safety initiatives with other important issues such as security July 2020 // Railway Age 9

MIDYEAR REPORT (including cyber), efficiency and workforce development, to name a few, there is a path for the continent to emerge as an even stronger force in global manufacturing and logistics.

“Tighter coordination and alignment of priorities between the private sector and the three governments would be extremely helpful in charting a sustainable course of action to pursue this opportunity. USMCA calls for the establishment of a ‘Committee for Competitiveness’ (Chapter 21). Specifically, this Chapter calls for this committee to be comprised by ‘authorities’ from the three countries, but also includes a subsection allowing for ‘consultation’ of other parties. We would strongly encourage the authorities to use this moment to establish a meaningful, high-level interaction that includes key members of the private sector with this Committee for Competitiveness to meet the objectives of Chapter 21 and to assure that, unlike the 25-year-old NAFTA, the new USMCA stays current and relevant as circumstances change.”

“Gil Lamphere pioneered Precision Scheduled Railroading with Harrison at the IC, so it was fitting that he led off with a description of PSR as originally formed and what it has morphed into. Dealy then drilled down into PSR as now applied on the North American railroads: similarities, differences, challenges ahead.

“My take-aways: “Intermodal, coal and merchandise all have different ORs (operating ratios) because of the nature of their service. The common thread of coal and intermodal is that they are point-to-point, with little activity between OD (origin-destination) pairs. Merchandise is like an hourglass: Many origins gathering at the top, flowing through a constricting middle, and being dispersed to a wide variety of destinations at the bottom. As a result, each service has a different OR as a standalone and must be managed accordingly.

MIDYEAR REPORT “Pricing is one area that needs improvement. Intermodal pricing is pretty inelastic, and coal is customer-directed. Merchandise, however, can be priced by commodity OD pairs to be much more truck-competitive. One size does not fit all, and PSR can make possible pricing and blocking to the distant node—something Conrail pioneered years ago.

“Intermodal and coal are by nature PSR operations. There are trains originating at specific times, traveling over specific routes, arriving at specific destinations at predetermined times. Merchandise is none of the above as noted in the hourglass example.

“I got the feeling from both Lamphere and Dealy that the merchandise network would run a lot better on a transload or distribution center model. After the cars have been dealt with, the area manager puts them all together on one interchange track for the Class I to pick up—a lot like the short line model. So if the PSR model works best on point-to-point schedule trains, why don’t the Class I’s exit all distribution

services and turn the non-core branch lines over to local operators who can build the outbounds by distant node?

“The conversation didn’t touch on paper barriers. Customers would be best-served with open access to any Class I interchang-

ing with the given short line. With PSR and trip planning in place on the core Class I’s, customers should be able to choose the routing that best fits their supply chain needs. And if some of the short line business

is jump ball, so be it.

“Lamphere emphasized the need to go see customers, and said that Harrison was one of the best railroad salesman he ever saw. He knew the railroad well enough that he could easily determine whether he had a product that would meet customers’ supply chain needs, and if he did then he’d sell it.

Lamphere was livid that Class I managers drive off carload business that doesn’t meet some system pricing parameters.

“If Lamphere and Dealy both say railroads run best on a PSR model and that model is best-suited to point-to-point trains, let the local service offerings be turned over to providers who can call on customers, determine the transportation needs and create a product that fits the connecting Class I’s PSR model. This is exactly what the short lines do best: Call on the customers and advise them on using the railroad to meet supply chain objectives. Since Class I sales forces have essentially disappeared, short lines can readily restore that personal touch.”

TECH FOCUS — M/W

ROLL SAFE, ROLL SILENT Friction management improves safety, serves as a cost reduction driver, reduces noise pollution and extends rail life. urving physics involving the wheel/rail interface are basic: When a train passes through a curve, it generates forces that want to push the rails out of gauge. The magnitude of the force is directly related to axle loads.

This is more of an issue with heavily loaded railcars, says John Cotter, General Manager for Friction Management, North America, L.B. Foster. “That vertical force is translated into the lateral forces and pushes out the rail. It’s very comparative to the friction level. So if you can change the friction level, you can change the forces acting on the rail to prevent rail spreading.”

“I look at friction management as a three- or four-legged stool,” says Bruce Wise, Director of Business Development, Loram Maintenance of Way, Inc. – Friction Management. “You have the equipment, you have the consumables and you have the maintenance or service component. And in 12 Railway Age // July 2020

Loram’s case, we actually have the fourth leg of the stool with rail grinding. Friction management and rail grinding tend to go hand-in-hand. Optimizing both allows you to extend rail life and so forth, and gain fuel savings. So a three-legged stool is stable, but a four-legged stool is that much more stable.

But if you lose one of the legs of that stool, the stool falls over.”

L.B. FOSTER Friction management in the past 20 years has evolved into an acceptable global best practice, says Cotter. Indeed, many companies—freight and transit—do have some form of friction management program, he says.

A typical call for friction management is high rail wear, such as when a railroad notices it is replacing a specific curve more frequently. The railroad is either going to implement a friction management program or question if its existing system or program

is not working adequately.

“When managing friction at the wheel/ rail interface, we want to drop the friction down to as low a level as possible between the wheel flange and the gauge face, in order to prevent wear,” Cotter says. “In that particular case, we’re trying to reduce it through traditional greases and lubricants down to as low as possible and maintain it in order to provide as low a friction level as possible.

“On the rail head, we can’t do the same because that surface is also where we require adhesion and braking to occur. So if we drop the friction level too low, on locomotives we’ll tend to see things like wheel slip.

On transit systems, where braking is very important, we tend to see wheel lock-up and slides, which tend to lead to burns and skid marks on the rail.

“So on the rail heads, we want to introduce material backdrops of friction levels from a dry level (about 0.6 friction level) down to about nominally 0.3 or 0.4. So railwayage.com

TECH FOCUS — M/W we’re trying to introduce materials into that interface, but bringing it down to what we call the intermediate range, to get the benefit of reduced friction.”

Traction enhancers, as the name implies, are the exact opposite. They’re designed to bring friction up from a low level to an intermediate level, according to Cotter. He says traction enhancers are typically used in specific situations, such as in the fall when leaves collect on the rails.

“When leaves decompose, they create very powerful lubricants, organic materials, that when intermingled with materials on top of the rail, they create a very low friction level,” he notes. “So you’re trying to overcome that existing material on the rail head to bring that pressure level up in order to ensure that you have adequate braking and adhesion.”

LORAM Wise concurs with Cotter about the practice’s evolution. And he adds that gauge face lubrication “has been around virtually since

railroads first began operating.” Initially, it was done manually—literally with a pail and a brush. Workers would go out and apply grease, mainly to curves.

“So then, as the art evolved, automated systems for applying curve lubricant began,” he says. “There were mechanical lubricators that, as the train ran over them, activated either a ramp lever or a hydraulictype plunger to pump grease out onto the track.

“Up until the mid-’90s, the only friction management applied was gauge-face grease or curve lubricant. Only in the past 20 years has top-of-rail (TOR) friction modification became another strategy. As we started to learn the wheel/rail interaction better, we started to see that there was some benefit from controlling the friction on the top of the rail as well. That’s when TOR friction modifiers first became available. Typically, those have always been applied with electronic lubricators, where there’s no contact between the wheel and the activation device.”

TOR friction modifiers typically are

applied in smaller doses and much more precisely than curve lubricants, Wise says.

That’s why an electronic lubricator that allows fine-tuning the output rate is needed.

“Back in the early days with the mechanical-type systems, every wheel pass pumped grease,” Wise notes. “So trying to adjust them was much more difficult because you were literally going to get some output with every wheel pass. We can set the electronic units that are around today and have them apply only as needed. Wheel skips built into the control systems allow you to only pump, for example, every six wheels, every eight wheels, etc., depending on how much you need to coat the specific area. The application art has come a long way.”

RBL Bob Pieper, President, RBL, Inc./Robolube, has “sold Robolube Hyrail Lubricators to every Class I railroad.” He notes that Class I’s are the biggest users of Hyrail Lubricators, and “some of the lubricators have been designed specifically to accommodate

However, Pieper says that high-density lines cannot effectively be lubricated with a Hyrail unit. So he and RBL are taking the evolution a step further. RBL is in the process of finishing its new Robolube R2K Gauge Face Wayside Lubricator, with the first units in production now, in an effort to “give the industry a new technology that will provide them a better alternative and quickly realized cost savings at several levels. We’ve received excellent feedback on the idea: no-train-contact, using 75% less grease, virtually zero waste, cold weather operation and no requirement for hazardous mats to catch wasted grease. Now it’s just a matter of getting it out there to prove its benefits and letting it do its job.”

MPL MPL Technologies says it was “the first to bring solid polymer lubricants to the rail industry for flange lubrication and has

railwayage.com

continued to innovate with the development of its NatureBlend formulation. The benefits associated with flange lubrication include the following: saves fuel by reducing wheel/rail friction; significantly reduces flange wear; reduces frequency of wheel truing; increases wheel life; increases rail life; and reduces reliance on trackside lubricators.”

The NatureBlend formulation was developed in an effort “to provide a more environmentally friendly form of polymer lubricants. The formulation uses renewable and biodegradable polymers and oils to provide the rail industry with an alternative to traditional hydrocarbon-based lubricants.” MPL says it’s available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to fit most flange lubrication applicators.

“The formulation was developed in conjunction with Kansas State University and has been tested at a wide range of test facilities including the National Research Council of Canada and the Transportation Technology Center,” MPL notes. “Test results prove the formulation’s ability to

effectively transfer onto steel surfaces and provide friction reduction for a prolonged period of time. Testing at TTCI documented the formulation’s ability to reduce energy required through friction reduction.

This was measured through both electrical and mechanical force reduction.”

METHODS When it comes to each railroad’s methods for conducting friction management/lubrication testing, no two are alike. Many variables are in play. Testing frequency depends on traffic density, MGT, degree of curvature and superelevation. The customer has to consistently monitor the location.

The growth area is remote equipment monitoring. Not long ago, the only way to know if a lubricator was working was to physically inspect it. Now there are systems that remotely monitor the equipment, where an inspector could sit at computer and look and see which lubricators are working. Many wayside systems are solarpowered, equipped with sensors that monitor the voltage.

COMING OUT OF THE

PANDEMIC A corollary for restoring passenger confidence.

BART

W

ith the challenges facing public transit agencies due to the COVID-19 crisis, Argo Transportation Senior Vice President James Mourafetis looked to historical corollaries to inform the path ahead.

He reached out to a veteran transit CEO who was faced with a crisis of rider confidence under different circumstances. Tim railwayage.com

BY TIM O’TOOLE O’Toole, who has held a number of major executive positions in transportation, along with Cindy Yendell, a strategic communications consultant who supported London Underground’s response to the 7/7 London bombings, tell their story of how the tragic events 15 years ago this month relate to the challenges that transit agencies face today.

What is the future of public transit in the shadow of COVID-19? How can systems, such as New York City Transit or

London Underground, that pre-pandemic transported millions of passengers per day, often at loadings approaching four passengers per square yard, accommodate six feet of social distancing? Will strategic plans have to pivot from restoring a state of good repair while investing for expansion to a grim reduction in service and capacity?

It is a time for change in mass transit, but the change will not involve a reduced role.

Cities such as New York or London cannot July 2020 // Railway Age 17

COVID-19 RECOVERY function without moving millions every day on mass transit systems. Road space is simply inadequate to handle the demands of rush hour commuting. Therefore, any expectation for a reduced role of mass transit is actually a bet against the future of big cities, and that is a loser’s wager.

The economies of scale and agglomeration benefits cities offer mean their continued growth beyond the short term is inevitable.

Returning from the moribund state of operations under the COVID-19 lockdown to delivering mass transit services will involve substantial change, however. The pandemic has surely acted as an accelerant for telecommuting and home shopping.

Those trends will ratchet back demand for services on the margin, but the overall trend of growth will inevitably return.

That demand means that such systems will have to provide the capacity and throughput for which they were designed.

Social distancing on a subway system is not tenable beyond the short term because it is unenforceable and uneconomic.

Many may suppose otherwise, and transit management teams must lead the discussion of such public policy issues in order to find a sensible path back to “normal operations” and to re-establish advocacy for public transport. The current pandemic is as much an economic calamity as it is a health emergency, and the competing demands for public funds will be beyond anything such managements have faced.

While these factors make this situation unlike any faced in the past, some guidance can be found in looking back.

THE CHALLENGE FACED IN LONDON On July 7, 2005, terrorists detonated bombs on the London Underground, killing 52 people and seriously injuring 700 more in the largest attack in Great Britain since World War II. The populace was shaken, and the transit system had to restore operations and confidence in public transport safety. The former was a straightforward engineering challenge, complex in its details, but fully addressable by existing expertise. The latter was the much more difficult challenge, because something like restoring public confidence is an emergent problem, the elements of which keep changing.

18 Railway Age // July 2020

Immediately following the attack, the public as a whole made decisions based on fear that over time would be made instead on an assessment of risk. That progression is typical of traumatic incidents.

Employees were also fearful but more immediately interested in understanding the details of the risks they faced and the tradeoffs for reducing them. In response, management had to resist turning inward, taking comfort in command-and-control, and instead expand communication with employees and the public. It is the substance of those efforts that may usefully stimulate ideas in the current circumstance.

The terrorist attack produced awful tragedy, but it also provided an opportunity for management and all employees to reset relationships and agendas going forward. The performance by the employ-

What do your internal and external stakeholders think of your response to the crisis so far? ees immediately following the attack was exemplary. Scores of employees rushed into the tunnels to aid the injured long before it was possible for emergency services to be on the scene. Other staff were able to safely shut down the network, moving 250,000 passengers off trains within an hour without a single further injury, all the while redirecting tens of thousands more who were unaware of events and trying to access the system.

The opportunity to reflect on the professionalism and importance of every employee’s role became a powerful tonic. It was strong enough to overcome the cynicism and indifference that greet so many communication and change initiatives.

The employees were proud of themselves, and deservedly so, and an appeal was made to consider the changes that would allow

them to feel that pride every day.

The first step was to create a companywide listening exercise that prompted every employee to express their views frankly. Large, interactive meetings involving management and every employee using high-production tools were used to capture everyone’s attention. The purpose was to understand what was holding the company back from a true customer service culture; what management support was needed from the wider workforce; how was management actually perceived; and what changes would be required to create a productive and trusting relationship. The detail and specifics that were uncovered allowed management to reset priorities.

The agency then initiated a threeyear communications plan around a new customer promise, “Valuing Time.”

Employee discussions effectively drafted the details of the new program, creating ownership at the local level and translating the application of general principles to local requirements. The results exceeded expectations: Employee engagement rose dramatically. Customer satisfaction scores achieved all-time high marks. System performance improved as well, with average wait time on platforms reducing by 35%.

The new era of communication on London Underground had to be supported by actions, as well. A new transparency and two-way discussion of operating decisions was initiated. It led to dramatic changes.

For example, management agreed to compromise service until the new TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) system was installed to reassure employees that every effort was being taken to speed response in the event of any emergency.

Passengers and other stakeholders were provided similarly comprehensive demonstrations of safety. As noted above, fear guides decision-making following such calamities, but risk assessment takes over eventually, a change that is largely driven by necessity. Commuters returned in numbers first, followed by shoppers and then visitors. The speed with which that transition takes place is significantly driven by the perception of control over the transit system’s environment. For example, the timeline for that transition in London was turned back when a second railwayage.com

COVID-19 RECOVERY attack was attempted two weeks after July 7. The attacks failed when the bombs only partially detonated, but fear re-emerged in the forefront of public perception. Comparable setbacks can be expected with the current emergency.

The London Underground employed many, varied signs of control to change the public’s perception. The first and most obvious tactics were police presence on stations and trains and bomb-sniffing dogs at key stations. To some extent, there was an element of theater to these tactics, given the limited deterrence, for example, of bomb-sniffing dogs in a mass transit environment. Nonetheless, their visibility contributed to projecting a perception of control. Other elements were just as persuasive if less obvious. Frequency of announcements was increased. Although constant announcements can be an annoyance to some, research showed that perceptions of security increased with more announcements. The graffiti removal program was increased from the trains and stations to include every wall or structure on the system, including the right-of-way.

The underlying message was control, and the public equated control with safety.

Around the time of the terrorist attack in London, London Underground was undergoing a massive reinvestment program on a scale equal to what NYCT hopes to undertake presently. The disruption associated with such work can exacerbate perceptions of disarray and discomfort, and even outright safety concerns. To stem that risk, comprehensive and transparent communications were put in place, including explanations of the work, timelines, deadlines for completion and travel advice, all which projected control of an environment even when it was under the most stress. Key to that effort was ensuring all employees on site were fully versed in the work and able to handle any customer’s questions. There is no communication more harmful or more powerful than a frontline employee who pleads ignorance to a customer’s question.

These and many other changes were made to address the specific issues that dominated the public discussion following the terrorist bombings. The current pandemic poses other, even more complex and draining issues for transit railwayage.com

management, and the first step in responding is to accurately identify them. Every agency needs to understand the sentiments of its key stakeholders and what it needs to say and do to enlist their support. At a minimum, each agency must be able to answer the following: 1. What do your internal and external stakeholders think of your response to the crisis so far?

2. What do you think has been working and not working?

3. What will be needed to ensure stakeholder support over the months ahead?

4. How effective, clear and timely have your agency’s communications been so far?

5. What are your stakeholders’ needs,

How effective, clear and timely have your agency’s communications been so far? concerns, expectations now? How have they changed since lockdown?

6. How have their priorities changed, and what does that mean for the agency’s priorities?

7. How do those priorities match what the agency management is currently thinking, saying and doing?

myriad challenges ahead, many stakeholders—internal and external—are likely to be cynical or distracted. Hence, every agency should question the effectiveness of its communications. Uncertainty generates anxiety throughout the workforce and among riders, politicians and other stakeholders. Silence will be interpreted as bad news or indicative of weak and ineffective management. Therefore, developing a “communication campaign plan” to help your agency reframe and reset the agenda will be key to re-establishing the agency’s rightful and necessary role in serving the needs of the city.

Tim O’Toole has held a number of major executive positions in transportation, including CEO of FirstGroup plc, Managing Director of London Underground and President and CEO of Conrail. Tim served on the Board of Directors for CSX Corp. for ten years and currently serves on the Boards of Edison International/Southern California Edison and the National Safety Council.

Cindy Yendell is a Founding Partner at Leonardo Advisory, a London-based international strategic communications and culture change advisory practice. It brings consulting and in-house experience from within the transport sector including helping TfL meet some of the biggest internal and external challenges of the past 15 years.

Cindy and team supported Tim during and after the 7/7 London attacks with strategic communications advisory services.

Argo, an implementation consulting firm, is the “go-to” firm in North America for transportation CEOs, with core competencies that include business rationalization, asset optimization, performance strategy management and operations improvement.

The answers to these questions should inform decision-making and all stakeholder communications as your agency moves through and out of the current crisis. Stakeholder communication needs are likely to change rapidly and significantly in the coming weeks and months.

Regular, clear communications driven by a strong, consistent narrative will be more critical than ever, as well as presenting a unified leadership team. Given the July 2020 // Railway Age 19

PSR 2.0

PSR

THE NEXT GENERATION

P

recision Scheduled Railroading (PSR), as we know it today, is rapidly reaching an inflection point. Escalating trade disruptions, rail strikes, blockades, weather events and the COVID19 pandemic have highlighted the urgency to make supply chains more resilient.

Weaknesses in international supply chains have been exposed, and escalating domestic transportation turmoil demonstrates the need for end-to-end approaches, standards, solutions, and greater service level accountability and safety. PSR has been applied to some Class I’s and has yet to be applied widely to Class II, Class III, tenant 20 Railway Age // July 2020

and passenger railroads in North America.

This gap represents 40% of North American route-miles.

The current version of PSR, which we refer to as “1.0,” has produced measurable financial, operational and service improvements.

Yet, some internal growing pains continue, accompanied by shock waves absorbed by shippers, non-PSR railroads, industry partners, advocates and policymakers.

This three-part Railway Age series introduces PSR 2.0, which will take PSR to the next level, within individual railroads and across railroad and transportation “ecosystems.” It demands an entrepreneurial culture, and is geared toward increasing

relevancy in a world rife with existential economic threats, increased competition and urgency to embrace the tail end of the digital age while preparing the foundation of the new era of breakthrough innovation.

In Part 1 (RA, June 2020, p. 32), we presented the case for mainstream adoption of PSR 2.0. It is a reliable, scalable, and highgain approach for delivering sustainable financial results safely and securely, while building reputational equity. PSR 2.0 calls for people and the organization to make changes in how they think and operate. It differs from 1.0 by embracing entrepreneurship and partnerships across an integrated transportation ecosystem. It provides for a railwayage.com

Part 2: Implementing and Scaling PSR 2.0 for 20% to 80% Process Waste Reduction BY SONIA D. BOT & JOHN F. ORR

PSR 2.0 shared platform (voice at the table) for the parties, ensuring integrity for delivering service propositions; where shock absorbing assets and disproportionate cost are replaced by aligned service, balanced asset costs and smoothed operational flows. PSR 2.0 allows for responsiveness and resiliency to competitor moves.

In Part 2 we discuss key considerations that accelerate the realization of business and customer value, with lowered PSR 2.0 implementation cost and effort. We do this by embracing the ecosystem view of the transportation supply chain where benefits are realized for all the participants. We have provided a toolkit for leaders to succeed in the marketplace, by enabling them to invest to responsively support the needs of customers. We recommend certain cultural and capability considerations, provide tools for assessment of current state, and supply recommendations for implementing and scaling PSR implementation. With a focus on effectiveness, organizational process waste is reduced by 20% to 80%.

With process and technology advancements, companies either have a culture that can embrace change and pivot, or reject the change and fail. A change culture is enabled through an understanding of their capabilities. Railways must embrace external industry forces such as the Digital Business Transformation and combine them with organizational and capability maturity models. An Entrepreneurial Time-to-Market approach supports PSR implementation to leverage the potential of opportunity within the nonlinear and growing complexity of the railway industry and ecosystem partnerships.

Digital Business Transformation (p. 22) revolutionizes business and organizational activities, processes, competencies and models while leveraging the impacts that digital technologies bring. The current Digital Business Transformation wave is a catalyst for PSR 2.0 implementation. It raises the bar for PSR above process and technology implementation. It requires digital technology consolidation with robust business processes and productive partnerships, and navigating non-linear ecosystems and disruptive business models. It requires a framework, where elements must be top-down-driven so that the organizations, processes, digital initiatives and platforms align with business needs. railwayage.com

CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS For PSR 2.0, cultural considerations around safety and leadership are required for a successful transformation.

It is important to understand the level of cultural maturity within an organization before introducing changes. Where an organization starts is as important as to how an organization nurtures and develops its culture. The pace of effectively moving through the stages of cultural development is strongly dependent on the leadership team’s expertise.

Cultural development stages are not confined to internal “walls.” In PSR 2.0, cultural development at partnering enterprises (other railroads, industry partners, public, or enterprise advocacy/policy partners) must also be addressed.

and growing the enterprise.

The organizational and ecosystem pain points experienced by PSR 1.0 early adopters (for example, where some claim that operational safety and workplace quality have decreased), indicate that those organizations may need to spend more time investing in their cultural elements. Based on cultural maturity, the development of a safety culture would come through a series of leadership and change management initiatives that may require organizational design and engineering as cultural gaps in an organization may require the infusion of people who have the cultural aptitude that were previously missing, as developing those aptitudes may require more time than what is available to achieve the transformation.

SAFETY CULTURE Safety is a fundamental value cultural pillar that drives all business decisions on a railway. Improved safety, security, and operational effectiveness work hand in glove. Together they lead to reliability and growth, which fully aligns with the PSR philosophy. Why do some stakeholders assert that safety is compromised with PSR? The answer depends on their stage of organizational maturity, one dimension of which is cultural maturity.

We recommend the DuPont Bradley Curve (p. 23) to benchmark culture and performance in relationship to safety. It classifies four stages: • Reactive: Individuals don’t take responsibility and believe accidents will happen; safety is delegated to a lone safety manager.

• Dependent: Individuals view safety as following rules and procedures; accident rates start to decrease.

• Independent: Individuals take responsibility and believe they can make a difference with actions; accidents reduce further.

• Interdependent: The shift moves from individuals to teams that own the safety culture; “zero accidents” is an achievable goal.

As the culture matures through the progression from the reactive stage through to the interdependent stage, operational effectiveness improves, so that it gives more room for profitability while safely operating

TRANSFORMATIONAL, DISCIPLINED LEADERSHIP CULTURE The operational capabilities required to run a railroad are not necessarily the same capabilities for implementing PSR 2.0, or any other transformation. In a current state analysis, you must take stock of what types of leaders you have. Leadership teams can underestimate the complexity and capabilities required for transformational programs such as PSR. They believe they can do this on their own, with existing talent. The staff may be world-class performers in their operational day-to-day work or may deliver well on more linear, less complex mandates; however, they may not be equipped with the skills, capabilities, tools, methodologies and experience to handle a complex transformation mandate.

All rail transportation ecosystem players exhibit some diversity, agility and historic roles. The evolving landscape mandates the need for change, and embracing a broader, more receptive view. The pace of effectively moving through PSR 2.0 deployment stages is strongly dependent on both the leadership team’s expertise within each railroad and across the ecosystem.

Effective operating companies use organizational, regulatory and standards structures to evolve how they manage and conduct their business. Structure is especially important for implementing and delivering PSR 2.0 within a railroad and across the ecosystem. Disciplined leadership July 2020 // Railway Age 21

PSR 2.0

with deep experience is key.

The approach to lower risk and least cost is to invest in high-performing “transformation leaders,” outsourced and/or developed within, who can combine deep, practical field experience with theory. They must have a successful PSR 1.0 implementation track record, an understanding of technology, business savvy and experience in complex transformations. They must be highly adept in navigating and bridging various colliding worlds, such as real life in the field and office IT/OT projects.

Throughout their mandate, they would promote and instill an entrepreneurial mindset and capabilities into their organization. Such disciplined leadership with deep experience builds reputational equity, strengthens safety and security, and drives growth, within railroads and across the railroad ecosystem.

CAPABILITY CONSIDERATIONS For PSR 2.0, capability considerations around implementation approaches and managing large scale change are required for a successful transformation.

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) contains appraisal tools and best practices to help organizations 22 Railway Age // July 2020

measure, build and improve their capabilities and improve performance. It focuses on what needs to be done to improve performance and align operations to business goals. It is used worldwide across a range of business capabilities such as Information Technology, Operational Technology, product development, service excellence, workforce management, data management, supplier management, cybersecurity, process improvement, software and hardware development. CMMI is new to the North American railroad industry.

CMMI has five Levels (see http://processgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ C M M I V2 _ Ma t u r it y_ L e ve l s-f u l l .j pg ) , ranging from Level 0 (incomplete) to Level 5 (optimized). Few organizations require Level 5. The baseline resets with each new wave.

• Level 0 (Incomplete): Processes are ad hoc. Work may be incomplete.

For example, there is no champion to support the change initiative required to deliver PSR. Work is done instinctively and reactively.

• Level 1 (Initial): Processes are unpredictable, poorly controlled, reactive, ad hoc and chaotic. The organization does not provide a stable environment and

success depends on the competence and heroics of people. Products and services that work frequently exceed budgets and schedules, and may not deliver to the committed scope of requirements and quality.

• Level 2 (Managed): Processes are characterized and planned, ensuring requirements are managed. However, execution can often be reactive. For example, a champion is in place though not engaged.

• Level 3 (Defined): Processes are well-characterized and understood, described in standards, procedures, tools and methods. They are performed across an organization and multiple projects, and managed more proactively.

• Level 4 (Quantitative): Processes are quantitatively predictable and stable.

Selected subprocesses are controlled using statistical and other quantitative techniques.

• Level 5 (Optimizing): Processes are continually improved based on quantitative understanding of variation of common causes, and address variation and performance optimization.

The current wave of Digital Business Transformation and the need to adopt railwayage.com

PSR 2.0

new technology at an unprecedented pace make operating at the lower end of capability maturity unforgiving. A reasonable target for North American railroads would be Level 3; for some aspects of Positive Train Control (PTC), Level 4 is required.

These levels allow sustained performance and better alignment with other industry partners. Level 4 and Level 5 feasibility in the foreseeable future requires significant investment, supported by a detailed business case showing forecasted ROI (return on investment). The baseline also resets with each new wave of Digital Business Transformation.

“Capability traps,” where people unwittingly erode system capability by taking shortcuts and making faulty attributions on what they think needs fixing, are important to avoid. Teams may not be aware of how deeply they are embedded in the capability trap. Cultural attributes such as collective creativity, learning and knowledge are focused on maneuvering and surviving within a vicious cycle. This is where capability and culture intersect. Building capability is inextricably linked with cultural maturity. Effective methods, such as Lean Six Sigma, can be applied to develop capability maturity to overcome capability traps. railwayage.com

This requires fully committed, aligned and consistent leadership.

ENTREPRENEURIAL, TIME-TO-MARKET APPROACH Railroading involves complex mission- and safety-critical processes. PSR mandates a higher level of capability for implementation and delivery, such as analytics, skills, lean and repeatable processes, continuous monitoring and improvement, and handling the ripple effects of change.

Shareholder expectations were high for PSR early adopters, so executives had to show progress quickly. Implementation focused on rapidly achieving PSR-attributable gains. The underlying cultural and capability maturity levels were often not considered, so the support base for the sustainment and evolution of the results were not sufficiently established.

Early adopters faced internal and external resistance while late adopters placed heavy emphasis on marketing PSR as a “bottomline” measure to justify cost-cutting.

Irrespective of adoption timelines, most railroads resorted to a monolithic implementation, also known as a “Big Bang.”

Through trial and error, more effective approaches emerged. Proof points were

demonstrated in subsequent phases of PSR and PTC implementation. With the current wave of Digital Business Transformation, technological developments, and escalated competitive, economic and regulatory pressures, the “Big Bang” approach becomes increasingly risky, because success or failure are binary outcomes, that are evaluated at the end of a long and expensive implementation cycle. This is why an Entrepreneurial Time-to-Market approach is required.

Entrepreneurial Time-to-Market: • Allocates capital and effort in stages.

• Designs in an adaptive, systematic way, while applying governance that keeps end-to-end system in mind when making decisions.

• Calculates and manages risk tightly, incrementally delivering value, earlier, to avoid binary outcomes.

• Starts small with an isolated region and supporting technologies/systems, incrementally replicating and adapting for scale and scope.

• Correlates root causes and effects through the analysis of facts and data.

• Improves performance on a “do only good/do no harm” basis.

Entrepreneurial Time-to-Market fosters July 2020 // Railway Age 23

PSR 2.0 capabilities in organizational agility and business precision. At the macro level, Entrepreneurial Time-to-Market enables an environment where state-of-the-art organizational change, process and technology management practices can be used effectively. Entrepreneurial Timeto-Market uses multidisciplinary process definition and monitoring through measurement to systematically architect, design, manage and control outcomes through correlation to the variables in the ecosystem. The inclusive process preserves the end-to-end value stream through the analysis of value-enhancing lifecycle elements. The method is outcomes focused, therefore the voice of all customers and employees are pervasive.

At the micro level, Entrepreneurial Time-to-Market builds capabilities to sustain performance and safety through integrated Process Management Control Systems. Safety capability evolves from a reactive instinctual state to being engineered upfront in the definition phase of Systems Engineering. People actively engage in safety as respected and accountable contributors when the capability is mature.

Entrepreneurial Time-to-Market allows for better absorption of changes as they percolate through an organization and the wider ecosystem. It makes PSR more accessible to implement, manage and scale.

MANAGING LARGE-SCALE CHANGE A groundbreaking General Electric study found that 100% of all change efforts evaluated as “successful” had a good “technical” solution, yet more than 98% evaluated as “unsuccessful” also had a good “technical” solution. What is the differentiating factor between a successful and a failed initiative?

The study found that the effectiveness (“E”) of the change effort (results) is equal to the quality (“Q”) of the solution (tools, processes, technology) multiplied by the acceptance (“A”) by people across the company: E = Q x A. Various frameworks and methodologies exist for managing organizational change of various scales and proportions. The Change Acceleration Process model is simple enough to be used by everyone in an organization. It states that 24 Railway Age // July 2020

adoption and permanency of change is predicated on the following elements of culture and capability: • Culture: Committed and authentic leadership.

• Culture: A shared need and urgency, where the need for change outweighs resistance.

• Culture: Articulating a clear and legitimate vision of the future, once the change initiative has been completed.

• Culture + Capability: Committing to roll out change, starting with early adopters to influence and build momentum.

• Capability: Leveraging early wins, transferring knowledge gained into best practices and broader rollouts.

• Capability: Monitoring and measuring progress and holding accountability for achieving benchmarks.

• Capability: Systematically change systems and structures (staffing, IT/ OT, training, organizational design, resource allocation, processes and workflows, etc.) to support the desired future state, understanding how these systems influence the behavior you are trying to change.

Change management must be applied systematically and led by experienced practitioners with solid track records of compelling a culture to embrace change, while orchestrating the requisite capabilities to render and operate the railroad in its end state. The effectiveness of change efforts depends on the quality of the solutions and the acceptance by people.

20% TO 80% PROCESS WASTE REDUCTION These key considerations are intrinsic to starting, rendering and delivering PSR. They are multidisciplinary in nature. PSR 2.0 compels all inter and intra ecosystem entities to work together. When the cultural and capability factors are used by railroads in the Digital Business Transformation journey, process waste is reduced by 20% to 80%, in our experience, which includes statistically correlated data of our results. The level of improvement depends on cultural and capability maturity at the beginning of the transformation.

Sustained gains in operational efficiencies, financial savings, faster and more

predictable delivery, defect reduction, quality improvement, opportunity cost avoidance, and improved employee and customer experience are dependent on a change that has a strong foundation in core culture and capability development.

In the transformed railroad, investment and creative energy is freed up for addressing new types of services and ways of doing business, which then forms a basis for envisioning, planning and building revenue growth initiatives.

Topics such as how railroads develop their respective capacities, standardize handoffs between partners, or leverage supporting platforms are conversations for another day!

raft systems are important contributors to train performance because, among effects, these systems limit the relative motion between coupled vehicles in a train and absorb energy during impact events.

An end-of-car cushioning (EOCC) unit is a type of long-travel draft system that uses hydraulic cylinders in place of standard friction draft gears to absorb energy and

improve yard impact performance. EOCC units absorb energy when coupler forces are applied by forcing oil from a high-pressure inner cylinder to a low-pressure outer casing through various preloaded orifices over a long displacement stroke, which is typically 10 or 15 inches.

Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) is conducting research under the Association of American Railroads (AAR) Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI)

program to characterize, evaluate and improve performance of long travel draft systems. Initial efforts in this research focused on the development and validation of models to simulate impacts of cars equipped with 10-inch and 15-inch EOCC units using NUCARSŽ, (a TTCI registered trademark), TTCI’s multibody vehicletrack interaction software. Results from the 10-inch and 15-inch EOCC impact simulations correlated well with measured railwayage.com

TTCI R&D data for buff and draft impacts. Characteristics from the impact models were then used to simulate and analyze the coupler forces in trains with cars containing EOCC units. Train dynamics simulations were conducted using TTCI’s Train Operation and Energy Simulator (TOES) program to evaluate the in-train performance and slack control of 10-inch and 15-inch EOCC units in OTR (over-the-road) type environments.

The NUCARS® impact simulations were used to establish the baseline performance of EOCC units during impacts in a yardtype environment, and the TOES simulations were used to establish the baseline coupler forces of trains containing EOCC as they negotiated different challenging revenue service routes. The baseline results from these simulations were then used for comparisons to evaluate different draft systems and EOCC unit variations.

Approximately 15% of railcars in the North American fleet are equipped with EOCC units, including autoracks, flat cars and boxcars. EOCC units provide

TTCI R&D in-train forces and slack action during normal OTR operations, due in part to a shorter displacement stroke. Increases in impact protection tend to decrease slack control and increases in slack control tend to decrease impact protection, which is a key tradeoff in draft system design. Ideally, a long-travel draft system would provide adequate impact control and also limit train slack action.

Additional simulations evaluated the differences in impact performance and in-train forces, relative to the baseline results when EOCC parameters were varied (see results comparison) and when other draft systems were modeled, including EOCC units with active draft, standard friction draft gears and asymmetric friction draft gears. As the modeling phase of this research project draws to a close, TTCI will begin testing of different draft systems in the summer of 2020 as part of the AAR SRI program. Testing will include car-to-car impact tests to evaluate the impact protection, and train action tests

Modeling results from the parameter variation study showed that lower preload values decreased maximum forces during the impact simulations, but increased maximum forces during the over-the-road simulations (p. 27), illustrating the tradeoff between impact performance and slack control.

Financial Edge Recovery, Growth, Car Supply Confront Rail

O

n the June 17 Railway Age Rail Insights webcast (held in lieu of the usual conference in Chicago), the path forward for rail and the post-pandemic future of rail loadings was on the mind of presenters and the audience. The rail industry is searching for the bottom and looking for “green shoots” that suggest the market has “bottomed,” and that loadings might start to return to normal levels.

Reading around the industry analysis, there is significant hope for a quick return.

Prevalent questions remain: When will the industry recover, what are growth prospects for the future and what will car supply look like post-pandemic.

Discussions on the current state of affairs and the future of rail freight are what made Rail Insights so important right now.

RECOVERY The CEO of Genesee & Wyoming, Jack Hellmann, provided a “boots on the ground” approach discussing the near term. It is an important perspective for the industry. On loadings, Hellmann noted the following: “Some railroads are up and some railroads are down ... If you’re moving a lot of frac sand, you’re probably moving a lot less of it today. If you’re moving pulp (G&W moves pulp, which is up 8%, on the Chattahoochee Industrial Railroad for use in paper towels, facial tissues and toilet paper) and paper linerboard (up 5%) for e-commerce, in general you’re probably moving a lot more.”

Weekly Class I loadings dipped as low as 30% less from the previous year (around week 20) while they are now hovering around 13%-14% total decrease YOY through week 25 of the year.

Hellmann noted that G&W is working to manage what it can while trying to be prepared for anything. However, he feels a gradual “U”-shaped recovery is more likely than a “V”-shaped recovery. The everpresent wildcard: the potential impact of a second COVID-19 wave.

GROWTH Pat Ottensmeyer, President and CEO of Kansas City Southern, closed out Rail

32 Railway Age // July 2020

Insights with a continental perspective.

Ottensmeyer discussed USMCA (U.S.Mexico-Canada Agreement, in which he has played a key advisory role) and the potential for rail loadings growth that can be generated as a result of finalizing the terms of the new trade agreement.

On KCS, Ottensmeyer is seeing “sequential carload growth for the past several weeks [that] has been much more rapid and [includes] our train start and crew start growth.” He noted that KCS has maintained efficiency gains and cost savings obtained through this larger downturn. Leading into Rail Insights, KCS was seeing positive trends in automotive loadings.

When asked about post-pandemic loadings growth, Ottensmeyer noted that PSR and the pandemic allowed the rails to create capacity that he feels will allow for them (post-COVID-19) “to be more competitive, allow us to gain market share from other modes of transportation … this should be good for shippers as well as longer term.”

This excess capacity (effectively the result of decreases in loadings) should benefit the shipper community as the fixed capacity can be allocated to existing shippers and to additional growth opportunities.

CAR SUPPLY Car supply was not a direct topic at Rail Insights, but it is determined by the heavily discussed Recovery and Growth. Where is car supply headed? Like with railcar loadings, a long-term “U”-shaped recovery continues to suggest downward pressure and stress on the market, lease rates, new car deliveries, car pricing and total demand. One industry associate suggested that the rail industry at large would be better off not building a single additional new car in 2020 and 2021 (and maybe 2022) to account for the existent overhang in railcars in the market today. The logic?

With roughly one-third of the national fleet in storage, railcar supply is unlikely to increase demand anytime in the near future.

The industry has gone through cycles of large storage numbers before. The difference here is that the storage numbers in 2020 are across all market segments,

a long-term “U”shaped car supply recovery continues to suggest downward pressure and stress on the market and lease rates.” including large percentages of autoracks and intermodal well cars. This is on top of sand/cement covered hoppers, coal cars and energy-related tank railcars. With velocity up, there are large storage numbers for grain and plastics skewing toward the older aged assets in those services.

Ottensmeyer noted that the rails expect, even as loadings growth increases, to handle the same or increasing numbers of loads with fewer railcars. The wildcard is what percentage of loadings coming back to rail will require increases in equipment supply.

So far, this is a COVID-19 mystery.

Listen to a recording of the Rail Insights webcast at https://event.webcasts. c o m / s t a r t h e r e .j s p ? e i =132 4 62 6 & t p_ key=0c7295511b. It is worthwhile to hear from those executives on the front lines of the pandemic to understand our future.
