FROM THE EDITOR “Positional Metrics” and Class I Report Cards

R

eport cards are strange things that can generate varying responses. Depending upon the results, they’re something you’ll want to share with parents and classmates, or, if you can get away with it, hide for a while. I remember one from seventh grade. The young nun who taught English didn’t like me for some reason. She gave me a poor first marking period grade (imagine that!). She also verbally harassed me, and even smacked me in the back of the head when I wasn’t looking.

My dad—an English professor with a Ph.D. who thought I produced good work (he should know, right?)—had a “friendly” chat with her and the principal, an old battle-axe of a nun with the demeanor of a Marine drill sergeant. Sister (expletive deleted)’s “personality” suddenly improved, as did my English grades. I haven’t seen her in nearly 50 years, but if I ever do, I just might be tempted to return her “affection.”

Glad I got that off my chest. I feel much better now!

You may ask, what does my experience with a nasty nun have to do with the so-called service report cards (letters) the Class I railroads have been providing to the Surface Transportation Board at the request of Chairman Marty Oberman (who in my estimation is rather “professorial”)? Maybe nothing, but as you hopefully know by now, I sometimes like to keep readers guessing as to what’s going on in my pointy little head.

For one thing, these railroad report cards are self-graded. That’s perfectly fine—if you can back up your grades with what Contributing Editor Jim Blaze, whose

head is pointier than mine, calls “positional metrics.” I’ll let Jim explain: “I see the replies signaling two things.

First, the extent to which Class I CEOs and their organizations are quantitate-driven.

Second, whether there exists a processing difference within the STB itself as it reads the letters and responds to CEOs. Perhaps I’m not qualified to grade each railroad’s submission. And I’m not a substitute parent or a duly appointed regulator. But I am a qualified, street-wise rail freight economist.

My career has touched some of the best and some of the worst. I focus on finding the critical numbers and the momentum patterns, each at a strategic perspective.

“From my work experience, one letter stands out. It speaks to me in positional metrics. BNSF’s Katie Farmer cut to the chase, taking a full three pages for her June 9, 2021 explanation, but marking numerical momentum points.

“The Class I’s say that one railroad’s performance cannot be compared to the others with such data sets. But in the commercial world, that argument does not hold up, because they all compete. This is how the market sees them.

“How will this relatively new group of STB Commissioners set the tone of their oversight role? Will they be debating and legalistic in their interpretation of the report cards? Will their review be quantitative? Will it be like concerned parents offering help and life lessons?”

Actually, I believe we all can learn a few lessons from Katie Farmer. Pay attention!

Industry Indicators AAR: “U.S. RAIL VOLUMES WERE ENCOURAGING” “U.S. rail volumes in May 2021 were encouraging,” the Association of American Railroads reported last month. “Total originated carloads averaged 241,089 per week, the most since October 2019 and up 30.4% over May 2020. In May 2021, 18 of the 20 carload categories the AAR tracks had carload gains over May 2020, while 12 of the 20 had gains over May 2019. Meanwhile, intermodal averaged 287,956 originated containers and trailers per week. That’s down a bit from April—when the weekly average of 293,488 set a new all-time record—but it’s still the seventh most for any month in history and by far the most ever for May. Even better, January to May 2021 was the best January to May ever for U.S. intermodal.”

Industry Outlook

“That’s What it Means to Compromise” PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF U.S. SENATORS LAST MONTH AGREED ON A FIVE-YEAR, $973 BILLION INFRASTRUCTURE FRAMEWORK that includes $579 billion in new spending over that period, of which $312 billion is slated for transportation.

Of the new transportation spending, public transit would receive $49 billion; passenger and freight rail, $66 billion; ports and waterways, $16 billion; roads, bridges and major projects, $109 billion; and airports, $25 billion. The framework also includes $266 billion for other new infrastructure spending on water, broadband and power infrastructure, for instance.

Added to a baseline of $394 billion, the framework would total $973 billion over five years. If extended to eight years, the entire package would total $1.2 trillion—55% of what the White House originally proposed, and which most Congressional Republicans opposed.

The framework will “[i]mprove healthy, sustainable transportation options for millions of Americans by modernizing and expanding transit and rail networks across the country, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” according to a White House Fact Sheet released on June 24. “The Plan is the largest federal investment in public transit in history and is the largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak.”

Following his meeting with 10 of the 21 6 Railway Age // July 2021

Senators in the bipartisan group, Biden said he was pleased that the group had “come together and forged an agreement that will create millions of American jobs and modernize our American infrastructure to compete with the rest of the world. …”

He also noted that “[n]either side got everything they wanted in this deal, and that’s what it means to compromise.”

Biden added that the agreement’s investments “represent the kind of national effort that, throughout our history, has literally … transformed America and propelled us into the future. The transcontinental railroad, the Interstate Highway System—investments that we made together that only our government was in a position to make. Now we’re poised to add a new chapter in that American tradition.”

The bipartisan Senate group said in a joint statement: “Today [June 24], we’re proud to advance this bipartisan proposal to make a historic investment in America’s critical infrastructure needs, advance cleaner technologies, create jobs, and strengthen American competitiveness, without raising taxes. This agreement shows that the two parties can still come together, find common ground, and get things done that matter to everyday Americans. We are happy to have President Biden’s support, and will now get to work enlisting the support of colleagues on both sides of the aisle.”

The Senators include: Rob Portman

(R-Ohio), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Jerry Moran (R-Kans.), Angus King (I-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Ark.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Todd Young (R-Ind.).

What’s next for the infrastructure framework? The New York Times reported that “[a]lmost immediately after reaching the breakthrough, Mr. Biden and Democrats offered a giant caveat that could complicate its chances of passage. Both the President and top Democrats said the compromise, which constitutes only a small fraction of the expansive, $4 trillion economic agenda Mr. Biden has proposed, could advance only together with a far larger bill that would pour trillions more into health care, child care, higher education access and climate change programs. That measure, vehemently opposed by Republicans, would be paid for by remaking the tax code to capture the wealth of the superrich and multinational corporations that shift profits and jobs overseas. ‘If this is the only thing that comes to me, I’m not signing it,’ Mr. Biden said of the infrastructure piece.

‘It’s in tandem.’”

However, the Times reported that “on [June 26], as lawmakers and aides continued to stew and the prospects of a legislative victory seemed to fade, Mr. Biden conceded that he had misspoken. He ‘admitted that his comments on [June 24] ‘left the impression that I was issuing a veto threat on the very plan I had just agreed to. That was certainly not my intent.’

“Lawmakers and aides signaled they would move forward with writing text and securing support. “‘The bottom line is this,’ [Biden] said. ‘I gave my word to support the infrastructure plan, and that’s what I intend to do. I intend to pursue the passage of that plan, which Democrats and Republicans agreed to on Thursday, with vigor. It would be good for the economy, good for our country, good for our people. I fully stand behind it, without reservation or hesitation.’” railwayage.com

Market CSX Selects Wabtec for Power Upgrades CSX is teaming with Wabtec to modernize locomotives across its fleet, boosting their fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. CSX will be the first to demonstrate Wabtec’s Trip Optimizer Zero-to-Zero system, which allows railroads “to start a train from zero mph and stop the train automatically using various controls.”

Wabtec’s new Tier 4 switcher modernization program will upgrade 40- to 50-yearold locomotives and Tier 0 non-emissions switchers to the latest Wabtec Tier 4 platform. Finally, Wabtec’s FDL Advantage engine upgrade program will be deployed on locomotives across CSX’s fleet.

NORTH AMERICA

WABTEC’S battery-powered locomotives could be used on three continents after trials with the manufacturer’s FLXdrive 1.0 were successful. “Right now, we’re in negotiations with many different customers,” Wabtec Vice President Engineering Alan Hamilton told International Railway Journal. These talks include mining customers in South America and Australia.

Tests in California on BNSF involved coupling Wabtec’s FLXdrive 1.0 between two diesel locomotives during operation.

MIDYEAR REPORT

RECOVERING. REORGANIZING?

As freight traffic returns to pre-pandemic levels, the industry finds itself preoccupied with major merger activity.

he rail industry midway through 2021 is indeed “living in interesting times,” to paraphrase the often-cited “May you live in interesting times,” an English expression claimed to be a translation of a traditional “Chinese curse.”

While it sounds like a blessing, the expression is mostly used ironically, because life is supposed to be better in “uninteresting times” of peace and tranquility than in “interesting” ones that are usually times of trouble. Despite being known as a Chinese curse, the saying is apocryphal. No actual Chinese source has ever been produced. That’s kind of like preaching that one-person train crews are unsafe, despite that there is no evidence—scientific, statistical or otherwise—to support such a claim.

The most likely connection to the expression in Chinese culture, I’ve discovered, can be deduced from analysis of the late 19th-century speeches of British statesman Joseph Chamberlain (father of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain), as revised by his other son, Austen Chamberlain. Despite being widely attributed as a Chinese curse, there is no known equivalent expression in Chinese. The closest Chinese expression translates as “Better to be a dog in times of tranquility than a human in times of chaos.”

So, on top of the fact that, at this writing, much of the U.S. is in the midst of an extreme heat wave that’s impacting regions like the Pacific Northwest, and it’s not quite the dog days of summer, these are, in a sense, times of chaos for our industry. Rail freight traffic is recovering, rapidly in some sectors, even with the railroads negotiating their way through post-pandemic supply chain disruptions that clarify just how deeply intertwined they are in that very supply chain.

At the same time, we’re in the midst of contentious Class I merger proceedings for which no one really knows where they’re headed. Depending upon the outcome—whether or not the Surface Transportation Board approves a CN-KCS voting trust, and what Canadian Pacific intends to do based on the

MIDYEAR REPORT outcome—the North American railroad map could be in the early stages of a substantial restructuring.

Analyze and speculate all you want.

At the end of the day, the industry’s future may be determined by five people in Washington, D.C. Interesting times, indeed.

Here’s what traffic looks like, just prior to midyear, according to the Association of American Railroads: “U.S. rail volumes in May 2021 were encouraging. Total originated carloads averaged 241,089 per week, the most since October 2019 and up 30.4% over May 2020. In May 2021, 18 of the 20 carload categories the AAR tracks had carload gains over May 2020, while 12 of the 20 had gains over May 2019.

“Meanwhile, intermodal averaged 287,956 originated containers and trailers per week in May 2021. That’s down a bit from April—when the weekly average of 293,488 set a new all-time record—but it’s still the seventh-most for any month in history and by far the most ever for May. Even better, January to May 2021 was the best January to May ever for U.S. intermodal.

“Average weekly coal carloads in May 2021 were their highest since January 2020. May 2021 was the second best month ever for U.S. carloads of chemicals—only January 2021 was higher.

Carloads of primary metal products in May were the highest since April 2019, and carloads of industrial products— an aggregate of seven key carload categories and the rail traffic combination that’s most closely correlated, historically, with overall U.S. GDP—were higher in May than in any month since September 2019. Total carloads excluding coal in May were their highest since August 2019.

“Total originated carloads on Canadian railroads rose 15.1% in May 2021 over May 2020, as 15 of the 20 carload categories saw gains. Canadian intermodal originations averaged 75,867 units in May 2021, the most since November 2020. On Mexican railroads, both carloads and intermodal units saw strong gains in May 2021 compared with May 2020.”

What’s driving all of this? Again, the July 2021 // Railway Age 9

AAR (and thank you to John Gray, Luisa Fernandez-Willey, and the entire Policy and Economics Department): “That sigh of relief you heard was from Washington, where Administration officials were happy the jobs report released June 4 wasn’t worse. A preliminary 559,000 net new jobs were created in May, much higher than April’s 278,000 and consistent with an economy that’s moving in the right direction.

“Other economic indicators released over the past month were, generally speaking, neutral to positive. Manufacturing output in April was up 0.2% over March, but it was up 0.5%, excluding the auto sector (where an ongoing microchip shortage is causing production cutbacks). The Purchasing Managers Index, a gauge of manufacturing growth, was strong in May, while the comparable index focused on services set a new all-time record high in May. In May, the consumer confidence index from the Conference Board was about where it was in March and April—not as high as it was 10 Railway Age // July 2021

in the year before the pandemic began, but much higher than it was in most of 2020.

Consumer spending kept growing in April, albeit more slowly than in March. Housing starts and auto sales weren’t exceptional in April, but they were far from terrible.

Overall, indicators shows the recovery is clearly continuing.

“Inflation is a worry, though. The overall consumer price index (CPI) was up 4.2% in the year ending in April 2021, its biggest gain in more than 13 years. Federal Reserve officials and many economists insist this higher inflation will be temporary. Others aren’t so sure, and if they’re right, the Fed could find itself having to decide, much sooner than it expected, whether to raise interest rates to calm inflation. This could stifle the recovery, shake up financial markets, and generally cause a great deal of unpleasantness.

We’ll have a better idea who’s right in the next few months.

“For railroads, productivity can be measured in various ways. One way is average net freight train load, defined

as net ton-miles divided by train-miles.

Average freight train load for U.S. Class I railroads rose from 2,923 tons in 2000 to 3,585 tons in 2010, thanks largely to the growth of coal traffic. In 2020, it was a record 3,817 tons, despite a huge decline in coal traffic last year.

“A second way to measure rail productivity is revenue ton-miles per employee.

In 2020, that metric was a record 11.95 million, up from 8.71 million in 2000, 11.14 million in 2010, and the previous record of 11.78 million set in 2018. In the first quarter of 2021, it was an estimated 12.99 million, much higher than ever before.

“Average revenue ton-miles per trainhour is a third way to measure rail productivity. In 2020, it was 75,252, higher than ever before.

“Railroads are also using their fuel more productively. In 2020, Class I railroads averaged 487 revenue ton-miles per gallon of fuel, breaking the record of 484 set in 2010, when coal carloads were more than double what they were in 2020. (Coal railwayage.com

MORE THAN PARTS. PERFORMANCE. Amsted Rail, the global leader in fully integrated freight car systems for the heavy haul rail market.

MIDYEAR REPORT trains typically have among the highest ton-miles per gallon of any commodity.) In 2020, Class I railroads consumed just under 3 billion gallons of diesel fuel in freight service, the fewest since 1991.

Railroad fuel efficiency gains are the result of a variety of industry actions, including removing from service thousands of older, less fuel-efficient locomotives; installing fuel management systems that calculate the most fuel-efficient way to operate a train on a given route; increasing railcar capacity and overall train weights; installing idling-reduction technologies such as stop-start systems that shut down locomotives when not in use; and expanding the use of distributed power to reduce the total horsepower needed for train movements.”

Not too shabby, eh? One wonders if the legislators running the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over transportation actually know this stuff, or if they’re just listening to those who shovel

12 Railway Age // July 2021

PAC dollars into their campaign coffers.

Are we doing enough to educate them? On the other hand, if we made the effort, would they care?

Cynical? Perhaps. cowen and company outlook

BY MANAGING DIRECTOR and WALL STREET CONTRIBUTING EDITOR JASON SEIDL Trends across the rail industry appear positive, although ongoing congestion is an issue for inland ramps, according to leaders at our recent “Suds with Seidl” event.

An employee shortage was among the themes of the Cowen and Company call.

One panelist cited 250-300 unfilled jobs a day, due to an inability to find talent. We view this as largely neutral for railroads.

Marketplace update: • Consensus among the panelists was that volumes continue to be robust, with

particular strength across the commodities and intermodal segments, which is in line with the carload data we track.

For one panelist in the New England area, biodiesel has significant upside, as a push in Massachusetts to reduce sulfur as part of home heating has allowed the energy segment to outperform. Another panelist in the South highlighted a continued weak energy market, as well as motor vehicles, which are more than offset by strength in other categories.

• While recently we heard that congestion at the ports is starting to abate, inland congestion continues to be an issue across the supply chain, particularly the intermodal market, according to one panelist.

Inland ramps are employing embargoes, as they do not have the capability to take in more cargo. One panelist cited that logistics is their limiting factor in growth.

• A panelist from Northeast Pennsylvania highlighted continued strong intermodal volumes, and noted that J.B. Hunt

MIDYEAR REPORT is increasing its presence. All the warehousing space popping up—the millions of square feet consistently being built, driven in part by tax incentives—has brought in more traffic to the area and is a positive sign for intermodal. All of this increase in capacity should translate to more carloads.

• All panelists shared the viewpoint that the Class I railroads are able to handle the increased volumes, but are not properly staffed. This is coming at the expense of poor rail service across all aspects of the business: customer service, marketing, sales. Inadequate staffing is making it difficult for the railroads to handle the surge in volumes, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic has stripped out a lot of resources. One panelist who works in rail operations training provided an anecdote of a client in Virginia who was not able to retain employees, despite offering a $90,000 salary and strong benefits package; drivers, conductors, etc. are choosing

14 Railway Age // July 2021

not to work due to a number of industry challenges, including higher unemployment benefits and the use of drug testing, among others. Another panelist said that in any one day, they have between 250-300 jobs that they cannot fill. It is not because of poor compensation/benefits; it is the inability to find talent. Pre-COVID, there were fewer than 50 unfilled jobs.

• On the equipment side, pricing is up 20%-30%, with customers looking to find alternatives and ultimately unable to find any. Components are an issue and have held up lead times. Historically, lead times for new equipment are 6-12 months, but customers are pushing out to 12 months, given the challenges and associated costs. Anything tied to steel has a significant premium right now.

One panelist highlighted the high level of demand for gondolas. Additionally, some larger companies are starting to lean into implications of an infrastructure bill, acknowledging that the commodities

associated with any bill will likely move by rail.

KCS-CN Merger Insight: • One call participant was bearish that the CN deal will go through, and said they could think of five shippers who would be forced to a 2:1 if there is a merger. As just one account manager within the organization, this panelist believes CN has an uphill battle, although it is risky for some shippers to stand up publicly against it, given the rail industry’s “long memory.”

We did have one panelist who believed the highest price offer for KCS would end up winning in the end.

• Shippers are reporting that they are having a hard time supporting a CN merger when overall rail service is poor. During the past 30 years, almost all rail mergers have been a catastrophe, according to one panelist, and improvements in the network are unlikely because operations are just getting back to pre-merger levels.

WOMEN IN TRANSPORTATION During the Clinton Administration, left to right: Delaware DOT Secretary Anne Canby, U.S. Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater, Delaware Gov. Tom Carper and FRA Deputy Administrator Don Itzkoff.

“INTEGRATED, MULTIMODAL THINKING” “You have to step out of your comfort zone if you want to see change,” says Anne Canby. Throughout her remarkable transportation career, she has embraced that mindset.

I

BY DON ITZKOFF, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

n June 2021, Anne P. Canby stepped down as Director of the OneRail Coalition, her latest role in a remarkable transportation career.

From 1977 to 1981, Canby served under President Carter as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs at the USDOT. From 1981 to 1982 she was Assistant Commissioner and then Commissioner of the New Jersey DOT. After working in the private sector and for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Canby served eight years from 1993 to 2001 as Secretary railwayage.com

of the Delaware DOT. Canby afterward led the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership, and in 2008 started OneRail. Canby has been widely recognized for her leading advocacy of multimodal solutions for transportation.

Among her numerous honors, in 2006 the Transportation Research Board awarded her the W.N. Carey, Jr. distinguished service award, and in 2005 the Women’s Transportation Seminar named her International Woman of the Year.

Contributing Editor Don Itzkoff, who

co-founded the OneRail Coalition with Canby and served as OneRail’s first policy counsel, spoke with her.

DON ITZKOFF: How did you get started in transportation?

ANNE CANBY: What got me interested initially were the long gas lines and the urban riots back in the early seventies.

And I wondered, “Maybe transportation could help tie things together in a better way—help rebuild our cities and get us out of those miserable gas lines.” At that time, I was with the National Committee for an July 2021 // Railway Age 17

WOMEN IN TRANSPORTATION Effective Congress. I soon decided I didn’t want to keep doing political work for the rest of my life, so when President Carter was elected, this opened new opportunities, and transportation seemed a good idea.

DI: What did you learn from working in Washington at USDOT during the Carter Administration?

AC: When I came to the DOT, I knew very little about transportation, but I had the great, good fortune of working for Mort Downey, who was then the Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs, and a very close aide to Secretary Brock Adams. Being in the budget shop exposed me to all aspects of transportation. I was like a sponge, trying to learn as much as possible. While at DOT, my focus was more on urban transportation issues, transit and planning, and not so much on rail.

DI: Then you moved over to the NJDOT, first as Assistant Commissioner and then Commissioner.

AC: Having the opportunity to work at the NJDOT provided me the perspective of transportation from the state level. I was lucky to work with another of the transportation “greats,” Lou Gambaccini. NJ Transit had just been created, and the state had enacted a big funding package, so there was much to do to make sure the program accomplished what had been promised.

DI: After NJDOT, you worked in the private sector and with the MBTA, and in 1993 you became Secretary of the Delaware DOT. DelDOT cites you as one of its 10 historical figures and notes, “Advocating for sustainable development and multimodal options, her tenure and philosophy coincided with national initiatives to minimize environmental impacts from highways . . . [Canby] moved the Department from a highway focus to a transportation focus.” Why did you become so committed to multimodal thinking?

AC: Remember, ISTEA had just been enacted. That was thought to be a sea change. Construction of the Interstate system was coming to a close, so what was next?

We have many different transportation modes, but we’ve put so much emphasis on highways that we’ve often treated the other 18 Railway Age // July 2021

modes as though they were, well, the “other modes.” There are proper roles for walking, biking, transit, automobile, intercity rail, freight rail, air and marine. But we operate in such modal silos, it’s hard to conceive of and actually operationalize truly integrated, multimodal thinking. My work at the state level cemented my view that we have to think in a more integrated, multimodal way if we are serious about addressing safety, congestion, urban form and, ultimately, the climate challenge.

The highway system in so many parts of our country is so overstressed, it can’t handle more traffic. We have to figure out how to move both people and goods more efficiently, how to manage demand, and how to develop a coherent vision that leads to better outcomes across a whole range of concerns, whether it be safety, sprawl, environment, climate, you name it.

DI: How did your colleagues at other state DOTs—especially those considering themselves “highway departments”—react to your emphasis on multimodalism?

AC: A lot of them didn’t like it. Some said they didn’t want the flexibility to use highway funds for other modal investments including rail. I told them, “You don’t have to do it. Just give me the flexibility so I can invest in what my state needs.” I think what scared the established highway crowd the most was if you open up the idea that there’s flexibility, outsiders might pick up on that and push them to do things differently.

Change is always a little scary, but having flexibility can produce very positive outcomes. Just look at the rail projects that have emerged from the USDOT’s discretionary programs.

When I joined the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership (STPP) we helped transit, bike and walking advocates understand how to work better with the state DOTs and understand when to take “yes” for an answer. Achieving change requires patience, persistence and listening. It takes time to have the conversations and learn other perspectives. If you aren’t willing to listen to each other, change gets really hard to accomplish.

DI: From your foundation at STPP, you created the OneRail Coalition.

AC: In 2008, another cycle of reauthorization was coming up. As I recall, there was some ridiculous conversation about the need to double the Interstate system, which struck me as beyond crazy. That couldn’t be the only way to deal with growth. I felt that rail, and freight rail particularly, was a totally under-appreciated part of the transportation system.

Everyone sees trucks, but few understand what freight rail contributes to the transportation system, not to mention to the economy. Likewise, so many regions of the U.S. have no passenger rail service so it doesn’t even come up as an option. Building more visibility for rail seemed worth a try. Plus, it was clear that climate was going to be a big issue. Rail is perfectly suited to address sustainability challenges and improve overall safety, yet in some ways it was the forgotten or ignored mode.

At the same time, Matt Rose with BNSF and Frank Busalacchi with Wisconsin DOT were finishing up their roles on the National Surface Transportation Policy Revenue Study Commission, and looking at how they could keep their emphasis on rail going. You and I met with lots of people.

AAR came on board. APTA, Amtrak and the short lines wanted to join. Labor was interested. Other stakeholders including suppliers and engineering firms wanted in, and it all made sense.

DI: What keeps OneRail together?

AC: The rail sector, like other modes, has a number of aspects—public and private railwayage.com

WOMEN IN TRANSPORTATION owner/operators, labor, suppliers and more.

What everyone recognized was that rail could benefit by expanding awareness of the value and contributions it makes to the transportation system overall. We made it clear early on that OneRail was not the place to settle internal disagreements.

Over the years, OneRail has helped raise the profile of rail through our messaging, reports, polling, policy positions, forums and other outreach. The key is to find common ground among sometimes disparate interests to push for better outcomes for safety, for the environment, for the economy. If we were really serious about safety being the number one priority, we’d be moving a lot more freight and people on rail, which is far safer than by road.

DI: Beyond ensuring safety, what are some of the key policy challenges ahead for rail?

AC: While OneRail has helped raise the profile of rail, we still live in a highwaycentric world. So for me, the first challenge is to move out of our modal silos and open our thinking to focus on the best way to move freight and people to support our economy, protect our environment, improve access and provide good paying U.S. jobs. “Fixing the highway trust fund” might not be the most important issue. Instead, spreading travel demand across multiple modes would relieve the stress on the highway network; benefit multiple communities; and provide safer, more reliable service.

Overall, establishing predictable and reliable funding sources to support equitable investment in all of our transportation systems is perhaps the biggest challenge.

Unlike highways, air and to some degree transit, Amtrak must rely on annual appropriations, an unpredictable and inefficient situation at best. Never having had a reliable, let alone adequate, source of capital has left Amtrak’s infrastructure with a significant backlog of replacement and rehabilitation needs. For high speed rail, cost projections for some of the new rail corridors have big numbers, creating pushback. Imagine the hullabaloo that would have erupted if people had known at the outset how much it was going to cost to build the Interstate system.

Freight railroads present different policy challenges. To ensure that rail is in a position railwayage.com

to meet growing demand, freight railroads must be able to earn adequate revenue to invest in their networks and expand their customer base. It would help if the trucking folks paid their full share for their use of the road network. Short line railroads benefit from having access to public funding for capital commensurate with public benefits, allowing them to expand and improve their services for shippers.

Moving to a new paradigm is partly institutional, partly process; state DOTs focus on the road systems they’re responsible for, privately owned freight rail and Amtrak have their own priorities. Regulatory approaches need to change, too—as just one example, the NEPA process has become a checklist rather than a real decision-making tool.

“Don’t be afraid to try new things. You might fail once in a while, but you also will have a bunch of successes, and that’s what moves things forward.”

DI: But achieving positive outcomes takes more than just well-reasoned talk.

AC: Under the direction of the BidenHarris Administration, we have the chance to set a path for transformative investments across the transportation spectrum incorporating every mode. Their revised criteria and priorities can ignite the creative juices to come up with new ways to address the perennial issues on the highway side. Freight and passenger rail can be part of a new paradigm. In determining what investment to make to address a particular problem, the process should be mode-agnostic in identifying the best investment. Rail may often be the better answer.

While not everyone agrees with every aspect, proposals under consideration in Congress offer a ray of hope, bringing new thinking and approaches. Sadly, the partisan headaches we are dealing with today don’t make the task any easier.

Best of all, OneRail has two skilled leaders

in Devon Barnhart and Liz Hill, both of whom can play a major role in achieving better outcomes for all of rail.

DI: You have pushed creativity and innovation your entire career, and you’ve demolished old barriers. What can women or indeed any aspiring transportation professional learn from your path-breaking experiences?

AC: I hope there is something! The world has changed since I had most of those jobs.

Today, it’s not such a shock to have a woman lead a DOT. There are plenty of women leading transit agencies. Katie Farmer at BNSF leads a Class I railroad. So many women have come after me.

My view is that assuming a leadership role in any organization where you are seen as “different,” you have to have your own goals, but you also need to understand where an organization is. Staying focused and looking for opportunities to advance your priorities for whatever job you’re in is vital.

DI: What more can you share about making a difference?

AC: As I said, listening—really learning how to listen and hear what people are saying—is very important. I would also say look for opportunities. I’ve bounced around a lot. I can’t imagine staying in one place for 30 years, not that I really had the choice of doing that, but you learn by seeing problems from different perspectives. Whether you’re on Capitol Hill, or in an Administration, or at a state level, or in the private sector, wherever, you get a different perspective of the issues and the answers.

You have to step out of your comfort zone if you want to see change. I’ve never had a problem doing that. Don’t be afraid to try new things. You might fail once in a while, but you also will have a bunch of successes, and that’s what moves things forward.

Tech Focus: Rail Lubrication and Friction Management

MORE THAN JUST GREASE

BY MARYBETH LUCZAK, EXECUTIVE EDITOR

L

ubrication and friction management can help railroads reduce fuel consumption by 5% to 15% or more depending on route characteristics, according to Transportation Technology Center, Inc., (TTCI) evaluations. And compared with dry conditions, both have been observed to reduce rail wear rates by 80% or more in extreme curving conditions.

20 Railway Age // July 2021

“With the potential benefits of rail friction control documented over a period exceeding 100 years, recent research and development has focused on how best to implement rail lubrication strategies,” TTCI Senior AVP Research and Development Gary Fry tells Railway Age. “There have been two main areas of focus for this implementation research. First, there is a need to maintain rail friction at targeted levels

(i.e., not too high and not too low) to ensure benefit from the lubrication, while also ensuring desirable dynamic performance of locomotives, railcars and overall trains.

“Second, there is a need to apply the lubricant material as effectively and efficiently as possible, ensuring a proper volume of product is maintained at appropriate locations on the rail, while avoiding waste. The results of these efforts have railwayage.com

RBL, Inc./Robolube

Today’s suppliers are not only providing lubrication and friction management systems that significantly reduce rail wear and fuel expenses, but also developing all-weather products and remote monitoring capabilities that lower the railroads’ cost of ownership—and maximize performance.

Tech Focus: Rail Lubrication and Friction Management Loram’s newly designed 25-gallon, 200-pound capacity tank incorporates many short line/regional and transit clientrequested features. The internal components are more accessible and ergonomically friendly, and the consumable compartment is now removable for easier seasonal changeouts.

L.B. FOSTER Because friction management is a more mature market in North America, L.B. Foster’s aims include helping customers to enhance or further maximize the benefits of their existing programs and to reduce the life-cycle cost associated with running and maintaining programs, according to John Cotter, General Manager for Friction Management, North America.

Last year, the company rolled out its Remote Performance Monitoring (RPM) 2.0 platform, which “allows us to take the telemetry from our existing trackside lubricators, and send it to a web-based platform, where all the data from all the units can be compiled,” Cotter says. Customers can find out if their tanks are dry or if their units are functioning. “We have built in algorithms that we can calculate, for example, what you 22 Railway Age // July 2021

percent uptime is,” Cotter reports. This is key, he adds, since the higher the uptime, the more benefits can be generated. The platform also provides customers with a cleaner, more user-friendly interface.

L.B. Foster’s digital control boxes are “the brains” of the lubricator, Cotter notes.

GPS-enabled, they provide customers with lubricator location details. If a lubricator is moved, that information is automatically updated and ties into the RPM 2.0 platform.

The company is also enhancing its lubricator tank design for freight railroad use, based on the “first in, first out” principle, Cotter says. “If you’re switching between seasonal greases, whatever goes into tank first gets consumed first,” he explains. “It’s important because, especially when you’re switching seasonal greases, if it’s not done correctly or there’s residual grease from a winter grease or a summer grease in the tank, it can cause the lubricator to malfunction.” L.B. Foster’s objective is to eliminate failure potential. If the lubrication system is not working, “it’s not protecting our customer’s rail,” Cotter says.

On the transit side, L.B. Foster is working to commercialize a new top-of-rail product.

Currently under field trials, it will not only provide noise and rail corrugation mitigation benefits, but also will serve as an allseason product. The company also plans to market its traction enhancers in North

America—products that are well-established in the U.K., Cotter says. Network Rail, for example, rolls out its units in autumn, before the leaves start to fall, to keep their trains running on schedule.

What’s next? L.B. Foster is developing a vehicle-mounted friction modifier application system. For freight rail or transit use, it will eliminate the need for crews to be near the track, filling wayside tanks.

LORAM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Over the past year, Loram’s friction management business has been growing globally, Director of Product Management Bruce Wise tells Railway Age. “Our customers continue to push us for new technology and innovative solutions to their wheel/ rail friction management needs,” he says.

“This includes making the equipment as user friendly and robust as possible. Many clients are asking for various remote-monitoring [capabilities] for existing and new units. Keeping and confirming that units are working properly is critical to railway operations.” He adds that Loram’s equipment is designed to be easy to use and maintain in challenging environments.

The company recently introduced a newly designed 25-gallon, 200-pound capacity tank for use primarily in the short line and regional railroad and transit markets.

“It incorporates many new features that railwayage.com

Loram Technologies, Inc.

been successful on all fronts. Recent years have seen improved lubrication materials and strategies in terms of maintaining desirable and effective target friction levels covering a wide range of climate conditions, as well as improved lubrication material application systems.”

To find out where the market is headed, and what new freight rail and transit products are in the pipeline, Railway Age spoke with L.B. Foster; Loram Technologies, Inc.; and RBL, Inc./Robolube.

Tech Focus: Rail Lubrication and Friction Management were requested by our existing client base, including making the internal tank components more accessible and ergonomically friendly,” Wise explains. “The consumable compartment is also now removable for easier seasonal changeouts.”

RBL, INC./ROBOLUBE While the pandemic slowed RBL, Inc./ Robolube efforts to get its new R2K Wayside Lubricator units onto customer networks, “we are slowly gaining traction with our first units being installed,” President Robert G. Pieper tells Railway Age. (One year ago, the company’s units were in the production stage.) “We are optimistic at our initial feedback on how well the R2K Wayside Lubricators are performing,” he reports. “We expect greater acceptance and an increase in orders for our new technology in 2022.”

In addition to the Robolube R2K “Cold Weather/Heated” LP-powered units initially developed for hi-rail gauge face lubrication with complete system heating provisions, the company is now designing

Tech Focus: Rail Lubrication and Friction Management variations of the R2K for dual rail application (per customer request), all electric versions (when heating is not required), and solar-powered units (without heating), for example, according to Pieper.

The company is also adding a Wireless Control System to its Robolube Hyrail Track Lubricators to eliminate cab overcrowding and simplify installation. And it is offering the Model R-1000 (1,000-pound capacity) Combination Hyrail Lubricator with Wayside Fill Provisions; Model 200-40 2-Tank Combination Gauge and Top Of Rail Hyrail Lubricator; and Robolube Model TRF-100 Transfer System for filling wayside lubricator reservoirs, either powered hydraulically from the truck tool circuit or independent gas motor.

Rail lubrication and friction management is not just another cost for railroads to take on, sums up L.B. Foster’s Cotter. In light of rising fuel and rail steel prices, he recommends reviewing the business case.

“At the end of the day, it does drive benefits,” he notes.

odern track geometry measurement systems are precise, productive tools that enable railroads to plan and conduct programmed maintenance, and take action before failures and service disruptions occur. Here’s what Loram Technologies Inc. has to offer.

“The fundamental indicator of track condition is track geometry, and in most cases, the condition defining the need for track quality improvement is poorly performing track geometry,” says Loram.

“When we think of the geometry of the track, we think of the lines, curves and angles that make up the track’s position along the right-of-way, and we talk of such things as vertical profile, horizontal alignment, cross-level and gage.”

Track geometry data from a measurement vehicle “provide an objective indication of the roughness of track, and by aligning and comparing track geometry roughness over time, one can quantify the performance and deterioration rate of the track,” says Loram. “For example, by analyzing the vertical profile geometry channel from successive inspection runs over time, the performance of the track’s ballast and drainage condition can be evaluated, since vertical profile is the geometry parameter most influenced by track substructure condition.”

Loram has developed a “heat plot” that expresses the geometry roughness on a color scale, with “cool” colors (blue, green) indicating smoother geometry, and “hot”

railwayage.com

colors (orange, red) indicating rougher geometry (see Figure 1, below).

Integrating performance information derived from track geometry data with condition information “provides insight into the root cause of track performance issues,” notes Loram. “From a track substructure perspective, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data provides continuous measurement of the condition of track substructure layers by providing information on the fouling condition of the ballast, the

subsurface moisture condition, and the layer thickness and configuration of the bottom of ballast layer and the top of subgrade.

Additional right-of-way information from LIDAR scanning, precisely aligned to GPR and track geometry information, provides an even more complete picture of the health of the line. Integrating disparate information and providing an intuitive visualization of the combined information, is very useful for track maintenance management and renewal planning.”

hrough the Association of American Railroads (AAR) Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI) program, Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) has been assisting suppliers and other stakeholders in the development of machine vision technologies and related algorithms for evaluating railcar components and conditions. To enhance safety and reduce worker exposure to yard risk, North American railroads have begun to install machine vision inspection systems in revenue service.

Using commercially available deep

learning system platforms, TTCI researchers developed and demonstrated three convolutional neural networkbased applications for analyzing visual images. A convolutional neural network is a type of artificial neural network that uses machine learning algorithms to analyze digital images. Convolutional neural networks are more powerful and effective than traditional artificial neural networks at recognizing, interpreting, and categorizing large, unstructured data sets; particularly those comprising visual imagery. The convolutional neural networks that TTCI demonstrated were used to identify and evaluate components

on the railcar truck. Specifically, convolutional neural networks were developed to identify truck type, detect the location of a spring group and measure the compression of spring coils to determine load conditions.

A convolutional neural network must be trained to recognize and categorize data. This training is accomplished “by example” and requires two components: 1) A sampling of images representative of the type expected to be processed by the convolutional neural network, and 2) A specified desired output for when the network recognizes—or does not recognize—certain objects in each of these railwayage.com

images. Grayscale JPEG images with 2048 × 2048 resolution were deemed adequate for developing and testing the applications. These images were obtained from TTCI’s manual viewer database system, which contains machine vision data from vision systems on site at the Federal Railroad Administration Transportation Technology Center (TTC), as well as images from a revenue service location (Stewart, Monique, Matthew Witte, and Abe Meddah. August 2020. “In-Service Performance of a Truck Component Inspection System,” Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Research and Development, DOT/FRA/ORD-20/31, Washington, D.C.). A total of 1,276 images were used to build and test these applications and to evaluate the overall possibility of machine learning technology.

In the platform used to demonstrate this application, users must label several images as they are uploaded initially; however, when enough images are labeled, the system’s automated process can take over and finish the task. For each application developed, the automated process randomly selected 75% of the images used as the training set. The remaining 25% of the images were withheld as a validation set and used later to evaluate accuracy. The Truck Type Classification, Spring Group Detection, and railwayage.com

Motion Control®

Spring Group Load applications attained 97%, 100% and 91% accuracy rates, respectively, for randomly selected validation sets.

This program demonstrated the viability of using convolutional neural network-based machine learning applications to detect, identify and classify specific patterns from images of railcar components. Further collaboration from railroads and railroad industry stakeholders is anticipated. Coordinated collaboration would generate uniform

sets of railcar component/condition images for use by the algorithm developers to develop more convolutional neural network-based applications. Such applications could then be tested and validated with a goal of implementation.

This, in turn, would allow for reliable, real-time monitoring of in-service railcar components that would enhance the potential for maintenance planning.

Work has already begun at Railinc to build a machine vision image repository for the industry.

People JOHN F. KASEL, ROBERT P. BAUER L.B. Foster Company

HIGH PROFILE: L.B. Foster last month reported the retirement of President and CEO Robert P. Bauer (top photo). Effective July 21, he will be succeeded by 18-year company veteran John F. Kasel, who currently serves as Senior Vice President and COO. Also on July 21, Bauer will step down as a Director of the L.B. Foster Board, a role Kasel will take on. Bauer has led the Pittsburgh, Pa.-based company since 2012. To ensure a seamless transition, L.B. Foster said Bauer would remain with the company through Dec. 31, 2021 as a Senior Advisor to Kasel.

Kasel joined the company in 2003 as Vice President-Operations and Manufacturing. He has since held roles of increasing responsibility, including SVP-Operations and Manufacturing, SVP-Rail Products & Services, and SVP-Rail & Construction.

Kasel was promoted to his current position in December 2019.

“This announcement follows a CEO succession-planning process developed and executed by the Board of Directors and Bob,” Chairman of the Board Lee B. Foster said.

“The Board is particularly pleased that we have our next CEO talent within the company. John is a proven leader, and over the course of his 18 years with the company, I have watched him take on increasing responsibilities across all of our business lines.

The Board is excited about the opportunities the company has identified to create shareholder value. During the past year, John has been instrumental in leading strategic planning initiatives, making this an opportune time for him to assume the CEO role. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Bob for his commitment and dedication to serving this company as CEO. He has guided us through some challenging times during his tenure, and has created a more technology- and solutions-oriented company positioned to take advantage of the digital railroad and the need for infrastructure modernization. We are pleased that he will stay on for the remainder of the year to allow for a smooth transition.”

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as CEO for nearly a decade,” Bauer said. “I want to express my appreciation to the team of people who take on the challenges and opportunities every day in an effort to build a great future. We have extraordinary talent and a deep sense of teamwork that make this a great company to lead. I am very pleased that the Board has recognized John Kasel’s accomplishments and his ability to lead this company going forward. I am confident that his leadership and focus on execution and strategy will reward shareholders.”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to lead such a dynamic global company,” Kasel said. “I have a deep appreciation of the hard work and dedication our employees have exhibited to build a great foundation for growing shareholder value.”

Financial Edge Rail Insights 2021 Takeaways

A

t Railway Age’s 2021 Rail Insights conference (held “live” virtually in June 2021), three major trends emerged: The rebound in rail is in full swing; short lines and Class I railroads are feeling pressure to respond to growing demand in a challenging labor market; and the industry is in a “wait, see and respond” mode when contemplating who will be the ultimate long-term dance partner for KCS. Additionally, infrastructure improvements on the horizon are poised to help freight and passenger rail.

FREIGHT MARKET UPDATE The two Class I CEO presenters—Katie Farmer, BNSF, and Jim Foote, CSX—talked about increasing carload demand and that the trend will continue in the second half of 2021. Farmer noted that energy loadings lag the broader recovery. For BNSF, this was not a drag on total freight volumes as the railroad is delivering more than 200,000 loads per week, with agriculture leading the resurgence. In response, BNSF is adding car capacity to address growing volume-capacity constraints.

Foote is seeing broad increases in carloads on CSX, noting that CSX is prepared for increases due to recent service and process improvements.

Jason Seidl, Managing Director of Cowen and Company and Railway Age Wall Street Contributing Editor, noted freight levels were selectively above 2019’s. This is a strong signal for an industry looking for a robust, consistent rebound. While the improvement is stronger in intermodal than on carload alone, it suggests a continuing rebound.

Both Class I CEOs noted that they are focused on increasing their workforces as freight demand is growing. Seidl also noted the struggles in adding employees across all freight business: rail, trucking and marine.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS In addition to Farmer and Foote, Peter Gilbertson, Chair of Anacostia Rail Holdings, talked about the industry’s need to 32 Railway Age // July 2021

focus on improving customer service. This is not lip service. This is, especially in the case of Gilbertson, the key to expanding the footprint of the short line railroads under his guidance. (Anacostia owns six such railroads.)

Gilbertson noted that every rail touch point can make a positive customer impact. He is focused on delivery service and timing, managing customer capex in regards to consuming rail service, educating customers on what rail freight can provide to them, and on putting a face to the railroads in local communities.

Improved service is also on the minds of the Class I’s. In discussing customer service, Foote noted that rail customers do not care about dwell times. They care about service.

Farmer highlighted BNSF’s aggressive focus on sustainability, and its efforts to reduce greenhouse gases with a focus on battery locomotives, electric intermodal terminal cranes and trip optimization.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND PASSENGER RAIL HIGHLIGHTS Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-N.J.), Chairman of the House Railroad Subcommittee, highlighted the success of work on projects in the mid-Atlantic area for an aging infrastructure in need of renewal. One largescale project with heightened focus is the Gateway project to improve the Northeast Corridor rail tunnels between New York and New Jersey. He stated that 20% of GDP moves through those tunnels. Payne also noted a focus in Congress on addressing the expiring STB legislation (October 2021). He also favors consistent funding over annual budget approvals for Amtrak.

Kevin Corbett, President and CEO of NJ Transit, also highlighted the Gateway project, which includes replacing the Portal Bridge, the 111-year-old movable span over the Hackensack River between New Jersey and New York, at a cost of $1.8 billion. A contract for that project is expected to be awarded by the end of the year.

Foote highlighted CSX’s role in “Transforming Rail in Virginia,” selling 386 miles of right-of-way to allow for a second rail

line dedicated to Virginia Railway Express and Amtrak service.

Payne also explained his opposition to single-person train freight crews by saying they amount to nothing more than a cost savings for the railroad that compromise safety, despite conference host Editor-inChief William C. Vantuono’s accurate observations “with all due respect” to the Congressman that 1) no FRA safety data exists to support two-person crews as safer than one-person crews; 2) crew size has always been negotiated under the Railway Labor Act—legislation created by Congress; 3) the NTSB has never specified a minimum crew size; and 4) the railroads would only implement one-person crews on lines equipped with PTC and other supporting advanced technologies.

THE BIG RED ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM Seidl addressed the merger situation involving KCS, CN and CP with two blockbuster comments: One, if the STB does not approve the voting trust for CN, then CP will be back in contention. If it’s approved, he expects CP to refocus its merger efforts on another Class I. Farmer noted that BNSF has concerns about the potential for a KCS merger (independent of partner) to restrict competitive access for traffic into and out of Mexico. That is a key point for both Western Class I’s.

Foote indicated that he thought the door to additional mergers (that may or may not include CSX) would continue to be open once the KCS merger is complete.
