“Congressman, are you putting words in my mouth?”

I

would love to testify at one of those pointless Congressional hearings that are nothing more than circus acts where politicians pepper railroad professionals with uninformed opinions and orchestrated questions designed to ensure that re-election campaign donors keep the money flowing. Facts be damned. Reality be ignored. “Constructive discussion” be reduced to an oxymoron. Civility and decency be mocked. Line of questioning be relegated to non-sequitors. Answers be cut off in mid-sentence by the next dumb question or statement. Where the role of one testifying is “open mouth and allow words to be inserted, while one is being disrespected.” And oh, yeah, after you’ve been whacked around like a piñata, the attackpuppy, baseball-bat-wielding Congressman will walk up to you, smile, shake your hand and thank you for your input.

Sounds a bit sociopathic, eh?

But this is how the political game is played, I’m told by those who have spent most of their careers on Capitol Hill. This is how things get done. It’s nothing personal.

Just go along with it. It’s part of the job.

Yeah, okay.

Here’s a fictional scenario: I’m testifying before the House Railroad Subcommittee.

The topic is safety. The chairman, in his opening statement, refers to an interview I published with a highly respected, recently retired Class I Executive Chairman. He even

names Railway Age. Hey, nice touch! Nice to be taken seriously—I guess.

Questioning starts. I’m bracing myself.

“So, Mr. Vantuono, what do you make of all these train wrecks?”

“Which ones specifically?”

“Well, I don’t know. There’s been a lot of them recently.”

“With all due respect, Mr. Chairman, is this an assumption, or is your question based on hard evidence or facts?”

“Don’t you think a lot of these freight trains are too long?”

“Well, let’s think about this. Train length is based on numerous factors: tonnage, grade and curvature, siding and signal block length, locomotive tractive effor—” “It’s not safe. You must be unhappy, right?”

“Congressman, again with all due respect, are you putting words in my mouth? Actually, what makes me unhappy is that my tax dollars pay your salary. The least you can do with my money is educate yourself on railroads so that you can ask intelligent questions. Tell me, do you actually read Railway Age or Rail Group News, our daily electronic newsletter?”

Next thing I know, I’m being escorted out of the hearing room.

Guess I won’t be called again to testify, eh? No matter. I have more important things to do with my time than audition for a second career as a circus performer.

Industry Indicators “Disappointing News is Easy to Find” “You have to look pretty hard to find good news in May’s rail traffic data, but disappointing news is easy to find,” the Association of American Railroads noted. “Carloads are taking hits from several sides. Flooding in the Midwest has been hindering operations. Heightened economic uncertainty is being made worse by increased trade-related tensions, higher tariffs leading to reductions or disruptions of international trade, and lower industrial and manufacturing output. In addition, some rail markets are undergoing rapid change. For example, locally sourced frac sand in Texas is displacing sand that used to be shipped in by rail. And ongoing trade disputes and tariffs aren’t helping intermodal.”

A SLIGHT DROP ACROSS THE BOARD Figures released by the Surface Transportation Board show Class I total railroad employment dropped an almost negligible 1% in May 2019, measured against May 2018, identical to the prior month. What’s interesting is that, for the first time, all six employement categories experienced virtually the same percentage drop, 1%, when rounding is taken into account. In the short term, it most likely indicates headcount reductions attributable to Precision Scheduled Railroading. Longer term, it’s difficult to predict where employment is headed, especially when traffic is down.

Industry Outlook

Canada, U.S. Tank Car Specs Consistent Railroad tank cars transporting TIH (toxic inhalation hazard) substances in Canada will be required to have heads and shells constructed of normalized steel under updated Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations established by Transport Canada. The new rules, which take effect July 2, 2021, are consistent with updated U.S. regulations.

Normalized steel undergoes heat treatment that increases its durability and resistance to cracking at low temperatures.

The interim TIH tank standard (HM-246 in the U.S., which authorized the use of interim tank specifications for new construction of TIH cars DOT-105J500I, DOT-112J500I or DOT-105J600I, depending on commodity, and 9-mph rollover protection, limited to a 20-year regulatory life) will become Canada’s permanent standard. Car service life will be extended to 50 years, also consistent with the U.S. The thickness of any new pressure tank car constructed using carbon steel of 483 to 558 mpa (70,000 to 81,000 psi) minimum tensile strength will be increased from 16 mm (5/8 inch) to 16.7 mm (21/32 inch).

The thermal protection systems for new Class 117 (DOT-117J) tank cars must 6 Railway Age // July 2019

include, at minimum, a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch)-thick ceramic fiber blanket. Tank cars meeting all these requirements but authorized for transport under an equivalency certificate must have their equivalency certificate stencil marking removed at the next tank qualification.

Transport Canada said that phasing out tank cars constructed of non-normalized steel “will provide greater protection to Canadians and the environment by reducing the risks of transporting toxic substances by rail. Rail shippers also now have consistent rules on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border.”

The amendments to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations also effect Emergency Response Assistance Plan regulations, specifically, to clarify the process for when such plans are to be implemented, and by whom.

An Emergency Response Assistance Plan is required for transporting certain higher-risk dangerous goods. It describes the actions to be taken in the event of an accident and is intended to help emergency responders by providing them with specialized expertise, equipment or response teams when needed, according to Transport Canada.

The U.S. Department of Transportation named the Short Line Safety Institute’s (SLSI) program, Safety Culture Assessment (SCA), “the most comprehensive or robust approach in the U.S. railroad industry” in evaluating safety culture.

The SCA model was evaluated against merit criteria such as multiple methods of measurement, multiple levels of measurement, in-situ observation and safety policy review by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, which conducted the evaluation. According to Volpe, “All key characteristics of a rigorous safety culture assessment model were not described as being utilized to assess safety culture in any of the sources reviewed, making the SLSI’s Assessment process unique and ‘exemplary for meeting the merit criteria for rigor.’”

To address opportunity areas identified in SCAs, SLSI has developed programs—all of which are provided free of charge to the short line industry—to address hazardous material movement (Hazardous Material Training Program); soft-skill training (Leadership Development Training); and safety tips for use in railroad safety briefings.

“We are pleased to be recognized for providing industry-leading programs in safety culture for railroads,” said Tom Murta, Executive Director, SLSI. “Our comprehensive, non-punitive Safety Culture Assessments have provided insight to more than 70 short line railroads to date. The rigorous methodology we use has proven objective and helpful to railroads that have participated, leading to an ever-stronger safety environment on short line railroads. The methods applied in the on-site evaluations and throughout the Assessment process has identified key industry best practices, and clear direction to the Institute on opportunity areas, resulting in the next wave of programs to assist short line railroads in continuously raising the bar on safety culture.” railwayage.com

SLSI SCA “Most Comprehensive”

Market MassDOT, MBTA: $18.3B Capex The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) last month approved a five-year, $18.3 billion Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Years 20202024, a rolling five-year plan updated annually. The CIP will bring an increase of about $1 billion over the most recent five-year CIP. It includes all MassDOT rail and transit projects, including the MBTA and regional transit authorities as well as non-rail projects. The CIP includes investments ranging in scale and in purpose—from small-scale maintenance projects to large-scale multimodal modernization projects. It also includes long-term investments.

NORTH AMERICA The Transbay Corridor Core Capacity Project in San Francisco received a Fiscal Year 2018 funding allocation of $300 million through the FTA’s Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program. The project aims to improve capacity on the existing Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) rapid transit system between the Oakland and downtown San Francisco. FTA has advanced funding for 23 new CIG projects totaling approximately $6.3 billion in funding commitments throughout the nation since 2017. The FTA is also advancing the

Transbay project into the engineering phase. The project must still progress through additional steps in the CIG program to be eligible to receive a construction grant agreement.

The Federal Railroad Administration awarded 45 projects in 29 states with $326 million-plus in grant money under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program and the Special Transportation Circumstances (STC) Program. The funds will go toward a wide variety of state and local railroad infrastructure projects. More than one-third of the funds were awarded to rural projects.

Bombardier Transportation last month announced that it has signed a new contract extension worth $220 million with the City and County of San Francisco to provide 10 years of operations and maintenance services—with an option for five additional years—for the Bombardier Innovia APM 100 automated people mover (APM) system at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Bombardier originally delivered the system in 2003.

WORLDWIDE Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the National Transport Authority have awarded Transdev Ireland a six-year contract to operate and maintain Dublin’s Luas light rail network. The Luas contract begins Dec. 1 and includes an optional five-year extension. Transdev has operated Luas since the opening of the first line in 2004, and in 2014 was awarded a contract to continue operating the network for a further five years. Alstom currently maintains the network’s infrastructure and LRV fleet.

The CRE Consortium and the ChineseHungarian Railway Non-profit Limited Company (CHRN), set up by Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) and the Chinese government, have signed a $1.5 billion contract for upgrading the Hungarian section of the Budapest-Belgrade line between Soroksár south of the capital and the Kelebia border crossing. Work will include double-tracking and electrification, and the maximum line speed will be raised to 100 mph. Trains are currently limited to a maximum of 60 mph with numerous speed restrictions.

ION LRT Opens for Business

I

ON, the Waterloo Region’s new light rail transit system in Ontario, Canada, aims to serve the residents and visitors of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, as well as surrounding rural municipalities.

As part of the GrandLinq Consortium, Keolis Grand River—Keolis’ local subsidiary—is responsible for the 16 kilometers of light rail line operations for the next 10 years, and maintenance for the next 30 years.

The contract, which was awarded in May 2014, is under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). This is Keolis’ first light rail operation in North America.

The network is funded by all three levels of government and fully integrated within the Region of Waterloo’s existing public transport service, Grand River Transit (GRT), Keolis noted.

Keolis, which currently operates 25 LRT networks around the world, said the system’s light rail vehicles (LRVs) will run on a dedicated route along right-of-way 8 Railway Age // July 2019

isolated from regular traffic, except at intersections and road crossings. The project is divided into two phases, with Phase 2 studies under way.

The ION LRT project includes: 16-km network with 19 stations (25,000 passengers per day expected); 14 accessible, 100% low-floor electric Flexity LRVs made by Bombardier in Ontario and operating every eight minutes during peak hours with an off-peak schedule of 15-minute frequency; 200-passenger capacity per vehicle; full integration within the existing GRT network—ION and GRT will be one system with one fare; 40 LRV operators who participated in an extensive training program (120-plus hours); a control room with 15 employees supervising train operations, power management and coordinating incident response 24/7 yearround; and 30 technicians and engineers monitoring and maintaining the LRVs and the infrastructure.

“We are delighted to start operating the light rail for Region of Waterloo,” said Bernard Tabary, CEO International of Keolis Group. “We began testing and commissioning the trams and control center in July 2017. Now, with responsibility for operating and maintaining the ION LRT for Region of Waterloo, we’re looking forward to enhancing quality of life in the region for many years to come.”

The new system is funded by three levels of government.” railwayage.com

Contract operator Keolis North America on June 21 launched the long-awaited ION Light Rail Transit (LRT) at Kitchener’s Fairway Station.

Update Thales Picked for Ottawa LRT Expansion East-West Connectors has chosen Thales to provide its SelTrac™ Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) system for the City of Ottawa’s Stage 2 O-Train Confederation Line extension project.

The Stage 2 Confederation Line extension will expand the initial Stage 1 Confederation Line farther east to Trim Road and farther west to Baseline Road and Moodie Drive, adding 28 kilometers of rail, 16 stations, and a maintenance and storage facility.

Following the expansion’s completion, the Confederation Line will consist of 29 stations spanning a distance of 40 kilometers. Thales noted that the completed project aims to take 780,000 annual rush-hour bus trips off the road and move upwards of 24,000 customers per hour.

Thales said its contribution to the Stage 2 O-Train Confederation Line extension project—it was the train control technology of choice for Stage 1—consists of “integrating control units onboard each train, the installation of guideway equipment, including

zone controllers, as well as commissioning the system to be safely integrated within Stage 1 operations.”

“The Stage 2 O-Train Confederation Line extension project allows Thales to continue to play an important role in providing a world-class transit system to Canada’s

national capital,” said Dominique Gaiardo, VP, Managing Director, Thales’ urban rail signaling business. “Continuing our work from Stage 1, our local, made-in-Ontario SelTrac™ CBTC technology is a key part of the O-Train system, bringing to life the next phase of Ottawa’s long-term transit vision.”

DB Tests Artificial Intelligence-Equipped “Talking Head” If you need assistance at Berlin’s principal rail station, just ask the dummy in the corner. She’s pretty smart.

German Rail (DB) has begun testing a Socio Empathic Human-Machine Interaction (Semmi) customer service robot that, using artificial intelligence (AI), is able to answer customer queries. Based at Berlin Main Station, the robotic head is able to answer questions such as “Where are the lockers?” and “What is the fastest way to get to Alexanderplatz?” or “Where can I buy sushi in the station?” Semmi learns to interact with passengers and accumulates more knowledge through each test day. The system has already been tested at Frankfurt Airport and Tokyo Central Station with JR East.

“Semmi is proof of the potential of artificial intelligence for our customer service,” says Sabina Jeschke, DB’s board member for digitalization and technology. “With the increasing demand for the railways and their networking with other public transport, the need for information for our customers is increasing. With new technologies, we want railwayage.com

to supplement our information offerings with further digital services and thus take pressure off local staff, allowing them more time for more complex tasks and queries.”

DB has developed an artificially intelligent, cloud-based speech dialogue system that could also connect to an app or voice

assistant as well as the robotic head. In addition to travel information, Semmi also offers “small talk,” and recognizes and answers questions automatically in German and English. If required, “she” is also fluent in other languages, such as French, Polish, Spanish and Italian.

Update Canadian Pacific Opens Vancouver Automotive Compound

Canadian Pacific has opened its new Vancouver Automotive Compound (VAC), which has been located to handle motor vehicles made in North America for distribution in British Columbia, northern Washington State and parts of Alberta, as well as vehicles imported through the Port of Vancouver.

With surging motor vehicle volumes in the area, CP built the VAC on 19 acres of CP-owned land adjacent to its Vancouver Intermodal Terminal. The compound has

capacity for 36 multi-level autoracks and has nearly 1,200 vehicle bays.

“The compound’s strategic location creates efficiencies in CP’s automotive supply chain, allowing for Eastern Canadian car shipments to be quickly offloaded and for empty auto carriers to be reloaded and shipped back east,” CP said. “Our automotive supply chain provides automakers the opportunity to have their product to market up to two days faster by consolidating the

CP has deployed a new yard logistics system that automates yard processes and supports real-time inventory reporting “to give customers better visibility of their shipments,” CP said. “It also strengthens our damage prevention processes by enabling immediate uploading of inspection images.”

The new yard logistics system was introduced in Vancouver and is being rolled out to all CP automotive compounds.

“Vancouver is Canada’s primary automotive gateway for Asian imports and one of the largest destination markets,” said Vice President Sales and Marketing, Intermodal and Automotive Jonathan Wahba. “With capacity to accommodate 168,000 vehicles annually, the VAC will provide an important service to our customers.”

CP recently won awards from Toyota USA, Toyota Canada and American Honda, including the 2018 Toyota Logistics Quality Award.

Update Red-Over-Green for VIA Rail’s High-Frequency Corridor VIA Rail’s vision of a dedicated, highfrequency passenger railway from Quebec City to Toronto has secured the backing of the new Canada Infrastructure Bank. A C$55 million investment by the bank was announced June 25 for final pre-procurement planning, including the engineering of technical inter-operation with existing commuter lines in Montreal and Toronto.

Another C$16 million will be anteed up by Transport Canada. With its total $71 million, a “Joint Project Team” of the bank and VIA is to develop the scheme to the point where it can be pitched next year to private-sector investors, notably, the country’s public pension funds. The original cost estimates for the project range from C$4 billion, for a low-ball diesel-powered service, to C$6 billion for a more politically appealing electrified (overhead catenary) line drawing carbon-free energy from Quebec’s abundant hydroelectric capacity.

The announcement represents the government’s move from a yellow “approach” to a red-over-green “limited speed” endorsement of the project. It stops short of the greenover-red “clear” signal.

The dedicated line would run from Quebec City to Montreal along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, over former CP trackage now operated by Genesee & Wyoming’s Quebec Gatineau Railway. VIA already grandfathers overnight freight service by Canadian Pacific on its Smith Falls to Brockville subdivision in Ontario. Presumably, it could do the same for Quebec Gatineau’s customers.

From Montreal, the dedicated line would run north from Montreal Central Station to Ottawa, perhaps connecting somewhere with VIA Rail’s existing trackage from Coteau-du-Lac to Ottawa. Alternatively, it could simply follow Quebec Gatineau’s existing line all the way to Ottawa.

From the Canadian capital, the line would hopscotch along a patchwork of operational and abandoned rights-of-way to link up with Ontario’s Metrolinx GO Train commuter network, radiating from downtown Toronto’s Union Station, now being gloriously restored to its full Beaux-Arts beauty.

The most difficult integration will be with Montreal’s Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM), which is due to run its first driverless trains in 2021. With REM’s three-minute headways planned through Central Station’s

Mont Royal Tunnel, slotting in VIA’s heavier intercity passenger trains will be an engineering and operational challenge. The government announcement explicitly includes the design of “track work in Montreal’s Mont-Royal Tunnel to enable VIA Rail Canada’s heavy-rail trains to

operate on this segment of the REM light rail system.” VIA’s existing route over CN’s freight main line from Montreal to Toronto would surrender its intercity express status in favor of local trains scheduled to the needs of smaller communities, with Kingston, Ontario, as their hub.

Are Paper Barriers Ripe for STB Review?

I

f paper smothers rock, scissors cut paper and rock smashes scissors, short line railroads, controlling neither the paper nor rock, face a grim outcome in a quest to “cut up” so-called paper barriers erected by Class I railroads and sanctioned by the Surface Transportation Board (STB).

A paper barrier is a contractual provision attached to a Class I line sale or lease, limiting the ability and/or incentive of the short line purchaser or tenant to interchange traffic with competitors of that Class I. STB approval of such transactions exempts them from the antitrust laws that could otherwise define paper barriers as competition-reducing tying agreements in restraint of trade.

As short lines originate or terminate more than 20% of rail traffic, the matter rivals a related controversy as to whether shippers are entitled to two-railroad access at sole-served facilities. Whether the paper barrier issue is ripe for inclusion in that long-pending rulemaking (Ex Parte No. 711, Reciprocal Switching) depends on views of two new STB members and its second-term Republican chairman.

Paper barriers were spawned following 1980 partial economic deregulation that facilitated spin-offs by Class I railroads of low-density lines.

Former Burlington Northern (now part of BNSF) CEO Darius W. Gaskins Jr. said in 2008, “We developed a campaign to sell segments of our network to locally based entrepreneurs who could achieve lower costs than Class I railroads. In

short lines

every case, the new short lines were bound to our network through contracts, which kept the benefit of their feeder traffic for our system.”

That remains the case industry-wide.

Class I railroads defend paper barriers as voluntarily bargained in exchange (although never proven) for discounted sales or leases. The Association of American Railroads (AAR), representing Class I carriers, says discounts were “the only economic basis upon which a short line operator could afford to take over the line.”

In 1999, the A AR and American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRR A) negotiated a Rail Industry Agreement allowing a spinoff of a Class I to obtain access to a competitor of the Class I seller or lessor under narrow circumstances generally involving new traff ic.

But many short lines said Class I sellers or lessors still “resolutely refused” to make revisions to paper barriers under any circumstances.

Class I railroads understandably oppose regulators rewriting agreements made between consenting adults, especially given an increased number of short lines owned by sophisticated holding companies. Yet a drumbeat is that paper barriers impede shippers from gaining competitive routing that could translate to lower freight rates.

In 2007, after rejecting a recommendation to create a rebuttable presumption that a paper barrier in effect more than five years has succeeded in compensating the Class I for the alleged sale or lease discount, the STB said it would consider revising paper barrier restrictions—but only on a case-bycase basis.

Individual short lines, however, have been reluctant to seek regulatory relief, says Clark Hill law firm attorney John D. Heffner, who has negotiated many spinoff agreements. They cite dependence on Class I connections for adequate car supply and timely interchange, plus congressional lobbying assistance to secure periodic renewal of an oft-indanger investment tax credit.

A changing economic environment

Whether the STB takes action on them is of concern to short lines.” could bring the matter back to the STB should its new members—Democrat Martin J. Oberman and Republican Patrick J. Fuchs—pressure Republican Chairman Ann Begeman to re-examine paper barriers. In 2012, before becoming chairman, Begeman dissented from a majority decision to make paper barrier restrictions more transparent as part of the sale or lease application process.

Notable today are strong Class I profits expected to improve with implementation of Precision Scheduled Railroading; reduced train-crew size f lowing from Positive Train Control’s artificial intelligence; and a new wave of line sales and leases. With coal traffic fading and a slowing economy adversely affecting total carloads, short lines are more crucial to attracting new business—able to market their services more effectively were there fewer restrictions on their competitive options.

Short lines, says Heffner, “want as many Class I connections as possible.”

So do shippers. Whether the STB takes action is of signif icant concern to them, he says.

MIDYEAR REPORT

Rough Track Ahead For railroads, the first half of 2019 has been a perfect storm, literally and figuratively.

n simplistic terms, rail freight traffic isn’t doing too well. Why? It’s the economy. No, it’s apocalyptic floods and tornadoes. No, it’s (threatened or real) trade tariffs and embargoes. No, it’s Precision Scheduled Railroading hiccups (“the gift that keeps on giving,” says one astute observer). Actually, it’s all of the above, in varying degrees of severity.

In this day and age of punditry, celebrity and flash Twitter opinions where almost everyone—regardless of whether they actually know what they’re talking about—has an opinion, what are experienced “celebrity economists” saying?

Here’s a substantial one, Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Director of Intelligence of Quill Intelligence LLC, a one-year-old research and analytics firm that launched The Daily Feather, which in some economist circles “has already taken on cult status.”

DiMartino Booth spent nine years at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, where she served as Advisor to President Richard W. Fisher, and also worked for Credit Suisse, among others. She earned her BBA as a College of Business Scholar at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and holds an MBA in Finance and International Business from the University of Texas at Austin and an MS in Journalism from Columbia University. She’s considerably more measured and thoughtful than Jim Cramer of CNBC’s Mad Money: “The Cass Freight index is at its lowest levels since 2009 in anticipation of the economy slipping into contraction ...

The West Coast’s three mega ports are in contraction. Through the first 24 weeks of the year, U.S. railroad combined traffic is down 2.8%. This trend, moreover, has accelerated. In the week ended June 15, total traffic has sunk by 5.4% … Output growth continued to lose momentum in June. Manufacturers indicated only a fractional rise in production volumes in June, with the pace of expansion the slowest since the current phase of recovery began in mid-2016 … The U.S. Manufacturing Output Index is at 50.2 (50.7 in May), a 37-month low. Employment increased at a moderate pace in June. However, the latest rise in payrolls

MIDYEAR REPORT was the weakest recorded by the survey since April 2017. Anecdotal evidence suggested that heightened economic uncertainty had acted as a brake on staff hiring … Business optimism has also become more subdued, with sentiment about the year ahead down to a new series low amid intensifying worries about tariffs, geopolitical risk and slower economic growth in the months ahead.”

Wall Street Contributing Editor Jason Seidl, Managing Director at Cowen and Co., seems to agree (more from him in a bit): “Spot freight volumes continue to comprise more of total freight.” This suggests, says Contributing Editor and railroad marketing consultant Roy Blanchard, that “beneficial owners are reluctant to enter into long-term volume commitments lest demand fall off and they’re left short-rated … If the truckers are expecting volume to fall off, then the railroads are bound to be even worse off.

What a lovely way to start the last week of the second quarter.”

Freight car builders are feeling the squeeze. Trinity, Greenbrier and FreightCar America share prices have been in a downward trend. All three last month were trading well below their 200-day SMA (Simple Moving Average) and 50-day SMA while tracking the 20-day SMA “like a piece of tangent track,” observes Blanchard. “The reasons are two-fold. One, the economy is slowing, taking bulk commodities like industrial products, chemicals, coal, lumber and aggregates down year-over-year. Second, as the railroads get better at turning cars faster (via PSR, lessees need fewer cars to move the same—nevermind less— tonnage. Takeaway for feeder railroads: Stay close to your customers using leased equipment, staying ahead of their volume needs up and down.”

But remember, readers: The economy, like freight car building, is cyclical. It’s only a matter of time until the rollercoaster reaches the bottom of the really steep drop and begins its slow climb— or maybe continues speeding into one of those upside-down loops. Hang on, and scream if you must.

And by the way, pay no attention to the grandstanding, attack-dog politicians running the Let’s Legislate July 2019 // Railway Age 15

MIDYEAR REPORT Minimum Crew Consist Size Show. They’re just making sure their re-election campaign coffers stay filled.

JASON SEIDL: “VERY CONSTRUCTIVE VIEW” As I write this article, I’m in the midst of another delayed airline flight, and I cannot help but to think why can’t someone develop Precision Airlines? While we fully expect PSR to help the Class I railroads’ financial performance over the coming years (we expect BNSF to adopt PSR over the next year), there are issues that keep us up at night, despite our long-term bullish outlook.

The economy is on everyone’s minds these days, especially after having shown signs of weakness in 2Q. The uncertainty of a continued trade war with China has put us into uncharted territory as numerous shippers have pulled forward some of their freight ahead of the tariffs. This may have artificially inflated 4Q and early 1Q demand and conversely hurt demand in late 1Q, 2Q and perhaps even into the second half of 2019 as

customers work down inventories. The Fed has just signaled a potential cut in rates as it acknowledges a slowdown has occurred in the U.S. economy. If they do go ahead and reduce rates, it could help prop up economic growth. Taking a step back and looking at

We still see healthy signs in the macro picture with job growth, low unemployment and rising wages.

this from the proverbial 10,000-foot view, we still see healthy signs in the macro picture with job growth, low unemployment, rising wages, a recent rebound in monthly industrial production and relatively low inflation.

We will keep an eye on all of these aforementioned economic catalysts going forward, as they will undoubtedly have an outsized impact on the rail industry.

In addition to these macroeconomic and geopolitical fears, the wet weather has hindered the upcoming agricultural crop and could place a damper on future volumes after the harvest. We also remain concerned about coal. While no one expects domestic coal to grow over a longer period, we remain concerned with the near-term export outlook and the impact this could have on the rails. Indeed, recent quarters have produced better-than-expected results, creating difficult comparisons for the East Coast railroads. Couple this with declining API2 prices, and we could see high-margin export coal slide over the coming quarters.

Aside from the economy, other issues could impact rail volumes in the future. The most obvious threat is autonomous Class 8 trucks. While widespread adoption has not yet occurred on our nation’s highways— and is likely still years away—several pilot

MIDYEAR REPORT programs are running, and several states appear more than willing to embrace the idea or are at least open to testing its viability. Recently, Florida’s governor signed one of the most progressive autonomous vehicle bills in the country. The bill will allow autonomous cars to operate without a human acting as a back-up driver starting July 1.

The bill includes provisions to open deployment of Class 8 autonomous vehicles by the end of next year, according to news articles.

We hope that Class I rail executives see the progress that their peers in the trucking and automotive industries are making and understand that the rail industry must get in front of this long-term threat and help the rails achieve some form of autonomy ahead of the trucking industry. In our view, it is imperative for the rail industry to act with a sense of urgency with autonomy, to be on the offensive rather than the defensive.

Governmental regulation fears largely subsided once the Trump Administration took office. This is essentially still true today, but there are several new members

on the Surface Transportation Board (STB), and vacant seats that, depending on who fills them, could cloud this outlook. While Chairman Ann D. Begeman has been on the board since 2016, Patrick J. Fuchs (Vice Chairman) and Martin J. Oberman were both sworn into office in late January of this year. Chairman Begeman was less than thrilled with how shippers fared early on in CSX’s PSR implementation and will likely keep a close eye on “The Next Three” (recent PSR implementers Kansas City Southern, Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific), as they navigate the life cycle of their new operating model. If the recent Oversight Hearing on Demurrage and Accessorial Charges is any indication of the STB stance on PSR, they will be keeping a close eye on the group. That said, we remain confident that “The Next Three” will be able to avoid any major non-weather service disruptions given their very measured approach to implementation thus far.

We believe our fears are well-founded but would point out to the reader that we are paid

to worry about such things. Our view on the rail industry as an investment continues to remain very constructive. Three of the Class I railroads are in the middle of PSR implementation, an event that has historically proven to be quite beneficial, especially on the financial front. Pricing power remains intact, in our view, even with spot truck pricing’s elongated slide since last September. The industry is on track to implement Positive Train Control (PTC) before the December 2020 deadline, per the Association of American Railroads (and thanks to the diligence and experience of Federal Railroad Administrator Ron Batory—Editor)— we believe that full PTC-based automation could be an impetus for further automation in the future. The balance sheets of the Class I group remain in very good shape, leaving the group well-capitalized.

Hence, even if we get a slowdown in the economy, the railroads are well-equipped to handle such an event, and would likely hold up better than other investments in the transportation space.

friction management

Improving the

Steel-on-Steel

Interface How friction management optimizes the wheel/rail interface.

F

By David C. Lester, Managing Editor, Railway Track & Structures

riction management is just one of the many challenges that maintenance-of-way officials have to contend with daily.

Proper friction management improves wheel/rail interaction, reduces noise, saves fuel and extends rail and wheel service life.

The crucial part of managing friction is the use of lubricants or friction modifiers.

Lubrication is used to minimize lateralforce friction between the wheel flange and the gauge face; top-of-rail (TOR) friction modifiers are used to control forces generated between the wheel tread and the top of the rail, particularly on the low rail in curves. Specially formulated lubricants are used on the gauge face of the rail, while TOR friction management products come in several forms.

railwayage.com

Various types of wayside equipment apply both gauge face and top-of-rail products. Regardless of the type of system used, lubricant must be applied to the rails at or behind trailing locomotives to prevent loss of adhesion of the locomotive wheels on the rails. Also, precise amounts of lubricants are needed to ensure that lateral and tractive forces will not cause premature wear or operating problems. For example, if the lateral force on the track exceeds the vertical force, this can create wheel climb, most likely resulting in a derailment.

According to L.B. Foster Company (installation pictured, above), friction management has become an accepted best practice in the global heavy-haul market. L.B. Foster’s John Cotter, General Manager, North America, points out that benefits of an effective friction

management program accumulate as higher program uptime is achieved: “For example, one study of actual industry practice suggests that at 85% system uptime, every $1.00 that is spent on a friction management program returns $3.80 in benefits. But our customers face many potential challenges in achieving that high effective program uptime.

Those challenges include maintenance and management of large numbers of trackside units, limited track time, as well as overall equipment reliability.

So, L.B. Foster has concentrated efforts toward working on ways to increase the service life of critical equipment as well as focus on additional equipment and consumable functionality that can help mitigate program downtime and reduce our customer’s total cost of ownership.”

friction management Loram® provides three kinds of TOR friction modifiers.

Vendors offer different types of friction modifier “mixes” to meet specific customer needs. For example, Loram® provides three kinds of TOR friction modifiers. Their product labeled TOR-WB (water-based) is a 100% water-based organic friction modifier. It also offers a product labeled TOR-H2OX, which is a hybrid of water-based and synthetic modifiers. And, Loram® also offers TORXtend®, a synthetic friction modifier.

When choosing a given modifier, knowing the “carry distance” (i.e., the distance from the point of application to the end of the friction modifier’s spread) is essential to determining how often material will need to be applied from locomotive-mounted equipment, or the distance between wayside application equipment. The Loram® products mentioned above, for example, have the following carry distances: TOR-WB, up to approximately four miles, TOR-H2OX, between four and six miles, and TORXtend®, up to six miles.

Rounding out the group of Loram® friction management products is gauge face grease called EcoCurve Heavy Haul Grease.

This product adheres well to the gauge face even under harsh conditions and heavy traffic, which reduces runoff into the soil.

Vendors offer different types of friction modifier “mixes” to meet specific customer needs.

Further, this product is made with 75-90% renewable material and does not contain heavy metals or toxic additives.

Whitmore Rail offers a TOR friction modifier, TOR Armor, good for heavyhaul freights and lateral force reduction on curves. It also mitigates noise and reduces the onset of corrugation on the low rail in the curves on transit and light rail systems. Whitmore points out that this friction modifier does not dry hard, causing clogging issues in the application bars.

During the past several years, MPL Innovations has focused on providing a more environmentally friendly option by developing a fully biodegradable and renewable

stick. To accomplish this, MPL worked closely with the College of Engineering at Kansas State University to develop and test more than 200 different biopolymer formulations using plastics from manufacturers around the world. In addition to the plastics, oils were also investigated to determine which renewable bio-based oil provided the best benefits. The result of this effort is the NatureBlend formulation, which was developed and introduced to the rail industry in the form of injection molded interlocking sticks.

The MPL locomotive-mounted applicator applies lubricant directly to the flange of the wheel at all times. This product is fed into the wheel using a constant force spring so that any time the locomotive is moving, product is being applied to the wheels and conditioning the rail. MPL’s gauge face technology has been used now for at least two decades, and the TOR product is ready for testing at a candidate railroad after extensive testing at TTCI. The gauge face solid stick material uses MPL’s patented NatureBlend formulation of biodegradable and renewable plastics as binders and vegetable oil to help provide lubrication, in addition to various extreme pressure additives.

MPL’s stick product for top of rail is called TopStick, which also uses railwayage.com

While product choices are critical to proper rail friction management, the selection of application equipment is equally

important. Lubricant can be applied by “stick lube� technology such as the MPL applicators mentioned above, or via wayside equipment. Wayside applicators are available in several different forms For example, Whitmore offers electric and mechanical friction management applicators. Their mechanical units have a small cylindrical reservoir that comes in various sizes and are used primarily

by industrial tracks and short lines where rail traffic is only one or two trains a day.

This applicator works by a spring-backed piston that delivers constant pressure to the rail pumps mounted on the rail. The rail pump is a valve-type mechanism that has a plunger the train wheel depresses, allowing grease to flow to the applicator bars mounted on the rail.

The electric units, called Accutrack, are available with reservoir sizes of 200, 400 and 800 pounds. The 800- and 400-pound units are used mostly on Class I and short line freight railroads where available space along the right-of-way is not an issue. The 200-pound unit is aimed toward transit systems where there is limited space to place a wayside unit. Applicator units are available with different power inputs, including solar, AC, wind turbine or a combination of solar and wind for charging the 12-volt power source the unit relies on to operate. The Accutrack unit can accommodate a TPR bar for applying friction modifier, and these units are also

lstom Transportation is building the next generation of high-speed trainsets for Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor Acela Express service. The new trainsets, which will replace the existing equipment that has been in service for 20 years, are scheduled to enter service sometime in 2021 between Washington, D.C. and Boston.

Amtrak says that this equipment will provide a smoother and more comfortable ride than what it is replacing. Each trainset will have 378 seats, with such amenities as personal power outlets, USB ports and adjustable reading lights. There will be an onboard information system providing real-time information such as location, train speed and conductor announcements.

Part of the full ADA accessibility will be spacious restrooms with a 60-inch-diameter turning radius to accommodate people in wheelchairs. Amtrak will be implementing an advance seat reservation system.

Food service is described as “contemporary, offering easy access and greater selection.”

Twenty-eight of these trainsets are under construction. Articulated and equipped with active tilt, they are much lighter than the current equipment, with 17-metric-ton axle loads. The power cars are constructed of carbon steel; the coaches of aluminum.

The trainsets meet FRA Tier III Passenger Equipment Safety Standards; Standards for Alternative Compliance and High-Speed Trainsets. The passenger coaches feature OVI (Occupied Volume Integrity) construction, whereby energy travels through the carbody structure.

Here is a close look at this equipment under construction at Alstom’s Hornell, N.Y., facility.

The trainsets are being built to Federal Railroad Administration Tier III crashworthiness standards, with CEM (Crash Energy Management) technology. The passenger coaches feature OVI (Occupied Volume Integrity) construction.

TTCI R&D

TESTING High-Performance

Wheels Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) is evaluating 14 of the latest high-performance wheel steels from 11 manufacturers around the world.

TCI’s current high-performance wheel (HPW) steel test is designated HPW2 as it follows the first highperformance wheel test (HPW1) that began in 2009 and continues in revenue service.

As in HPW1, HPW2 follows the same testing sequence, beginning with laboratory and on-track testing at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC), then continuing to revenue service testing. The objective of the second test is to help refine the Association of American Railroads (AAR) requirements for wheels, determining properties that provide improved life and damage resistance.

In HPW2, wheels first were evaluated 30 Railway Age // July 2019

for chemical composition, tensile properties, fracture toughness, microcleanliness and microstructure. The fracture toughness testing was conducted at room temperature, while the tensile testing was performed at room temperature and 1,000°F. The results of these mechanical tests were good, but several wheels did not meet the minimum AAR requirements for tensile strength or yield strength. The microcleanliness test measures the percentage of voids and oxides in the steel, and was used as a relative comparison of the 14 HPW2 steels.

It was performed at multiple planes below the tread surface to determine whether the microcleanliness varied with depth.

The test depths ranged from about 0.08

inch to 0.80 inch, in approximately 0.04inch increments. Most of the steels showed only minor variation across this range, but two had higher values and more variation. Microstructure of 13 HPW2 steels was fully pearlitic, while the remaining steel contained a mixture of bainite and pearlite.

On-track testing is being performed at TTC’s Facility for Accelerated Service Testing (FAST), a 2.7-mile test loop with 5- and 6-degree curves and some tangent track. The wheels have accumulated an average of 28,000 miles. Routine visual, profile and ultrasonic inspections are performed on the test wheels. Ultrasonic testing found four wheelsets containing subsurface cracks, with no shells or other railwayage.com

TTCI R&D anomalies. These wheelsets were removed and are being evaluated for subsurface crack initiation, crack geometry and metallurgical changes in the material.

Wheel wear measurements show variation of flange height wear among different wheel steels. These correlate roughly to the hardness and tensile strength values; wheels with higher hardness generally showed less wear. Surface condition of the wheels varies, with many containing small pits and minor surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue (RCF) cracks. Some wheels show more such surface conditions than others, but none have been removed for high impact or shelling.

The HPW2 revenue service test began Figure 1: Normalized flange height wear of HPW2 wheels being tested at this year on a railroad in the western U.S. Transportation Technology Center.

A nEW GENERATION

OF RAILROADERS In its eighth year, Penn State Altoona’s Bachelor of Science degree program in Rail Transportation Engineering remains the only one of its kind in the country.

H

By Marissa Rea Carney, Penn State Altoona

aving met the standards set by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in goals, objectives and educational outcomes, students graduating from Penn State Altoona’s Bachelor of Science degree program in Rail Transportation Engineering (RTE) program are prepared and eligible to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, the first step toward becoming a licensed professional engineer.

It’s not difficult to understand why the RTE program has become a success. It provides in-depth teaching and hands-on course work by experienced faculty who have worked in the rail industry and continue to 32 Railway Age // July 2019

conduct research in the field. The program also offers immersive learning and out-ofthe-classroom opportunities, plus support from an active advisory board, freight and passenger railroad, suppliers, and consulting companies. Finally, the 100% job placement rate is a big draw for students.

Laying the Program Tracks Launched in 2011, the RTE degree prepares undergraduate students for the railway industry as engineering designers, managers and professionals in various aspects of the railway industry, including civil engineering, mechanical and signal operations, railroad track design and maintenance, railway construction management, and railcar and

locomotive design and maintenance.

The program grew out of a need to fill vacancies in the industry from managers and upper-level employees retiring over the past decade. Railroads, consulting companies and even state legislators approached Penn State Altoona with the idea of building this program and beginning to supply the workforce development gap with engineering professionals in the railroad industry.

An Advisory Board was created, comprised of diverse high-level professionals from various sectors of the railroad industry. “They’ve been crucial to the development and growth of the program by guiding the curriculum and providing in-kind support and funding,” says Bryan railwayage.com

education Schlake, instructor in RTE. “We know that a rail-specific engineering program will generate graduates who meet the requirements of today’s railroad industry,” adds Gerhard Thelen, former Norfolk Southern Vice President Operations Planning and Support. “This program provides the basic and advanced skills and education for a successful lifetime career and is the source of tomorrow’s leaders.”

Building on a mathematical and engineering foundation, students also have numerous opportunities for hands-on experience in labs, field instruction and research.

Living Laboratory Altoona, rich in railroad history, is the perfect home for the RTE program. The city was founded in 1848 by the Pennsylvania Railroad as a hub for its expanding railroad empire and center of its research and testing activities. Today, Altoona is a major center on the Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line.

The Juniata Locomotive Shop, originally built by the PRR, is the railroad’s largest repair and maintenance facility. Amtrak trains serve Altoona daily via its Pennsylvanian service.

“We have a living railway laboratory of sorts here with a major Class I railroad coming through town that we can see from our classroom space and our offices,” says Schlake. “There are also multiple short line railroads we partner with for research and various lab exercises.”

Students get their hands dirty with in-depth, practical, hands-on courses called practica that cover railroad track infrastructure, railcars and locomotives, and railway transportation and network operations. Students in the Railroad Mechanical Practicum course measure freight car loads at Norfolk Southern’s Rose Yard using manual tools and the laser-based SafeLoad© tool. In this course, students also learn about the science and practice of welding using a virtual welder trainer and actual MIG and stick welding machines. In the Railroad Track Location, Construction and Maintenance course, they measure track curvature and gradient on track provided by the Everett Railroad Company. Finally, in the Operations Practicum course, students learn to design railway networks and measure network railwayage.com

capacity using Rail Traffic Controller©, a dispatch simulation software from Berkeley Simulation Software, LLC. Even within the classrooms, students are using cutting-edge equipment that helps keep them on the forefront of the rail industry’s needs.

Most recently, an in-kind gift from PS Technology (PST) was added to the lab space. The gift is a 12-month equipment lease of a Positive Train Control (PTC) Prime Simulator to support the RTE program’s Teaching Railway Applications through Immersive learning and Network Simulation (TRAINS) laboratory. The simulator helps students more thoroughly understand the real-world implications and requirements of PTC utilization. It includes self-guided training and interactive locomotive simulations based on specific training scenarios that expose students to the engineer-operations focus of Federal Railroad Administration PTC requirements.

The system automatically instructs, scores and records student training results.

In 2017, RTE was awarded a $15,000 education grant from the NRC to purchase 360-degree virtual reality equipment. This laid the groundwork for the launch of what is now the TRAINS lab, the first university-based Virtual Education Lab in the railway industry.

Currently, the TRAINS lab has the locomotive simulator from PST, the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive systems, Oculus Go and Google Daydream headsets, and a Samsung Gear VR platform. The lab also includes

a virtual welder trainer for students to practice shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding in the Railroad Mechanical Practicum course.

There are more plans in the works for the TRAINS lab, including implementation of simulated signal systems equipment and advanced track modeling software.

Besides course work and a major-specific capstone project in their senior year, students have a multitude of supplemental learning at their fingertips. They can join the Penn State Altoona chapter of AREMA. This allows them to connect with other engineering students across the country and network with industry professionals through seminars, speakers and field trips. One such trip students experienced was a tour of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor from Baltimore to New York City on one of Amtrak’s track geometry cars.

The AREMA Annual Conference and the Joint Rail Conference each offer opportunities for students to learn about the latest developments in rail transportation and network with professionals in the industry. The Railroad Industry Exchange (RRIX) Conference, sponsored by Penn State Altoona and first held on campus in 2018, also provides similar opportunities. The Women in Engineering Design (WE-Design) Competition sponsored by Norfolk Southern and engineering-business case competitions sponsored by NS and Curry Rail Services have also allowed students to test their engineering skills and win scholarship money.

Infinity Loop

Loop Without LIMITS HDR’s Infinity Loop resolves unit train facility capacity limitations.

T

By Bruce E. Kelly, Contributing Editor

he American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) recently presented its Engineering Excellence Grand Award to Omaha-based HDR, Inc., for its patent-pending Infinity Loop, a revolutionary track design for staging and processing unit trains more efficiently through loading and unloading terminals.

The brainchild of HDR freight rail engineers Kurt Reichelt (Senior Project Manager & Vice President, Portland, Ore.) and Paul Weber (Rail Project Manager, Spokane, Wash.), the Infinity Loop resolves several capacity limitations of existing unit train loop facilities. As HDR’s description of the loop explains, in the case of conventional loop tracks, “The throat area—where trains enter and exit—clogs because trains arriving, departing or being processed cross the same tracks. The only solution has been to increase the facility size—until now.”

Reichelt and Weber, who are familiar

34 Railway Age // July 2019

with the operational needs and constraints of railroads and terminals, found the answer. “Our team wrapped a staging yard around a balloon loop track,” says Reichelt.

“By wrapping the staging tracks—each capable of holding a unit train—around the balloon, the footprint was minimized and the layout resembled an infinity symbol, inspiring the design name.”

The result? “The combined staging tracks and interior balloon form a design that allows multiple trains to enter their facility without conflicting with other unit trains loading and unloading,” says Reichelt.

Additionally, the Infinity Loop minimizes required site property acquisition and enables productive use of space that otherwise goes unused inside of conventional loop track layouts.

In fact, the multi-tracked Infinity Loop can accommodate a wide range of shippers within one site, offering trackage for unit trains handling dry bulk or liquid bulk

commodities, as well as intermodal trains.

Unlike many unit train facilities, the Infinity Loop allows the same staging yard tracks to be used for staging both arriving trains and trains that have already been processed and are soon to depart.

“As we looked at existing unit train facilities, we found that often the staging tracks for either arrivals or departures were very under-utilized, and we realized it would be a big benefit to allow the same tracks to be used for both arrivals and departures,” says Weber. This dual functionality can result in eliminating miles of redundant staging yard trackage, potentially shaving millions of dollars off the construction cost of a unit train facility. The Infinity Loop also allows a train the option of either directly departing the facility after completion of processing, or returning to the staging yard—all with the flexibility of handling bad-order cars, make-up cars and air tests, etc., within the facility without interfering with loading/ railwayage.com

Infinity Loop unloading operations or main line traffic.

In addition to unit train capabilities, the Infinity Loop can be configured to have fully independent lead tracks accessing the interior of the loop, where additional loose commodity/manifest industries can be built without conflicting with rail operations through the unit train facility. HDR was issued a patent pending for the design in late 2018 (U.S. Patent Application for Railway Facility with High Throughput Loop Track; US2018/0257670 A1). The patent application describes other features, such as grade crossings to access the interior lobes of the loop that are not blocked by trains being processed, capability for direct arrival (as well as departure features), multiple balloons and intermodal layouts.

The first Infinity Loop facility is currently under construction in North Vancouver, B.C., where Canadian grain company G3 is building a brand-new Pacific Coast export terminal. Scheduled for completion in 2020, G3 Terminal Vancouver will accommodate three trains of up to 150 cars each. G3 has

also opened new grain loading facilities in Alberta and Saskatchewan, with more to be added this year and next. G3 says, “HDR’s Infinity Loop is part of a design that made G3 Terminal Vancouver possible in a harbor area where there’s very little acreage left for

Why Not Provide for Adequate Revenues?

There is a real danger that private management of railways will not be successful after the roads are returned to their owners, because many leading members of Congress do not appreciate the necessity for making the specific requirement that rates must be made adequate and for providing for such administration of the regulatory laws as will give effect to this requirement.

ocused Technology Solutions has introduced the portable Third Rail Cover Board. Designed to protect track workers from exposure to a live third rail, it takes seconds to install and does not require transit power personnel.

Agencies do track repairs in two methods, with a live third rail and when the third rail is not live. In both cases, the third rail is expected to be live in either situation. The reason?

The third rail can be energized without anyone knowing.

Some agencies use no protection on the third rail during repairs.

Other agencies use a third rail mat that is extremely heavy, bulky and requires several power-certified personnel to install and take down.

Work is delayed, the mats come in several sizes, are extremely heavy, can violate Rule 22 and cause workers to violate the adjacent envelope.

Focused Technology Solutions believes the lightweight and stackable Third Rail Cover Board is a safer alternative solution that will improve productivity.

Focused Technology Solutions, a Marmon/Berkshire Hathaway Company, provides state-of-the-art technology that improves productivity, safety and acquisition of data in realtime in the expanding rail transportation market.

Financial Edge

Leasing Market Approaching “New Normal”

T

he longsta nding a nd wel lregarded Editor-in-Chief of Railway Age , Wi l lia m C. Va ntuono, recent ly had t he dubious honor of rescuing t he Leasing a nd Equipment Fina nce pa nel at t he Ra i l Insig hts Conference, held last mont h at t he Union Leag ue Club of Chicago.

Your erstwhile correspondent having been inexcusably delayed by the good people at United Airlines, Vantuono was forced to lead the panel in my stead. The panel consisted of Railcar Leasing Specialist Todd Kahn, Residco Managing Director Greg Schmid and Railroad Appraisal Associates President Patrick Mazzanti.

Overall, the mood from the panelists was one of worry about the direction of the railcar market, especially when it comes to new-car builds. Specifically, Mazzanti noted to the audience that, “as an industry, we need to slow down the manufacturing pace of new cars, as right now there are just too many cars in the system.”

Kahn noted that, from a railcar lessor’s perspective, the constant inf lux of new cars continues to depress returns on investment when purchasing a new car by lowering lease rates. All panelists agreed that the gravity of the situation and its impacts were additionally compounded by the current cost of new cars.

When asked if the industry could absorb all of the new cars in the backlog, especially tank railcars, Mazzanti noted that, over time, regulations may mean that the tank cars being built are needed in the f leet, but until then, the cars being added to the f leet are likely to just bring down lease rates. He is watching second-quarter build numbers to see if the new-car building trend is reversing.

In looking at the leased car market, Schmid led the discussion on markets that are weak today by discussing how the market for sand cars is weak and unlikely to change without some major shift in perspective by oil and E&P (exploration and production) companies

40 Railway Age // July 2019

about the use of less-expensive local brown sand. Kahn noted that expansion in the Permian basin and other non-Bakken locations such as Utah and New Mexico is leading E&P companies to source sand from locations other than in the Wisconsin and Illinois basins (the primary location for Northern White Sand). All parties agreed that the existing inventory of sand cars is more likely to pressure rates down further before there is a recovery.

In looking at other segments of the marketplace, the panel also expressed caution about covered hoppers for moving grain. That market remains oversupplied in all segments, yet new cars continue to be built by investors and railroads. Mazzanti noted that the values of these cars cannot stay stable if we continue to add more cars w ithout cascading out some of the older cars. Unfortunately, as Schmid noted, scrap rates are low, y ielding less than $ 6,000 per car for a t y pical 4,750cf covered hopper. Car ow ners are not incentivized to move cars to the scrap yard.

When asked about the impact of a challenging harvest on grain car rental rates, Schmid and Kahn noted that a smaller harvest doesn’t necessarily mean bad things for rail. It’s really how grain is transported in North America.

To improve rates in this market, more grain needs to move by rail than by truck and barge.

When asked about secondary market sales prices of railcars, the panelists universally indicated that they felt prices were decreasing from the lofty perches of 2018. That could indicate that buyers are getting worried about being able to redeploy these railcars at rates needed to deliver reasonable returns.

However, none of the panelists would say that they felt that the marketplace had begun to rationalize, and that the values currently being paid for cars on lease was representative of the car’s true fair market value. As Mazzanti noted, it is difficult to see how investors can pay some prices for cars they are buying and

companies invested in railcars must accept making less money.” ever expect to see a positive return on that investment.

Schmid and Mazzanti discussed the market for locomotives. As the Class I railroads continue to implement PSR strategies, the lease market has show n some wea kness. That trend is expected to continue in the short to intermediate term. The panel also discussed that the cost of a new Tier 4 locomotive (estimated at $3- $4 million per unit) seems prohibitive when such a large inventor y of 10- to 15-year-old locomotives are sitting in storage. Those are units that can operate in railroad revenue ser vice and that meet EPA guidelines. It w ill be dif f icult to rationalize new orders.

Kahn closed by noting that the leasing market may be headed into what should be a “new normal,” where returns are lower, and companies that are invested in railcars have to accept a reality where they are making less money on the assets they own and buy.

Another great panel at Rail Insights, filled with valuable information and market vision.
