John Conlow, Amtrak's Senior Director for NEC Operations Planning will be presenting to the Annual Meeting of NJ-ARP on 26th October. He will give a Powerpoint presentation on Gateway, as well as verbal updates on Amtrak's involvement with FRA's NEC Futures project, and the arrangements between Amtrak and 19 states to preserve the operation of long-distance trains with route length of 750 miles or less.

The Meeting is a Luncheon Meeting followed by a visit to the newly inaugurated (by then) Pennsauken Transit Center station connecting the RiverLINE DLRT system with the NJT Philadelphia - Atlantic City Rail Service.

Registration Fee of $35 ($40 for non-members) at the door includes lunch with a choice of entree, salad, dessert and soft drinks. Bar available for individually paid drinks. Paid up pre-registration rate is $30 members, $35 non-members)

Non-members who join as member at any level (minimum $20 general and $10 for student/senior) will get a $5 discount on the membership.

Please send email to [email protected] if you plan to attend to help with headcount. Walk ins are welcome but cost $5 more than for pre-registered attendees.

Official invite can be found at http://www.nj-arp.org/Assets/2013%20invite%20promo%20letter.indd.pdf
 
If anyone makes it there (it's too far a drive for me :) ), someone should ask him when we're going to see the long-distance trains running at 125 mph on the NEC, which is definitely a NEC Operations Planning question. Of course, that requires the new Viewliners...
 
PLEASE report on the Gateway PDF (and attach a link if possible)

AND

Ask him questions regarding Penn Station South and funding mechanisms, etc!
 
I'd be curious to hear what the plans are with respect to equipment going forward on the NEC (and/or extended NEC) as far as Midwest Amfleets and Horizons getting moved around. A follow-on to that question is whether there are any plans to alter frequencies in the next few years (i.e. prior to any Acela II introductions), and/or how yard capacity is looking at WAS and NYS for overnight storage of equipment.
 
Jishnu received an award at the meeting. Congratulations Jis!!! :) :)
 
He most certainly did!
