If you close the street and say buses only and residents of the area. You then
have to pay someone to man the road block.

   Hi
   For a time span of 20min till everyone is cleared out. I don't think it is a
   big deal to residents. They can still park. As long as the traffic lane is
   free for buses, that is all that counts.

   As it is, the residents have to contend with stop and go traffic for over an
   hour. I am sure they would rather have everything cleared in 30min by a
   transit only route.

Choo-Choo Trains on Energy Crunch
By Erik Baard

2:00 a.m. July 3, 2002 PDT

Sierra Railroad thinks it can (It knows it can! It knows it can!) make
electricity to meet California's peak summer demands. The short-touring and
freight line, based in Oakdale, has 48 diesel locomotive engines in a rail
yard waiting to produce 100 megawatts of electricity for use on the power
grid.

Moreover, the company is going to fuel them with 100-percent biodiesel, a
cleaner-burning vegetable oil equivalent of the familiar petroleum product.

The California Consumer Power and Conservation Financing Authority has
signed on to buy the locomotive project's electrical output for five years
as part of the agency's plan to buy 250 megawatts of environmentally benign,
or "green," electricity per year.

"A typical modern locomotive is just a rolling generator," said Sierra
Railroad chief executive Mike Hart, whose company is the oldest independent
railroad in California, perhaps best known to steampunk aficionados for
providing the time traveling 19th century locomotive to the movie, Back to
the Future III.
In the 1982 GE diesel engines central to Sierra Railroad's PowerTrainUSA
project, electricity produced by the engine is normally sent to wheel motors
and converted into 3,000 horsepower of mechanical strength. But these
locomotives will run in place, instead pumping 2.1 megawatts each onto the
grid for 1,000 hours per year when electricity demand is exceptionally high.
The total output will be enough to supply 100,000 homes, though it will be
spread thinly among all users of the grid.

For the moment, however, PowerTrainUSA sits idle in all senses.
While regulators have approved most aspects of Hart's plan, California
currently has a short-term energy glut due to recent power plant building to
compensate for shortages and blackouts in summers past. "We've been standing
by since last August last year, month by month, ready to go. We're just
waiting for the governor's approval," Hart says.

PowerTrainUSA does have one key advantage: mobility. Being a cluster of
locomotives, after all, this power plant can chug over to where it's needed.
Often the biggest hurdle electrical system operators face isn't just making
enough electricity, but moving it from producers to users. Localized demand
spikes, power-plant failures and downed transmission lines can create
bottlenecks on the grid.

PowerTrainUSA has ABB solid-state inverters (to turn direct current into
marketable 60-Hz alternating current) loaded onto 12 former Long Island
Railroad commuter coaches. When PowerTrainUSA arrives at its destination,
all it needs is to hook up to a transformer to match the grid's voltage
specifications. In some ways, the concept isn't new -- as an island city,
New York does much the same with generator barges.

Another goal of PowerTrainUSA is to demonstrate that locomotive engines can
operate well using alternative fuels like biodiesel, which is derived mostly
from soy oil in the United States, but can also be made from other vegetable
oils, animal fat and discarded cooking grease.

PowerTrainUSA is buying its fuel from World Energy Alternatives, a
Massachusetts company that's the nation's largest biodiesel manufacturer.

Producing biodiesel is a relatively simple process. The triglyceride oil
molecule that is the basis of biodiesel is shaped like a trident. Its base
is glycerin and the three prongs are long chains of fatty acids, which can
be broken away by a chemical reaction with alcohols like methanol or
ethanol. Those fatty acids -- primarily 16 to 18 carbon atoms strung in a
line -- have a viscosity and power density similar to petrodiesel but with
greater lubricity.

Biodiesel burns cleaner because it contains oxygen (petroleum products must
be oxygenated artificially) and is also more biodegradable; and it is safer
to handle and transport because it is less likely to ignite than other
fuels.

Biodiesel reduces particulate matter by 40 percent, and the remaining
particulate matter that shows up in emissions tests is primarily nontoxic
and biodegradable unburned fuel. Carbon monoxide is down 44 percent compared
with petroleum diesel and unburned hydrocarbons are cut 68 percent.

Most importantly for the PowerTrainUSA effort, as a no-sulfur fuel,
biodiesel meets the Environmental Protection Agency's 2006 fuel requirements
and won't clog up equipment to remove smog causing nitrogen oxide. Carbon
dioxide is also reduced 80 percent compared with conventional petroleum. It
also happens to smell like French fries when combusted.

"We've been very satisfied with biodiesel. There's been no negative side at
all," Hart says. But biodiesel is pricey, Hart says. "It can cost us $3 a
gallon. Then again, we were working for a number of years on a concept to
reduce pollution by using natural gas, but gas prices spiked and spooked us
off." Hart is also exploring buying biodiesel made from canola oil, which
might be a more suitable crop for California farmers.

Because the locomotives burning biodiesel will be operating in place but at
maximum capacity with output read by sensitive electrical meters, Sierra
Railroad says, engineers will have ideal conditions under which to study
emissions, power production, engine wear and other issues of concern with a
new fuel.

The Orion 7 is back in service.  I saw it myself this morning (and nearly
rode on it) at Eglinton West station on 32B as was usual for it previously.

Time to get out the Kodak MAX, kids!

For those who have no idea what the Orion 7 is, it's another half low-floor
half high-floor bus available in two flavors: CNG and Electric Hybrid.

Here are some pics and info about the Orion 7 TTC demonstrator, as well as
other demonstrators:

http://gtabus.natransit.com/misc/misc.html

About TTC's Hybrid Orion 7 test bus (from the link above):

The hybrid test bus runs out of Queensway with fleet number #1043. The bus
gained more labels than few days ago (above pictures), "hybrid electric bus"
on the sides as well as "BAE Systems" on the back. #1043 is usually to be
seen on 32B Eglinton West and 44 Kipling South. Her spectacular "Orion VII"
livery is very attractive to riders and other road users. The traction motor
provides very sufficient power to the bus. Lack of a side dest. sign, dim
"next stop" light and the absent of the bell cords (although there are
clearly labelled yellow stop request tapes between every window) are
problems during the operation. The bus is tested to see if the hybrid
technology is something for the TTC to consider in future bus procurement.

This is not the first time locomotives have been used to provide stationary
power. During the 1998 ice storm, a CN M-420 was brought into Boucherville,
Quebec, near Montreal, to provide power. The fuel is certainly a novelty,
though.

From what I heard, you were probably behind a disabled streetcar (no power)
at Parliament and Dundas.  They pushed it out of the way eventually.  Things
were complicated by a disabled subway at Woodbine at the same time which
caused a bit of a delay in getting the coupled up streetcars going as they
wanted a radio channel to do the move but were initially denied it.  With
the diversion for the Don Valley beidge construction, any problems in the
Parliament/Dundas/Broadview areas cause headaches for a few different
routes - 501, 502, 503, 504, 505 - as they are all on Dundas at some point
there.

Currently, Spadina cars run out of Russell.  However, they used to operate out
of Roncesvalles.  With this in mind, is it a good idea for the TTC to
experiment by operating the Spadina car out of both carhouses?  Would this
improve service on the line?  The distance from Russell to Spadina is longer
than from Roncesvalles.  Also, this summer would have been the perfect time to
do this, especially with the construction that is taking place around the Don
Bridge area.  When entering or leaving service, the Spadina car has divert
around the construction area by using King, Parliament, Dundas, Broadview, and
Queen or vice versa.

using the west to north curve at Dundas and Spadina. Running back to the car
house most cars go via King, but some use Queen st. Why they do that I don't
know, we just check the run guides and go where are told!

Changing the carhouse will have no effect on how the Spadina line operates.
As long as each operator has sufficient time to go from one end the line to
the other, the route will operate well.

When the route was switched from Roncesvalles to Russell last year, 5 - 7
minutes was added to the run-in and run-out times.  This change relived a
lot of pressure on the maintenance staff at Ronce, as the carhouse was
overcrowded with vehicles.  The additional cost of running in and out of
service is to be more than offset but greater efficiencies at the carhouses.

Southbound 510 cars leave service via Adelaide, Charlotte and King, etc to
Russell.  Northbound cars (from Queens Quay loop or Union Station) run north
on Spadina and east on Queen.  Apparently it is easier to make the north to
east turn at Queen rather than King.

I heard that the HSR has committed to buying no more diesel buses.
Apparently the New Flyer artics are not available as CNG's (due to
some problem with design of the bus) and they ended up deciding to
fix up the old GM artics to get a few more years use.

The 1997 Mississauga low floor artics are starting to look and run
rough already.  Putting those things into use in Toronto on long,
hilly routes jammed full of passengers would likely destroy them in
less than ten years.

Apparently not; this is discussed as an urban legend at
http://www.tafkac.org/politics/interstates_and_airstrips.html
and http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/airstrip.htm (the latter site,
www.snopes.com, is the definitive place to look for all those is-it-
really-true questions).

The "defence" component of the Interstate system was to speed the
deployment of equipment, materiel and troops via vehicles. (That's
why it's a HIGHWAY system. If they'd wanted runways, they would have
built an AIRPORT system. But now I'm being snarky.)

http://www.ihoz.com/interstates.html is a great site with information
on the Interstates.

i'm just wondering why toronto doesn't use double-ended articulated subway
cars.
when i talk to subway operators they always complain about going from the
second last car to the last car just before the terminus of the run.
if the ttc used double-ended articulated subway cars the guard would just
walk to the other end of his/her car to do the same procedure.
this design would also give more standee room because of the articulated
joint.  i got this idea from new york where they had "double articulated
cars" until they were scrapped.  if anyone has any feedback or news don't

First, 5362 is a H1 train, which was retired a couple of years ago.

I also rode a H4 train on the Bloor-Danforth line around 11 p.m. last night. I
caught the train at Yonge station, going westbound.  If my memory is correct,
the six H4 trains that I encountered last night were
5632,5633,5656,5657,5594,5595.

Normally around that time of day, the only train types that usually operate on
the BD line are the H6 and T1's.  However, in the past year, I have ocasionally
seen the odd H4 train on the BD line late at night.

From this, I have several questions to ask:

1. Are the H4 trains usually restricted to rush hour use only?
2. How long will the H4 trains be in service?  Does the TTC plan to retire them
or keep them just in case if some of the newer trains (ie. H5,H6,T1) break down?

Thank you.

Michael T.

Having subway cars arranged in married pairs means the trains are
effectively double ended.   Why are they not articulated?  Articulated
transit vehicles of all vaireties never seem to be as reliable as their
rigid counterparts for whatever reason.

>when i talk to subway operators they always complain about going from the
>second last car to the last car just before the terminus of the run.

The position of the guard with respect to the train is due to the optimum
vantage point - so even if the TTC had articulated cars, the guards would
still be in the same place in the train and would have to walk those 150
feet to the end of the train at the terminal.  Think of those poor NYCT
subway operators.  The drivers are drivers and the conducters are conductors
so at the end of the line the driver has to walk the full length of the
train - which can be up to 600 feet.

>if the ttc used double-ended articulated subway cars the guard would just
>walk to the other end of his/her car to do the same procedure.

The walk would be the same length, but the guard wouldn't have to open two
doors - hardly a big deal.

>this design would also give more standee room because of the articulated

New York City only had a very small number of articulated units (122) called
Triplexes that were in use on the BMT lines from 1927-1965.  If you are
interested in those cars click here:
http://www.nycsubway.org/cars/bmt-d.html  They also built a few more
experimental "multisectioned" units toatalling 13 in all.  Eventually, they
settled on the standard married pair arrangement.

I also understand that the RATP (Paris Metro) also has articulated subway
cars now.  Here is an interior shot that looks through the articulartion
joint.  http://www.nycsubway.org/eu/fr/paris/line14/p14interior01.jpg
Sadly, these trains are operated without drivers or guards.

Rob

I've seen a number of H4 trains lately..

I'm guessing the TTC wants to phase them out in favour of the T1 trains?

Can't believe I never noticed this before!  Actually, I probably did,
but didn't realize there was a difference.  Was it introduced on the
current Ride Guide (January) or before that?

I presume the changes had to do with Sheppard -- either because too
many colour combinations, or nothing went with purple, etc.

Also noticed that the legend has been moved to the bottom on the
Rapid Transit strip map, presumably in preparation for Sheppard.

5362 is one of the last T1 cars to arrive and therefore one of the
newest.  The numbers the H1's (and Montreal and Gloucester cars)
previously had have been re-assigned to the T1 cars.
