Advanced Train Systems
By Mary Bellis Roads of rails called Wagonways were being used in Germany as early as 1550. These primitive railed roads consisted of wooden rails over which horse-drawn wagons or carts moved with greater ease than over dirt roads. Wagonways were the beginnings of modern railroads. By 1776, iron had replaced the wood in the rails and wheels on the carts. Wagonways evolved into Tramways and spread though out Europe. Horses still provided all the pulling power. In 1789, Englishman, William Jessup designed the first wagons with flanged wheels. The flange was a groove that allowed the wheels to better grip the rail, this was an important design that carried over to later locomotives. The invention of the steam engine was critical to the invention of the modern railroad and trains. In 1803, a man named Samuel Homfray decided to fund the developement of a steam-powered vehicle to replace the horse-drawn carts on the tramways.

Early Railroad Transportation
By Rudolph J. Walther
Application having been made to the Legislature for a charter for a railroad company to ply between Philadelphia and Norristown ( See stock certificate for this railroad
In April, 1829, the Delaware and Schuylkill Railroad was incorporated. This railroad was finished and opened on April 23, 1834. The route of same was on Willow Street, from the Delaware River westward to Broad Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, to the Schuylkill river bridge at Peters' Island, there to connect with the Columbia or Pennsylvania Railroad. It was practically the first passenger railroad within the city. The cars were drawn by horses. It was announced that on this date pleasure cars would run at stated periods from the Third Street Hall, northwest corner of third and Willow Streets. This building was erected to serve a dual purpose-hotel and railroad depot.
Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad was incorporate February 23, 1832, with a capital of six hundred thousand dollars. The depot was established on a lot of ground between Frankford Road and Front Street, north of Harrison (now Palmer Street). The office of the company to continue east at Third Street Hall, Third and Willow Streets, On March 23, 1839, another act of assembly was passed authorized the company to continue its tracks from the depot in Kensington along the Frankford Road and Maiden Street for one year, until another railroad could be conveniently constructed upon another route from the Kensington depot to the depot at Third and Willow Streets.

EURASIAN RAILWAYS SYMPOSIUM
Helsinki, 3 - 4 April 2002
Railroad Transportation and the Port of Turku; Turku Logistically
Christian Ramberg,
Managing Director, Port of Turku
Port of Turku Focus on the future
The Port of Turku in the south-western part of Finland is the leading port in Nordic European shipping and the only port serving both rail, trailer and container traffic. The annual number of passengers travelling through the Port of Turku is almost the same as the number of inhabitants in Finland, and in addition, the ferries carry 300 000 vehicles. Regular and frequent ferry connections import and export yearly over 4,0 million tons of product ranging from easily perishable foodstuffs to vehicles, such as passenger cars. With a history that goes back 850 years, the Port of Turku is a service centre of transport logistics that focuses on the future. Excellent geographical location by the Baltic Sea, at the gateway between east and west, is of primary importance. Turku is an inexpensive and secure location for new business - a property that is valued higher and higher these days. The port has more and more been developed into a logistic and distribution center and in this work the port does not need to be alone because the entire Turku region stands behind the Pilot- project with the goal to make the Turku region the logistic center for The New Northern Europe.

An Industry Overview of Motor Freight Terminals/Railroad Transportation
If your business is in the motor freight terminals/railroad transportation category, the products you use or transport might contain hazardous materials and the waste you generate might be hazardous waste. If you generate hazardous waste, you might be subject to Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements covering the generation, transportation, and management of hazardous waste. Your industry is classified under motor freight terminals railroad transportation if you are primarily engaged in:
  • The operation of terminal facilities used by highway vehicles
  • The maintenance and service of trucks and other highway vehicles
  • Line haul railroad operations
  • The furnishing of terminal facilities for rail passenger or freight traffic for line haul service
  • The movement of railroad cars between terminal yards.
Hazardous Wastes from Motor Freight Terminals/Railroad Transportation
Motor freight terminals perform a variety of activities, including loading and unloading packaged goods, cleaning offloaded tank trucks, cleaning and painting trucks, and maintaining highway vehicles. Most of the hazardous wastes included in this summary are generated during maintenance activities; motor freight terminals not equipped with maintenance facilities might not generate some or any of these wastes. Operations that involve cleaning the inside of offloaded tank trucks generate waste that contains small amounts of the substance that was shipped. This waste might also be hazardous.
