HArtFord, conn.(AP) While $19 million is afar cry from the estimated$21.1 billion that’s needed toaddress a backlog of projectsalong the Northeast railcorridor, advocates hope it’sa signal there will be more tocome down the track.
the special allotment,tucked into the new federalbudget, marks the first time inrecent memory that federalmoney has been specifically ded-icated for projects along the aging557-mi. (896 km) stretch of rail-way from Washington, d.c. toBoston — the busiest passengerrail corridor in the nation.
U.s. sen. chris Murphy ofconnecticut called the $19 mil-lion “a foot in the door” thatcould lead to additional federal funding. Much more is need-ed to help the states upgrade a rail corridor with crucial seg-ments at or near full capacity, bridges and tunnels datingback to the period between the civil War and the New deal,and components of electrical and signal systems from the1930s.
“the amount of money is not what is significant,” saidMurphy, who worked to include the provision in the budgetbill. “What is important, for the first time, we have a dedi-cated account just for the Northeast and we can grow thataccount as time goes on, knowing that every dime in it willhelp the Northeast corridor.”
While much of the $1.4 billion in federal funds Amtrakexpects to receive ultimately will be spent on the Northeastcorridor, northeastern lawmakers have wanted for years aguarantee that funds would always be dedicated to theregion. Lawmakers elsewhere opposed the idea, fearful theirrail lines might suffer.
“the Northeast corridor is by far the busiest rail system inthe country and is an essential piece of our national trans-portation network,” said U.s. sen. Jack reed of rhode
island. “everybody needs to paytheir fair share of the freight, andthis $19 million for dedicatedinvestments along the Northeastcorridor represents a small downpayment on the federal govern-ment’s part.”
James redeker, chairman ofthe Northeast corridorinfrastructure and operationsAdvisory commission, said a
proposed five-year capitalimprovement planreleased earlier this year isthe basis for the new fund-ing. the first-of-its-kind,regionwide blueprint forimproving the corridorwas a joint effort of thestates, the U.s.department oftransportation, Amtrak,eight commuter rail agen-cies and others. it identi-fies how much money is
available for projects and how much more still is needed.While the commission devised a new framework for shar-
ing operating and capital costs, it contends the federal gov-ernment has primary responsibility for eliminating the back-log of deferred maintenance and restoring infrastructure to astate-of-good-repair. the new federal transportation bill willallow Amtrak to reinvest profits generated along the corridorin the Northeast, but that’s not expected to generate enoughmoney.
“Without significant and sustained federal investment incorridor assets that will provide economic returns for thenext hundred years, the condition and performance of the[Northeast corridor] will continue to worsen,” redeker tolda congressional subcommittee in May. “the economic andmobility risks for the region and the nation are unaccept-able.”

Doosan Equipment Makes Impossible Mission PossibleMount Washington Cog Railway Utilizes a Doosan Excavator for Challenging Project at 6,200 FeetWhat do you do when faced with
an insurmountable challenge of com-pleting a construction project on thehighest peak in the Northeast? Somewould shy away from such anendeavor, but not the team at theMount Washington Cog Railway.The tourist attraction in Marshfield
Station, N.H., is installing a fourthrailway switch, located about 500 ft.below the summit, with some helpfrom a Doosan DX140LCR-3 crawlerexcavator and a pair of attachments.The additional railway switch is athree-phase project that will eventual-ly help guide trains from one track tothe other, increasing the frequency ofpassenger visits to the summit.
Facing Unique, ChallengingConditions
Mount Washington (elevation6,288 ft.) is known for erratic weatherand fluctuating temperatures that canvary throughout the year — from minus 49to 74 F. Snow also is common on the sum-mit, with an annual snowfall amount of 177in. (14.75 ft.), and average wind speeds are37 mph. Because of the Arctic-like condi-tions at the summit, Gareth Slattery, generalmanager at the Cog Railway, knew it wouldbe a challenge building a fourth railwayswitch, even during warm spring months.After consulting with Jim Mullen, his
Equipment East sales specialist, Slatteryrented a DX140LCR-3 reduced-tail-swingexcavator because of its reliability and oper-ating weight — an ideal match to fit on thespecially designed haul cart. “I can count onJim to send me a machine that is functional,”Slattery said. “I am all about service becausewhen we get the machine on a mountain,you just don’t run your mechanic up there tofix it. I knew that I could count on Jim andhis recommendation for this application.”
Overcoming ObstaclesSlattery faced multiple challenges, includ-
ing how to transport the DX140LCR-3 tothe project site. He had mechanical engineerAl LaPrade design a cart to haul the excava-tor to the summit — a machine heavier thanthe DX140LCR-3 could not have beentransported.Workers dealt with unrelenting snow and
ice, even in May. Before working on thefourth switch installation, they had to move2-ft.-wide rocks using the DX140LCR-3with a bucket and a hydraulic clamp. Afterthe rocks were moved, more than 8 ft. ofsnow had to be cleared so workers couldcontinue on the fourth switch. If that wasn’tchallenging enough, 2 ft. of ice had settled
underneath the snow.Slattery paired the DX140LCR-3 with a
hydraulic breaker to help break up the frozenground — known as permafrost — allowingfor a more malleable surface to lay the sup-port beams. “We flattened out spots for ourpedestals for that switch to sit on,” he said.“We created some semi-flat spots for the‘benches’ to go in. A lot of what the excava-tor did is act like a crane and lift beams intoplace.”The DX140LCR-3 worked on the project
until the end of June 2015. The excavatorwas brought down from the site and a sec-ond Doosan excavator will be used again in
spring 2016 to continue the project. “Wehope to have the project finished and thefourth switch operational by July 2016,”Slattery said.Adding a fourth switch will improve the
Mount Washington Cog Railway’s operatingefficiency to better manage passenger trafficup and down the mountain. “When we getthe fourth switch installed, we will have anadditional siding on the summit that willallow us to run 45-minute schedules,” hesaid. “The schedule is set up now so whenthe train arrives at the summit, it unloadspassengers and the passengers from the pre-vious hour get on the train and come down
the mountain. We will be adding at least oneadditional trip a day, if not two, and the pas-sengers can go up and come down on thesame train.”The uniqueness of the cog design is some-
thing employees at the Mount WashingtonCog Railway take pride in. With the help ofthe Doosan DX140LCR-3 excavator,employees will continue to utilize steam anddiesel locomotives on the cog railway and beable to accommodate visitors for years tocome.
(This story was reprinted with permissionfrom Doosan DoMore Magazine, Winter2016 issue.)
Since 1869, locomotives at Mount Washington CogRailway have been built in-house using materials obtainedlocally. Each locomotive costs approximately $700,000 tobuild and is made on site to fit the intricate cog system. Apair of hydraulically driven cog gears, engaged in a station-ary cog rack and installed between the rails, provides thetractive force to propel the train up the mountain at anaverage grade of 25 percent.
Today, the Mount Washington Cog Railway primarily usesfive biodiesel locomotives, introduced in 2008, to helpreduce emissions and conserve fossil fuels. It takes approx-imately 37 minutes and 9 gal. of biodiesel fuel for each ofthese locomotives to reach the summit.

Ten Reasons Why Contractors Should Use MasterRentsBy Alicia LaguardaSPECIAL TO CEG
Ask Jeff Masterson to give you a coupleof reasons why North Shore contractorsshould rent equipment from Danvers, Mass.,company MasterRents to tackle a tough jobor finish a project on time. His answer? “I’llgive you ten.”
The reasons come from Masterson him-self and his staff members, MasterRentsSalesman Al Garber and OperationsManager Bill Peach. The reasons certainlyresonate with contractors in the area; in thefive years since MasterRents opened forbusiness as a member of the Milton CATRental Alliance Network, a network of inde-pendent rental stores that offer daily andweekly rental of Caterpillar equipment andother complementary lines, the company hassteadily grown. From a small inventory con-sisting of a few skid steers to a rental busi-ness that now boasts 75 Cat machines. Andnow for the reasons…
Better BusinessMasterson’s view is that the customers of
area contractors don’t care whether themachine on the job site is the contractor’s orif he is renting it; all the customer cares aboutis that the contractor finishes the job on timeand on budget. So if you can rent what youneed and return it when you’re done, tyingyour money to equipment you don’t knowfor sure you’ll need in the long run makes nobusiness sense. At any rate, other than theCat logo and the Milton CAT stickers, thereare no names on the machines rented byMasterRents.
“Looking at a job site, nobody would beable to know that some of the machinesworking there are not actually the contrac-tors,” Masterson said.
Test the WatersAs Garber explained, renting lets you
check out the latest models, often equippedwith state-of-the-art technology, so you cantest them at your own site and decidewhether it makes sense for you to make theinvestment. A good example is a track skidsteer with a laser grader that MasterRents hasfor rent, and that has opened new opportuni-ties for a couple of local contractors.
AvailabilityAccording to Masterson, when you work with an estab-
lished rental alliance member such as MasterRents, youknow that you have access to an inventory that’s hard tomatch,
“MasterRents can get you pretty much any Cat machineyou want to rent, straight from Milton CAT.”
ReliabilityOnce you make your decision to rent, you don’t want to
second-guess yourself regarding whether or not you madethe right choice. Work with an established rental partner thathas the human and financial resources to maintain a com-plete and impeccable fleet, and the clout to get additionalequipment for rent when a customer needs it.
ProductivityDuring busy spells, contractors may find
themselves moving machines around to takecare of what’s urgent, and sometimes theyend up “making do,” using the second orthird best because the one that would fit per-fectly is at another job. What happens then?Productivity suffers. With a good rentalsource backing you up, you don’t need tocompromise.
PartnershipAs Masterson said, “It’s a special kind of
attitude; the willingness to network with arental company and not try and do every-thing on your own with what you have atyour disposal. Masterson is convinced thatthe “partnership” approach to business is thebest one, and opens a contractor’s eyes toother ways of doing things.
UptimeIt’s a real WIN/WIN; you use the machine
you need to handle the job you have to do,and you know that your machine will bedelivered to you in top shape, ready to work.Service and repairs are not your problems.MasterRents has four full-time mechanics,which allows it to do 95 percent of its workin-house.
Cost-Effective Edge“Sometimes participating in a potentially
profitable bid depends on your having one ortwo specific pieces of equipment in yourfleet — but those machines may not makebusiness sense for you to own,” Garber said.
PlanningDon’t put the brakes on your vision, said
Masterson, your plans for growth can be asambitious as you dare. Just make sure youhave a rental partner who can support youwith the right machine at the right time.
SupportMasterson thinks this is actually one of the
main reasons for MasterRents’ success. “We have a dedicated salesperson whose
experience as a contractor and his knowl-edge of the equipment and work tools are themost valuable advantages our customersget,” he said, talking about MasterRentsSalesman, Garber. And Gerber confirmedthat’s one of the facets of his job he appreci-
ates the most, “Spending the time to listen carefully; askingquestions about the specific job, the challenge, thegoals…will often allow me to offer advice that saves the cus-tomer money and aggravation.”

Continuing her efforts to ensure asolid, modern transportation infra-structure that sets the foundation forlong-term economic growth, Gov.Maggie Hassan submitted her rec-ommended Ten-Year TransportationImprovement Plan for 2017 to 2026.
"A solid and modern transporta-tion infrastructure is critical to thesuccess of our people and businesses,and the Ten-Year TransportationImprovement Plan is an importantopportunity to build on our bipartisanprogress over the last several years,”Gov. Hassan said. “This plan advances criti-cal transportation goals while maintainingfiscal responsibility living within our pro-jected revenues."
After holding 16 public hearings and fourpublic work sessions across the state, thegovernor’s Advisory Commission onIntermodal Transportation (GACIT) submit-ted its recommendations to the governor inDecember. Those recommendations includeincreasing funding for red-listed bridges andbridge preservation; completing the widen-ing of Interstate 93; beginning the first phaseof widening Route 106 in front of the NewHampshire Motor Speedway to 2018; accel-erating construction of Exit 4A inLondonderry and Derry to 2019; and resur-facing an additional 200 mi. (322 km) ofroads per year and replacing or rehabilitatingan additional 23 red-listed bridges. The planalso focuses on preserving good roads nowto avoid more expensive projects later.
As the Commission was finishing itswork in December, the United StatesCongress passed the Fixing America’sSurface Transportation Act, providing addi-tional funding for New Hampshire. As aresult, the governor’s plan includes severaladditional recommendations.
In addition to GACIT’s original recom-mendations, the governor’s plan also accel-erates by two years the East Hollis Streetimprovements and recommends a fullreplacement of the Hampton River Bridgeproject as opposed to a rehabilitation project.The governor’s plan also has a strong focuson addressing deficient bridges by increas-ing the Bridge Preservation Program by $5million per year in fiscal years 2019 and2020 and adding $5 million per year to thestate’s Red List Bridge program in fiscalyears 2022 through 2024.
The governor’s plan also utilizes $4 mil-lion in available Federal Transit AuthorityFunds for environmental and engineeringassessment work for the Capital CorridorRail project, which was recommended by
the Capital Corridor Rail Study as the nextstep required to move the project forward.
“Commuter rail will improve access to theentire region and provide new transportationand housing opportunities that 21st centuryworkers and families are looking for,spurring economic development and creat-ing jobs,” Gov. Hassan said. “The businesscommunity continues to call on us to takeaction on this vital project, and this plan willhelp us move forward.”
Pursuant to RSA 228.99 and RSA 240 ofthe Laws of New Hampshire, the governor isrequired to submit her recommended Ten-Year Transportation Improvement Plan byJan. 15. The plan now goes to the stateLegislature for consideration, beginningwith the House of Representatives.
“We must continue working together tostrengthen our transportation infrastructure,which will help set the foundation for long-term economic growth,” Gov. Hassan said.“I look forward to continuing to work withthe Legislature to continue addressing ourtransportation challenges so that our people,businesses and communities can grow andthrive.”
