2. Introduction Project Objectives: Pittsburgh looking for cost-effective design for freight system Reduce smog Meet EPA requirements Project Background 165,00 tons of freight shipped each day Tier 2 locomotives need upgrading Or: find alternative transportation methods/fuel sources Project Sponsor: GE Transportation 2

3. Transportation Infrastructure Condition and Capacity PA Infrastructure Report Card Grades: Overall: C- Roads: D- Bridges: D+ Inland Waterways: D+ Freight Rail: B Most efficient transportation method: freight rail 3

4. Standard Capacity for Alternate Transportation Modes One cargo barge: capacity of 1,500 tons One 15 barge tow: capacity of 22,500 tons One jumbo hopper railroad car: capacity of 100 tons One 100 car train unit: capacity of 10,500 tons One large semi truck: capacity of 26 tons Larger capacity=slower speed Freight rail: best balance 4

5. Transportation Costs and Concept of Operations (ConOps) Trucks - The average cost per mile was $1.676. The average cost per hour was $65.68 Barges - $150 demurrage rate and $650 per each stop-off Railroad - 10 cents per passenger-kilometer and on a relatively dense freight oriented railroads can average 2 cents per ton-kilometer. 5

6. EPA Diesel Emission Standards 6

7. Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions (DEEE) -NOx. Some of the pollutants of diesel emissions are caused by a reaction involving nitrogen and oxygen -Particulate Matter (PM). This pollutant has no specific chemical formula. -CO 2. Carbon dioxide is a product of the combustion reaction occurring as fuel burns. -Hydrocarbons (HC). Fuels are made up of hydrocarbons. 7

8. Locomotive Fleet Upgrade 8

9. Summary The city of Pittsburgh needed a plan in which it could continue to meet its transportation demands while dealing with smog issues and meeting EPA requirements. 9
