Latah Trail Project To preserve the historic MoscowArrow railroad corridor for non-motorized recreational and transportation uses. http://www.latahtrailfoundation.org/
Extractions: For Current Events: Please see our Trail Discussion The Latah Trail Foundation (LTF) was founded in the spring of 1998, by a handful of people with a vision for safe, non-motorized transportation and recreation along the former Moscow-Arrow rail line. The group quickly organized itself and developed a common mission as stated below. MISSION: To preserve the historic Moscow-Arrow railroad corridor for non-motorized recreational and transportation uses for Latah County, its residents and visitors, and To provide Latah County and its communities with support to provide this physical connection to their past and open an avenue for their future. The Latah Trail Foundation has focused on one aspect of their vision, a path between the cities of Moscow and Troy. LTF has gathered tremendous support for building this safe and scenic off-the-highway paved route that will be used by pedestrians, bikers, rollerbladers, walkers, runners, wheel-chair operators, cross-country skiers and others with non-motorized transportation. Latah Trail Foundation volunteers helped to gather more than 1,700 signatures on a petition supporting a bicycle/pedestrian path between Moscow and Troy.

On The Right Track In Alaska - ExploreNorth There was at one time over 20 railroads operating in the Alaska territory. They recognized the need of a yearround means of transportation to and from http://www.explorenorth.com/library/aktravel/bl-rails.htm
Extractions: The Alaska Railroad is the result of the remnant of two gold-rush era railroads, the Alaska Central, later known as the Alaska Northern, and the Tanana Valley Railroad. The Northern extended 71 miles north from Seward to Cook Inlet. The Tanana Valley extended from Chena, a settlement on the Tanana River, to Fairbanks, with a branch to Chatanika. The TVRR has evolved into a modern full-service carrier transporting passengers and freight to and from the Interior of Alaska to ports at Anchorage, Whittier and Seward. The Tanana Valley Railroad began life as the Tanana Mine Railways by entrepreneurs Falcon Joslin and Martin Harrais from Dawson, Yukon Territory, Canada after learning of the gold strikes in the Chena and Chatanika river basins. They recognized the need of a year-round means of transportation to and from the mines. In 1903, Joslin and Harrais traveled to the Tanana Valley to evaluate building a railroad from the Tanana River to Fairbanks and to the gold fields. After returning to Dawson, they developed plans and secured financial backing from British investors. Construction began in 1904, but came to an abrupt halt due to unforeseen engineering problems. The terrain was deceptive appearing perfect for laying track, but it turned into a quagmire of swamps and small streams due to the hidden permafrost that thawed when the ground cover was disturbed. During the winter it re-froze and was hard as a rock and the tools couldn't budge the frozen ground.

Extractions: PURPOSE This hearing is a prospective look the options for restructuring what intercity passenger rail in America. The Subcommittee held a hearing on February 14 on the findings of the Amtrak Reform Council. It also held a hearing on March 6, which was a retrospective look at the successes and failures of Amtrak and the Amtrak Reform and Accountability Act of 1997. BACKGROUND Congress must make some fundamental decisions regarding the future of Amtrak and intercity rail passenger service in the United States. Amtrak states that it will require a minimum of $1.2 billion in FY 2003 simply to maintain the existing service. If it does not receive this amount, Amtrak says it will have to eliminate virtually all long-distance passenger trains by October 2002 or will have to take other actions including deferring some expenditures. Moreover, both the Department of Transportation/Inspector General and the General Accounting Office have identified billions of dollars in unmet capital needs that must be funded if Amtrak is to operate safely and securely. During the course of the hearings held by the Subcommittee, witnesses have raised a number of issues that are central to Congress deciding how to structure intercity passenger rail in the United States in the future. This hearing is intended to further explore these issues and to solicit ideas from the witnesses.
Extractions: PURPOSE The Subcommittee on Railroads will hold a hearing on February 14, 2002, 2:00 p.m., Rm. 2167 RHOB.

Welcome The News Express Since before the time of Julius Caesar, the ability or inability to get from point A to point B has won wars, generated economic booms and busts, and enriched or diminished the lives of billions of people. The competition "to get there first" on road, rail, sea or air has been fierce enough to create massive fortunes and to leave behind sagas of opportunity, greed, high ideals, raw ambition, and heartbreak.
