18 IMPACK: Itel picks a proven performer
Identical to Santa Fe's Ten-Pack except for the paint scheme, Itel's intermodal car has passed squeeze tests and is now going onto the market-for sale, not lease.
22 Conrail wins shipper applause
CR "is absolutely working better as a system than ever before," says Ford Motor Co.'s Richard Haupt-an opinion echoed by most CR customers surveyed by Railway Age.
25 Industrial development: CR's goal is clusters of customers
Conrail has renamed and redirected its ID department (it's now regional development) as part of an effort to win strong new markets and weed out weak ones.
30 Crossing protection: A safety program that works
A wide-ranging-and so far dramatically effective-program has depended heavily on federally funded protection. But highway "block grants" could endanger the program.
36 Pavings: Safety is more than gates, lights, and bells
Several special crossing surfaces now available are designed to reduce maintenance as well as provide a smoother, safer ride for the motorist.
38 Guiding a short line from survival to success
After five years on subsidy, the Hillsdale County Railway (62 miles of ex-PC) is headed for profitability. A new on-line power plant should make the difference.
