there were two downtown those days because the railroad square was part of the downtown that survived. behind mene that was that was call the empire building which was a big welding in those years it was built in 1904. it was badly damaged but it came back. just down the street to the mailer five was the building. it survived both earthquakes. and out of the railroad tracks there is a stone building, one of our signature stone buildings that were built by stonemasons in the early 1900s. , and ise western hotel now a number of different things and --ng a copy house coffee house and beauty parlor. or what won'ture gave way, but it was replaced and it is still there and how does this earthquake shakes santa rosa? santa rosa, again. --ore the 19 all caps six 1906 earthquake the downtown from where much what we are now to the railroad depot, two blocks. the way it changed is because of the automobile. earthquake gave the town a chance to redesign itself for the automobiles which was soon. there was a man named frank doyle who was the paternalistic there of santa rosa in early 1900s. he wen

president, this is just not about the railroads, contrary to what has been said here on the floor, that somehow this is a -- you know, a special benefit that only helps railroads. it's about the farmers, many of whom i represent in south dakota, that depend upon the railroad for fertilizer. it's about the manufacturers and other businesses that depend upon rail for critical inputs. and it's about water treatment facilities that depend on rail for chemicals to purify drinking water. it's about all the workers and the households that benefit from this safe mode of transportati transportation. rail dependent commuters and customers cannot afford -- cannot afford -- a congressionally caused railroad shutdown and that is exactly what would happen if we fail to act. each day, well over a million riders in the united states board commuter railroads to get to and from their places of work. over 2 million people work in industries that use hazardous chemicals hauled by rail, and the gross economic output of these industries alone is over $2 trillion. in fact, the effects of a looming railroad sh

the topic is the underground railroad in the district of columbia. in the catalog of human endeavors, there are few chapters more grand than the story of the underground railroad. the organized effort to have people make the great trek from slavery to freedom is one that strikes a resonance in our hearts and minds that rings from the time we will chronicle down to the 21st century. what we will also see is that it's not simply a matter of evading the beasts that you can see, but also the ones you really can't. if you look closely at this painting called "the hunted slaves" from 1861, the dogs, the slobbering hounds that the man is so ferociously resisting with his axe. he has already slain one. these are simply, if you will, ideas or symbols for the slave power, the slave owners. there are also something else. other dangers. we have the wilds, going into unfamiliar territory. it will be difficult to see on the tree log, just about here. let's just say we will call this creature -- sir arthur conan doyle called it the speckled band. it is a symbol of

part of it was the railroads caught up with a milder winter and a drop in demand for railcars. "the lesser shipments coming out of bakken oil fields up there have helped alleviate some of the rail congestion." "that demand has slowed by way of the falling prices on oil, but that's really shifted some of the assets and the concerns of the past year or two." and the demand for cars to move grain has also been softer, even with the record crop in haven't been able to take and move out a lot of inventory so i don't think there's a lot of pressure on the railroads." -another reason the rail crisis has eased here in the western corn belt is the investment railroads companies have made in infrastructureo.. "the railroads have invested heavilyomore crews, more locomotives, more cars, made some investment in track and things like that." they're doing better." plus congress stepped in with legislative action. "the work that senator thune and the commerce committee have done to try and hold the railroads accountable for any of the delays that they've had has been beneficial. you know just

he sold freight for the railroads. ecause he was traveling everywhere he sold ads for newspapers in the cities he knew -- he worked in. this is an example of how aggressive a businessman fred harvey was. on this day in 1868 he makes a deal with the leavenworth conservative to sell ads for them or $3000 a year which was a lot of money in 1867 for a side job. explains he asked it would be ok p sold as for other newspapers. it would be a good thing for them. him.was his he was a moral man, upstanding man, the aggressive man. he believed american business worked best when you were that aggressive. he was asking whether there could be additional synergy for what he was doing and people all over the midwest and the east admired him for this because he had something. an englishman who understood the many american business in ways more than those already living here. what is interesting is to go back and look at the old newspapers were people writing this about thi him before he waa famous restauranteur. they were the ones who

the schools. >>> commuter railroads would shut down. that's what the heads of those commuter r heailroads say could happen if congress fails to extend a looming deadline to install train control technology. we have the story of the long fight for positive train control and exclusive interview with one person who says the railroads are dragging their feet. >> reporter: this is a station where a mother of four said good-bye to her husband. he died in a derailment. it's been nearly two years since nancy montgomery kissed her husband good-bye. he was working a sunday shift on the rockefeller christmas tree lighting but the 6:20 a.m. train that morning derailed when the drowsy engineer careened off the tracks at 82 miles per hour. jim and three others died in the crash and federal investigators said it was all preventible. >> if they had made it a priority when they were mandated to in 2008, we would have positive train control on our trains. right now my husband would still be alive. >> reporter: the federal railroad administration ordered r

' s rising demand less appealing. >> we' re here in downtown portsmouth where the railroad has asked a federal judge to block any efforts by the city to stop them from off-loading liquid petroleum about 100 yards up these tracks. xx. boston and maine corporation, which is part of pan am railways, claims its preparing to transfer propane from rail cars to trucks next to a densely-populated neighborhood. >> what if something goes wrong, we live right next to it and offloading petroleum, what if something happens, they' re in the middle of town. >> i' m worried, i' m wondering what are they thinking? >> the railroad says the transfer facility is needed because the city is opposed to a proposed expansion at sea-3, a propane distributor in newington. sea-3 has passed safety studies but still faces state and local processes and regulations. the lawsuit asks a federal judge maine is protected under federal statutes and is exempt from state and local regulations. >> so the position of the city is going to be that we will do whatever we can within the bounds of the law to protect our citizens

we know this thanks to an investigation by the federal railroad administration. ing us now is sarah fineberg, the acting administrator. great to you have here. thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me. good to see you. >> let me ask you first about the fine in this case. is it true that company in charge of the tracks and the contractor in charge of checking them, they only got fined $25,000 for this disaster? >> that's right. $25,000 each. that's actually the limit of our statutory authority for failure to identify and mitigate a defect like this. >> and as you're taking these new steps to try to improve track safety, you're taking multiple steps to make oil trains a safer thing, specifically looking at the track safety improvements, is that potential fine, are those potential penalties also going to go up? is that even under consideration? >> well, the congress would probably have to step in on that. but what we've said is we have a zero tolerance policy for these crude routes. so whether it's track, whether it's the way you are operating the train, we'

city leaders say there's an upside to the inconvenience... 093408 - adm and the railroad over on hull is going to increase investment by about 5 million and add about 30 jobs in that area this morning crews closed southeast 34th street at the union pacific railroad tracks. drivers must now detour two blocks to southeast 36th street to get across. its part of a deal city leaders agreed to two years ago... despite extensive 580423 - the railroad they got their own ideas and they kinda own des moines. des moines aint got nothing to say, if the railroads wanna do something they are gonna do it regardless 571919 - a while back we got petitions up and turned in petitions with hundreds of names on them and it didnt make any difference another group is hoping its petition does make a difference... iowa citizens for community improvement collected a thousand signatures of people opposed to the bakken oil pipeline.. nathan malachowski 35:07-35:15 we're here to say hell no to the bakken pipeline, that much is clear. the iowa utilities board is in the pocket of big oil and we want them to know th

but some of the railroads are dragging their feet, and they have every excuse in the book. some of the reasons, i think, do need our attention. for example, there's problems with spectrum. there's problem with rights of way. we can work on that. but we need, as senator blumenthal said, instead of giving these three-year delay, there need to be what he calls metrics, so that we can ascertain before they get all this time, what are they doing? are we going to be faced here in this body in years to come with more requests for delay? well, if we're not really looking over the shoulder of the railroads, the answer is clearly yes. they don't want to save the money. and, by the way, the cost-benefit ratio on this is overwhelming. is overwhelming. i said before rhetorically, you know, it's very interesting that the only piece of free-standing legislation that was pulled out of the bill and placed on this three-week extension was this delay in positive train control safety. and nothing else, nothing else. and this was cherry-picked. nothing else. i mean, i worked with several senato

now, you combine that with the railroad that had already collapsed, the pennsylvania railroad was gone, the reading railroad was gone, the manufacturing was gone, and now 25% of your population is gone. in 1982 when he came into office, it was rumored that bankruptcy papers were left on his desk when he took office because the city was, it was dead. and i think if you look at the financials at that time, you would agree it was probably dead. twenty-eight years later he's still mayor. well, how did that happen? stephen reeled, i believe, absolutely loved this city. i believe that he wanted this city to thrive, he wanted this city to be great, he wanted the city to reclaim the historical significance that it once had. i compare him to bernie madoff. bernie madoff wanted his investors to succeed. bernie madoff wanted his investors to get rich. he wanted them to be prosperous. stephen reed didn't want to get caught. bernie madoff didn't want to get caught. they were both willing to do whatever they had to do because they were focused on their objective. it looks line stephen reed has been

the deadline now. without an extension, railroads will stop shipping important chemicals critical to the manufacturing, agricultural, clean drinking water and other activities. some railroads are notifying shippers they will stop accepting chemical shipments by december 1. this is creating extreme uncertainty across a variety of groups that rely on rail shipments from farmers who need ammonia for fertilizers to water utilities who need chlorine to purify trying boughter. some companies have begun the process for shutting down plants because they can't operate. one company in new hampshire said its railroad will stop picking up chlorine on november 13. this is the only supplier of chlorine to the entire six-state new england region for drinking water and wastewater treatment. therefore after november 13, new england could have well be -- could very well be without clean water. on a broader scale, a rail shutdown would pull $30 billion out of the economy in one quarter alone and lead to 700,000 jobs lost in one month. it is our responsibility to extend this deadline now and avoid such harm to the nation'
