running the railroads. i think the testing phase takes a lot longer than the railroads assume. it takes 103 years to get her initial testing. so our concern is, you don't want to short sharing -- shortchanged that. i think those of the big issues that we have highlighted in our work. >> are you familiar with the next train? >> i have a high-level understanding. >> i am curious if you could talk to us about that. i appreciate that challenges that you face moving forward. but can you talk to us about the implementation of the ptc mandate for x train in the future? >> it will be between a host and a tenant. anywhere that there rail requires ptc for them to run new service on their rail, will require them to run from 12. -- ptc . >> i know my time is running out. ronald batory , for the various certifications and waivers, what are you communicating to the railroad as far as timelines they should expect for your safety professionals to review and respond to the documents? >> let me address exceptions first. excep

>> it is a -- unchnly, the host railroad for us, the host railroad applies for the alternative schedule in florida. we then go under that. >> so is it their fault? is that -- is amtrak held hostage to the host railroad? and in this case, who is the host railroad? >> there is at least two different florida railroads involved. >> name them. >> one would be sun rail. and i would have to get back to you with the second to be honest. it escapes me at the moment. but essentially, they are ready to -- when they have installed the way side, and when they are ready to test with us and our locomotives. essentially our role for being able to run on another railroad's ptc system is to have our locomotives ready. and we will have our locomotives ready. we have to wait for their system to be able to kplukt with our locomotives. >> senator, the railroads you wanted, sun rail, csx and norfolk southern. those are the three. >> there is trirail as well. >> trirail. >> trirail is in south florida. trirail runs between west palm and miami. sun rail runs to orlando, north and south of orlando. and also you

is amtrak held hostage to the host railroad and in this case who is the host railroad? >> there is at least two different florida railroads involved. >> name them. >> one would be stunned while then i'd have to get back to you for the second to be honest. it escapes me at the moment. we may have installed the wayside. our role for being able to run on another railroad ptc system is to have our locomotives ready and we will have her locomotives ready. we have to wait for the system to communicate with our locomotives. >> senator nelson, the railroad you wanted is the southernmost piece going into miami. those are the three. >> okay. tri-rail as well. >> tri-rail is in south florida. runs between west palm and miami. runs to orlando, north and south of orlando. and also you said csx and who was the fourth one? >> csx will be ready in two weeks for us to begin testing within an associate we should have no problem. it's on rail and tri-rail for us that we would be running under alternative schedule. >> so, i would like if you would submit for the record, please, the number

then there's a risk reduction plan which is primarily for the federal railroads, or the freight railroads, excuse me, and thatl is now in the final stages and should emerge sometime this year, early next year. that will address sleep apnea as most of the health issues as a whole. >> that's a somewhat different answer than the one you provided indi your letter, so i'm glad folks are working on it but when there is clear evidence that te ntsb says,ev really, requires or calls for action, it would seem to be you guys could deal with the sleep apnea right away. and so i will look forward to further conversation about this, but the evidence is really clear that this is something we should be dealing with, and the first letter i got back from you always say there was insufficient data and hear the ntsb says there is. >> and also another favorable subset to that is the fact that many of the entities both private and public already addressing those health issues today without regulation. >> i will follow-up with with you on it because i think it shouldn'twi be up to private carriers to decide whe

>> unfortunately, the host railroad for us come at the host railroad applies for the alternative schedule in florida. we then go under that. sen. nelson: so is it their fault? hostage to the host railroad and in this case who is the host railroad? >> there's at least two different florida railroads involved. sen. nelson: name them. and i would be son rail would have to get back to you with the second to be honest. it escapes me at the moment. but essentially, they are ready -- when they have installed the wayside and they are ready to test with us and our locomotives, essentially our role being able to run on another railroad's ptc system is to have our locomotives ready. we will have our locomotives ready. we have to wait for their system to communicate with our. >> senator nelson, those railroads you wanted, sun rail is the southern most going into miami, you have csx and norfolk southern. those are the three. sen. nelson: ok. >> there is trite rail as well. sen. nelson: try rail is in south florida appeared it runs between west palm and miami. northil runs to orlando and south or orlan

while we work with the running railroads, i think the testing phase takes longer than what railroads assume. our analysis showed it takes one to three years to get industry testing, our concern is you don't want to short-term that base but at the same time, the clock is ticking for a lot of these railroads. putting the pressure on as everyone said. this is a big issue that we've highlighted in our work. >> are you familiar with the train? >> i have a high level of understanding. >> i'm just curious. if you can talk to me or all of us about, i appreciate the challenges that you face moving forward, but could you talk to me about what the implementation or compliance with the ptc mandate? might have for service in the future? >> essentially, between the host and the tenant. anywhere that's a rail requires pdc for them to run new service on the rail, would require them to run pdc. >> thank you. i know my time is running out, for the very certifications and waivers, what are you communicating to the railroads as far as timelines they should expect for your safety professionals to review a

it is the reason flagstaff is here. railroad depot was established and transportation was possible, in those days, that was the atlantic and pacific railroad. that is the reason for the founding of the town in 1882. soon after that, a chicago ader,trialist, edward h realized the production potential. this was right after the railroad got here. they began cutting trees and milling lumber. that went on for a long time as the city's principle interest. city'sand away, the major employer. producinghey were millions of feet of lumber to be shipped all over the country. that was the founding industry, along with the railroad. the other thing that the railroad provided an opportunity for was the shipment of livestock to mark, either in kansas, in texas, or california. my family, i think i mentioned, was in that livestock business fairly early on. the three founding industries lumberingailroad, the industry, and the livestock industry. railroad, see the busier than ever, sending upwards of 120 freight trains through flagstaff every day.

back down along the railroad. so lee things he will attack mcclellan and send jackson around on his flank so he can attack his troops as they are retreating but that's not what happens. where lee thinks he will be, he is not. his court is not where they think it will be so they blindly start searching and they suddenly discover them, porter's core at a place called -- we call it the battle of gainesville, even though it was about a mile from the actual battlefield. nonetheless what he found was an elevated plateau over the river that had a swamp in front of it so it provided a natural defensive barrier and his troops could be on the high ground and lee discovers the union line and about 1 pm, he starts launching attacks as soon as the first units arrived. this is what you see on this map. this is what comes from -- shameless plug -- the battle that i wrote on the battle of 70s. the maps here are the map made by brian wise who was a jogger free student, he did the excellent maps. this is the early afternoon, as you

the railroad creates the routes for them. then something like the moral act, it's always an afterthought when we talk about large legislation of 1862, it creates these centers of state authority. they do things like tell people what to grow and how to grow it. you think about the agriculture expansion agent. they represent government power when they are doing everything from canning clubs with people in the countryside and small towns, to ag extension agents with their bulletins. we had grasshoppers this year, this is how we deal with that. if you think about that type of everyday life, we think about creating public school systems from the very beginning. the northwest ordinance is created sections. there were sections 16 and 36. these were the sections that would be devoted to public education. this is the way of spatial lysing government control, and creating a nation out of very far-flung and remote places. >> i want to talk about the territories system. you brought that up. you did invoke jeffersons genius . this is a bl

the department of energy, at least we got closer than the railroad commission, but no offense, but the point is this is an extraordinary time in america. it's an extraordinary time in global history from an energy standpoint with what's going on we've seen the united states driving the lowering of emissions. >> are you allowed to do that? >> yeah. >> you know, it -- i tell people, i say the state of texas, the 12th largest economy in the world and we grew between 2001 and 2014 by a substantial amount. we added 7 million people with the population roles during that period of time and you know what 7 million people mean in texas and that's a lot of pickup trucks and the economy is good. oh, man. think about it, you know, the non-point source pollution had to be like going through the roof and we have the refining capacity on the gulf coast and the ozone. >> you didn't call president trump and say we got emissions up? >> because we didn't. during that period of time there was a 50% reduction and total carbon dioxide footprint down by almost 20% and the reason was this, number one, we also

same with the underground railroad. anybody caught or divulged any paper trail then the same thing would not be just one person, it could be a whole network of all of the railroad depots, conductors which would have been easy, especially with the laws in the 1850s to sweet these people up and charge them with federal crimes under the 1850 fugitive slave act. >> having brought up the -- from your studies of intelligence, and everything, do you think that the papers were bogus? to wipe out the confederate cabinet? >> that is a good question. one of the things i did not mention was that when he was killed, they found on his body, papers in which led confederate authorities to believe that he was under orders to burn the city of richmond. he was actually going to liberate union prisoners in the richmond prison. but he had orders to set fire to the city, capture the confederate cabinet and killed jefferson davis. this, of course, today the term would-be went viral. it became a source of contention. because abraham lincoln had

the department of energy, and at least we got closer than the railroad conditions. no offense. the point is, this is an extraordinary time in america. with what is going on, we've seen the united states driving the lowering of emissions. >> guest: i tell people the state of texas 12th largest economy in the world and we grew between 2001 for 2014 by the substantial amount. we added 7 million people to the population rose in texas during the period of time. you know 7 million people means in texas. that's a lot of pickup trucks. think about it. you know, the non-point source pollution had to be going through the roof. we've got all that refining capacity in the gold coast, the ozone. >> host: you can call president trump and say hey we got missions up? because we didn't. >> guest: the reality was 50% reduction, total carbon dioxide footprint down by almost 20%. the reason was this. number one, we also the nation in the production of wind energy. we produce more winded texas than all five countries. we also had some other things that gave incentives to change out from old ineffici

the coming of the railroad diminishes importance and peters out, and about the 1880s after the railroad. if you want to get a visceral understanding of what it is like to travel on the santa fe trail i would recommend a book by cheryl who went west in 1846 down the santa fe trail and it was mexico that she went to. she was an 18-year-old bride was pregnant and wrote in her diary. >> she was an amazing writer, right? >> yes, this kid. you felt every bump and turn and the carriage overturned at one point in this horrific crash and we were riding in a wagon. and she was writing with the enslaved made and it was -- maid and it was a big shock. she ends up miscarrying because of the rigor on the trail and what she meets and who she encounters along the way it is a stunning document i recommend because it is still in print and if you like those kind of frontier memoirs it is a good one. susan shelby mcglothlin was her name. she was a young kentucky bride going to new mexico and it was really difficult. you get a nightmare sense of entering the domain of war. which is what is happening at that

railroads? no. it has all the oil and gas underneath it, so department of energy, police we got closer than the railroad commission but no offense. but the point is, this is an extraordinary time in america. and historic time globally from an energy standpoint. with what's going on with you seen the united states driving the lowering of emissions when you think about speeders are you allowed to do that? >> you know, i tell people come i set the state of twix, 12th largest economy in the world, and we grew between 2001-2014 by this substantial amount. we added 7 million people to the population roles in texas during that time. you know what 7 million people meet in texas. that's a lot of pickup trucks. everybody goes and buys a pickup truck. think about it. solution had to be like going through the roof. we got all that refining capacity down on the gulf coast, ozone. >> you didn't call president trump at saint we cut emissions up? >> because we didn't. during that time emissions, 60%, 50% reduction, told carbon di

department of energy, at least we got closer than the railroad commission. no offense. but the point is, this is an extraordinary time in america. it's an extraordinary time in global history from an energy standpoint. with what's going on, we've seen the united states driving the lowering of emissions. when you think about -- >> are you allowed to do that? >> yeah. you know, it's -- i tell people, i said, the state of texas, 12th largest economy in the world, and we grew, between 2001 and 2014, by this substantial amount. we added 7 million people to the population rolls in texas during that period of time. you know what 7 million people means? texas? that's a lot of pickup trucks, right? everybody goes and buys a pickup truck because the economy's good and i can do this. >> lot of emissions. >> think about it. the nonpoint source pollution had to be just going through the roof. we got all that refining capacity down there on the gulf coast, the ozone. >> you didn't call president trump and say, hey, we got emissions up? >> because we didn't. the reality was that during

. >> , we are making judgments based on discussions on every and the very intendants we work with. >> thank you. railroads have expertise in operations and regional geography, both do not have employees well-trained and we talked about this before, and the intricacies of ptc. including short line railroad in minnesota, they brought this to my attention, this means they are relying on outside experts. and consultants to help them meet the ptc deadline. because of the high demand, some railroads have reported difficulty finding reliable d.c. consultants. in your reporting, have you found expertise to be a constraint on the railroad ability to meet their deadline? >> this continues to be a concern. particularly given the limited limited number of vendors. there are seven mentors out there that have expertise to help design the systems

it will be the transportation hub there at petersburg, all the railroads combining there and that one single line running north to richmond. ad targeted that beenine in what had butler's army of the james to sever the connection. butler failed to do so. he is going to be roundly criticized. bottled up. he certainly is not bottled up. it is one of those lines from grant, that is criticized. doesn't impact him as a general but butler is free to operate -- at 100. river ony cross the pontoon bridges. he demonstrates that on june 9, 1864, when he does attempt to capture petersburg by sending an expeditionary force that will be repulsed by the old men and boys of petersburg, but butler is certainly not bottled up. petersburg is going to soon be that objective of grant. this is yet another instance when one of grant's other generals is going to make his life more difficult. just as mcclellan had caused those defenses to be constructed, butler will once again demonstrate how weakly held they are to the confederate that june 9 failed attack is going to impact the june 15 attacks against peter

industry, the guy who put all the pork for the railroads in the senate bills, so you have the railroad industry funding the anti-suffrage campaign in connecticut. all kinds of weird little individual political undercurrents, state-by-state as women are trying to get it ratified. so like connecticut, there are a group of states that won't bring it to the vote at all. finally, it's down to two choices. north carolina or tennessee. given the way the south has been going, neither look like a great option. north carolina votes against. all down t tennessee -- to tennessee. august of 1920. everyone shows up in nashville. everyone. they all stay at the same hotel, the hermitage hotel in nashville. the pro-suffrage, anti-suffrage forces, the liquor lobby, anyone employing child labor, terrified of female voters. the anti-suffragists are trotting out 400-year-old civil war veterans to say, i did not fight for this country in order to have girls vote. [laughter] there is a suite called the jack daniels suite, with the liquor lobby getting everyone loaded all day long, and the national press corp

the petersburg railroad forces the confederate supply lines to run up the plank road. throughout the fall he will continue, grant is, to stretch the confederates out. each time the union makes their next move, confederates come out of the city to attack, fail to dislodge the union, forced to return and the lines continue to expand. the supply hub at city point is going to continue to send supplies by a military railroad that is constructed just behind the union position. so, soldiers here south of petersburg far better supply, testament to union logistics, than those in virginia that those confederates here in virginia. preservation note. just because it's something to take consideration of. the organization i volunteer with petersburg battlefield foundation. we are attempting to preserve sections of the secondary line that is going to enable this to be that safe pocket for supply. the confederate cavalry operates throughout here. they prove a real nuisance. they run and capture some cattle outside the union pockets, but they are not able to impact the flow of supply r

the transports which include, of course, the railroads, fed ex, ups, lot of the airlines down now the biggest percentage loser in the major indices down 3% or 346 points. then we can transition to the airlines. we have airport closures in the panhandle part of florida, anywhere near there. that started to affect airline stocks but what are we looking at there, jeff? >> well, i think you are also looking at the fact that there's potentially going to be higher oil prices. i don't consider, you know, along the lines of what are the effects of the tax cuts going to be in terms of how it affects transportation, the fact that tariffs could have a tremendous impact on transportations is something to be very, very concerned about, because a lot of the transportation companies become heavily dependent on things like basic materials and even consumer spending, and like charlie said and art was saying, i think what is a real concern is whether or not these tariffs increase consumer prices and consumers start spending less. the bottom line with the consumer, the consumer is the foundation, in my

they confirmed twice the railroad tracks were shut down. our cameras caught the train coming through and firefighters running to get out of the way. >> that was close. it shows our news fan approaching the man and to the right you see the moment a train comes through in six firefighters racing to get hoses off of the tracks and they have just too high for five seconds. >> we shut down the trash quite a bit and i've never had a train come through on a confirmed shutdown. it's the first. >> is contra costa county confirmed twice that the tracks were shut down. the train that came through was frumpy in effect. fire officials are opening an investigation into a near miss accident. >> during the later stages we confirmed with the railroad the tracks were shut down and we started operating. >> fire crews were here to start a fire fighter outside of a tire shop and quickly spread to other businesses. >> this is a tire shop entire business and we have a lot of chuck -- we have a lot of fires on the other side and for our -- from what our crews could

the currency new mexico is rugs, up with navajo lightning whiskey, by the time he died, the railroad was coming west and money culture was taking over the west. it is interesting to think about carson is a lot of people say, this ultimate american who was a blind follower of duty. he was a patriot who wanted to do what he did to advance americans, anglo-american culture. but i do not think that is true at all. misery --y from missouri to the new mexico territory. it was mexican territory. he was trying to get away from america. happiest years of his life were the years that he spent as a mountain man, living with the arapahoe. trapping beaver in the rivers of the remote american west. that was not a money culture. it produced money, obviously, it was a lucrative trade, but they lived a very different world. to understand carson really, his motivation of his life, it was not about being a patriot, it was about loyalty, coming back to this idea. tribal loyalty. this is how you survived when you were a mountain man. this is the code we talked about yesterday in the seminars about. the co

chinese for almost all of american history the chinese came to america to mine gold and build the railroads and americans decided we didn't like the competition so in one thousand nine hundred two we had the chinese exclusion act which kept the chaney's out of the united states for about one hundred years so you have the largest population in the world that can come to the united states so it just the point we're putting up the statue of liberty saying we welcome everybody we were wrecked in a wall saying we welcome everybody except those cheney's. fear of a rising china today is the latest chapter in the history of propaganda but president of the chinese as uncouth and infant teil. to western popular and political culture the chinese became the yellow peril. and racial stereotypes hold a constant theme. and threat. as the t.v. . show. was really. revel in so much stuff. so. this caricature of an entire people concealed another agenda. for the american to lead to in the nineteenth century china was a goldmine of drugs. war in delano the grandfather of franklin delano roosevelt was the ameri

by the time he died, the railroad was coming west. the money culture was taking over the west. the thing about carson's, many people say, he was the ultimate american who was a blind follower of duty. he was a patriot who wanted to do what he did to advance anglo- american culture. in fact, i don't think it's true at all. he ran away from missouri to the new mexico territory. it wasn't even a territory yet. it was still mexican territory. he was trying to get away from america. the happiest years of his life for the years that he spent as a mountain man, living with the arapahoe. he lived with these breezy french dudes trapping beaver and the rivers of the remote american west. that was not a money culture. obviously it produced money. it was a lucrative trade. he lived in a different world. to understand carson, his motivation, his life is not about being a patriot. his life is about loyalty. this was individual loyalty and tribal loyalty. this is how you survive as a man-to-man. this was the code we talked about yesterday and some of the seminars. we talked about the code of

to have the railroad tracks shut down. it's on an elevated platform. >> reporter: he owns a boot camp gym right next to the tire shop. he woke up to missed calls and text messages, telling him about the bad news. his building is significantly damaged, but he's trying his best to stay optimistic. >> our biggest mantra, there is no excuses. so kind of -- something doesn't have to be your fault to take ownership of it. so it's just going to be another challenge and in a weird way, it's kind of embraced. >> reporter: thankfully, there were no injuries to firefighters or civilians. but we're showing you guys the railroad tracks, because a firefighter actually almost got hit while battling the fire there. thankfully, he wasn't hurt. but, of course, the cause of this fire is still under investigation. live here in oakley, pete suratos, nbc bay area news. >> busy morning out there. thanks so much, pete. >>> pressure is growing on the president this morning to be more outspoken about the disappearance of a "washington post" writer

that which then led to the railroads, and the railroads created this whole different west that he never really wanted to be a part of. it was clear by the end of his life that he was done with this new west. he did not understand this new west. yet he was central to the creation of this west. he fouled his own nest, he destroyed his own paradise. i think the ultimate part of the tragedy is he didn't fully realize that. he did not fully see it until the very end of his life that he had been a central figure in the destruction of this world that he loved so much. ed: we have a few over here. >> there is an anecdote that i think might have been told in kit carson's autobiography. he was helping the army chasing some indians who had captured a white woman. when they finally arrived, the woman had already died. among her affects he found a "blood and thunder" pulp novel about kit carson. would you talk a little bit about his reaction to that? hampton: great question. this was the moment, as far as i could tell, that kit carson first encountered his own myth. the time he first became aware of

who created, the railroads. the national parks? it was the railroads. they did it for totally profit reasons. they wanted to control, the northern pacific controlled yellowstone. all the major parks have that. >> i realize that that was a hard question to answer quickly. >> yes, a lot of points. from terry who has headed up an organization and bozeman content and to develop free enterprise solutions to environmental problems, so well said, i would say this. very good point about native years, going for 10,000 , and not10,000 years eating up the contents of the petri dish in the american west. they did that in the aftermath, however, of an extraordinary collapse that was even larger than the one we confronted in the 19th century, which we called the plasticine extinctions. whether you believe native people participated, and they probably did, they did witness it. it is something like the way the pueblo indians in the southwest responded to the collapse in the 12th and 13th centuries. with whole new strategies after suffering this tremendous disaster that

least we of energy, at got closer than the railroad commission. .o offense this is an extraordinary time in is ana will stop it extraordinary time in global history from an energy standpoint with what is going on. we have seen the united states driving the lowering of emissions. are you allowed to do that? sec. perry: i tell people, the 7ate of texas, we added million people to the population to texas. that means a lot of pickup trucks. think about it. nonpoint source pollution had to be going through the roof. we have all of the refining capacity on the gulf coast. call donald trump and say we have emissions of? sec. perry: we didn't. reduction,%, 60% total carbon dioxide footprint down. the reason is number one we led the nation in the production of wind energy. we produce more wind in texas then all five countries. we have other things that gave incentives to change from old, inefficient engines. we had a massive switchover from old power plants to natural gas plants. that drove emissions down. this can happen in the world. it is happening in the united states. we had a 14% reduction
