Conrail & GIS

Conrail presented both track investment opportunities and decisions as a maps from the beginning.

Conrail undertook a GPS project to map all mainlines as a basis for accurately monitoring rail wear and defect occurrences.

Conrail used dispatching data to accurately track tonnage by track.

Conrail began developing a GIS as a part of the rehabilitation planning process in 1977.

Database driven maintenance books replaced hand drawn graphicsIn the late ’70’s as a byproduct of intense investment analysis.

Conrail is a terminal and switching railroad.

Conrail is a wholly owned subsidiary of Norfolk Southern and CSX

Conrail operates in North Jersey, South Jersey / Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southeastern Michigan

Conrail is not the same railroad formed by congress in 1976.

The new organization is much smaller and has very different needs.

Yards and terminal areas are the majority of Conrails operations

No historic yardstick by which to measure or manage.

Conrail today is 8600 acres of land, ~1200 employees and ~route miles.

One foot aerials were used to register CAD based property maps.

A Property usage book was created by intersection of a land usage map

and Conrail polygons.

One time and recurring cost make application of the technology possible

◆Cost of GPS Unit - $500 ◆ Recurring monthly cost$40/month or $480 Annually

Trimble GPS Device

We used ARCMap to analyze feasability data.

Lat-Lon has given us a manageable geofence event

Sometimes the customer geography requires multiple fences.

Conrail has realized the folling benefits from GPS technology :

◆ Customer Service has utilized the GPS technology to respond to customer requests for shipment information.

◆ Improvements in Asset utilization have been made and continue with more extensive analysis of GPS and Crew information regarding locomotives and crew consolidations.

◆ Increases in efficiency have been recognized with Train crew overtime reductions.

◆ GPS-based data collection allows management to monitor locomotive shutdown compliance which reduces fuel usage.

Next steps.

Continue to develop the customer service model

Locomotive maintenance and fuel management

Highway equipment management

GPS equipped radios to monitor training and execution
