Alameda corridor
The Alameda corridor (British: Alameda Corridor, ATAX, Alameda corridor) is a pike binding a distribution base, Los Angeles railroad terminal in the east of the downtown of California Los Angeles of the United States of America and Los Angeles port and port of Long Beach together. It is the route for the freight train for 20 miles of extension (approximately 32 kilometers) to pass in a canal made parallel to Alameda highway, and it should be said with "the expressway" for the freight train (the general railroad can run). An owner Alameda corridor Transit Authority (British: the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority, ACTA). While BNSF railroad (BNSF) and Union Pacific Railroad (I improve) pay the track fee for use, I use it jointly. The fee for use is 30 dollars per one container, empty container 8 dollars, tank car one 8 dollars.

Process of the construction
It was the starting point of the railway freight for the United States, and the Los Angeles railroad terminal that was one end of this route was a harbor of the scales that the freight traffic occupied 70% of the harbor of for 1 and the West Coast for U.S. three minutes when two already full-fledged harbors had a container terminal of the world eminence and added it up and boasted of the first place, the world third place to.
Therefore the carriage of goods between both points was prosperous conventionally, but the section became the bottleneck. Such as a single line and facilities being old, and the railroad receiving a limit to the driving number in the daytime to run a city area; had a problem. Because the speed of the freight train which 1 mile in length もにも extended to was slow, I invited the traffic jam that the time when a railroad crossing closed became long, and was intense (the railroad crossing state which is not open). Improvement of the distribution speed was demanded from a shipper, and it was expected that the container traffic of both harbors increased to 3 times in 30 years. In addition, there was much transportation by the truck, and the pollution with the exhaust was brought into question as well as a railroad. It is this route to have been planned to solve these problems radically.
Conventionally, as for the pike which linked both points, there were 4 routes of the route (BNSF harbor subdivision) of BNSF which greatly detoured around current Alameda corridor and a route of the route of the Southern Pacific railroad (SP.existing affiliation to improve it) of the about the same route was parallel to two and the east side, improving it, the west. The total extension became 90 miles (approximately 144 kilometers). In addition, the route of the SP was relatively a short distance, but speed was slow with mean 10 - 20MPH (approximately 16-32 kilometers per an hour) to run in the city area. I made these a bypass in a lump.
The construction of this route was a thing as President Bill Clinton called it "an important national project", and the construction costs were 2,400 million dollars on a scale of the second place in the United States. 10 miles for the central part equal to half widened the Alameda highway which was the road for the car in all 20 miles and I established the canal in the center of the up and down line and laid a track line. This dug into the grade crossing with the road 33 feet (10 meters) mainly for the purpose of losing it, and calls it a trench. As for the width of the trench, 3 flights are established in 50 feet (15 meters). 3 miles of Los Angeles railroad terminal sides and 7 miles of harbor side run on the ground, but it is a grade separation with the road.
There was the plan from the early 1980s and started an investigation in 1982, and ACTA was established in 1989. Los Angeles Port Authority and Long Beach Port Authority bought one of two routes along the Alameda Street for 400 million dollars from SP (improving purchases it in 1996) in December, 1994. SP parts with this route that importance is very high in as the railroad laying right and oneself pays the track fee for use after new line construction and operates a train, and the decision of the SP to run the train of BNSF which is originally a rival on the again route is evidence of this project having been the thing of the national scale.
I started construction in the spring of 1997 and was completed in 2002. For construction, the job creation of local inhabitants receives the U.S. Government, a state government, a county, both ports, both railroad companies, the support from a citizen with the maintenance of the transport infrastructure financially to carry it out in total. The total cost of construction was 2,458 million dollars.
I started business on April 15, 2002, and 35 trains a day passed it. The traffic jam of the Long Beach freeway dissolved immediately. 5,434 trains ran for four months in the first half of 2005 and transported freight equal to 900,000 trucks.
Refinement by the Alameda corridor opening to traffic
I describe numerical value after the opening to traffic if before the opening to traffic as follows.
- The transportation capacity from both harbors to the Los Angeles railroad terminal per day increases from 20-35 to 100 (2020 possibility)
- The thing that the arrival time from both harbors to the Los Angeles railroad terminal might be over two hours 30 minutes in the case of SP (they improve) decreases for approximately 45 minutes. In the case of BNSF, the thing which took 3-4 hours decreases for 30 minutes.
- The thing that the mean speed of the train was 5 - 20MPH is improved by 30 - 40MPH
- The number of the container handling in both harbors is increased from 8 million TEU by 24 million TEU (2020 possibility)
- I abolish the grade crossing railroad crossings which were 209 places totally
- 90% of delays of the general traffic decrease
- 28% of body wastes from a railroad decrease
- 90% of noise of the railroad decreases
- The idling discharge at the intersection of the car decreases largely
- The employment of 1,500 10,500 people in total was effective in 9,000 people, a specialty, a technique by construction
- 700,000 people received an indirect effect in the harbor
In addition, in 3 routes except the Alameda corridor which links both harbors to the Los Angeles railroad terminal, the train which I loaded with the general cargo such as a formation product or raw materials is operated. Alameda corridor is the route that both Port Authority acquired, but becomes the form lending to ACTA for free.
Future plan
Electrification plan
Cult Lance and Los Angeles county urban area Traffic Bureau of the Los Angeles Port announced the electrification plan to reduce から particulate matter along the line.
Alameda yeast
If trains using Alameda corridor increase by the development of the harbor, the freight train operated for the eastern part of the United States increases only it. A route toward the east becomes the narrow path from result, the Los Angeles railroad terminal and becomes a cause to increase the traffic jam of the road at the plane intersecting railroad crossing again. It is thought that the range extends to 80 miles from the Los Angeles railroad terminal to the east, and there is a plan to extend Alameda corridor in the section.
I connect a huge switchyard of improving of Vernon and the commerce and the switchyard under construction near sun burner Dino, and it is thought about by this plan tying it to Bath toe and the switchyard of コーチェラ later.
