#Summit Rail Advisors Much has been said about CSX’s Investor Day, and as best I can tell from a distance, I agree with Tony Hatch’s description of the event as “the best of the modern era”. The presentation deck is available on the “News & Events” heading under Investors on the CSX website and is suggested reading for railroaders and customers who want to focus on good railroading and the results that come from that approach. Today I want to highlight page 36 and give a HUGE shout out to CSX for borrowing a concept that I have coached people on for years: driving opportunities using a “What is Possible” approach. I am a deep believer in approaching markets and customers from this perspective. We have too many conversations full of tactical updates and current problems, and don’t show a lot of interest or energy to explore. How many conversations have you been in that by the time we cover intros, updates, and problems, the hour is up and it’s time to go, without getting to strategic discussions, long-term plans or “what if”’s. We need to enter with an open mind instead of carrying with us assumptions of what we can’t do and beliefs about what the customer wants, and we need customers to join the journey. Let’s have conversations that are centered on open-end questions with the goal of learning and finding opportunities: - Where does that come from? Are they rail-served or can they be? - Have you thought about building your new tank over there by the siding so you have the option of rail? - What is important to you that we never talk about or seem to value properly? A What is Possible mind-set! CSX “gets it” by being cross-functional, urgent and including vision (!!!). The bottom line can be shown by CSX realizing that What is Possible yields connections, solutions and GROWTH. Congratulations to CSX, and I hereby allow them to join the What is Possible movement, and even upgrade it to the Art of the Possible! 😄

𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨 – 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐱 🛤️😎🌉 🕸️Railway infrastructure is sprawling, numerous and complex. Keeping track of all this specialized, highly cost-intensive equipment can be a challenge! That’s why today, we want to highlight a neat feature of Infralife: The Asset Portfolio. 🗃️ Our Asset Portfolio gives you a matrix overview of your railway assets, grouped both by function as well as organizational or political location. You can quickly navigate to your asset class – say, “bridges” and a desired subclass like “pedestrian crossing”. By expanding the organizational axis, you’ll see their location within your network and with a click, you’ll get a detailed list of the subgroup. 🕶️The Asset Portfolio gives both a broad overview of your total number of assets and a detailed view of their structure, which connects directly to their digital twins in the database. Use it to create reports, see the Matrix behind your network and realize – there is no spoon. (But lots of neatly organized tracks, masts, switches and more! 😉) #3BInfra #Infralife #AssetManagement #AssetPortfolio #Rail #Railway #Infrastructure #RailInfrastructure #RailIndustry #SoftwareSolution

CSX takes a page out of Conrail Shared Assets Organization, with this move. Back around 2009 CSAO embarked on modernization to the former Pennsylvania Railroad Pavonia Yard in Camden, NJ. Most of the hump would be reduced to a pusedo “mini-hump”. A few changes were in order. Track switches were upgraded to electric, with GPS, and kiosks, installed throughout the facility to line/monitor switches position, alongside rolling stock location. At the time CSAO was able to operate with a single Remote Control Operator. Not sure if this is still the case. Yet it maybe as Pavonia is a far cry from its fromer classification capability. It has been said for a hump yard to be cost effective, a minimum of 800 cars/day are to be classified. Anything long term average below that, means converting to a flat yard. However this is all dependent on downstream yard capacity, and throughput. Any projects to remove humps should take into serious consideration these effects, plus any future projected growth. Union Pacific learned this the hard way back in 1997, when it closed the hump at Strang Yard in La Porte, TX. Considerable carload traffic was, is generated locally. Something UP failed to take into account. UP tried to shoehorn Starngs hump capacity into nearby Englewood in Houston, TX. UP was warned by numerous former SP officials, that such a move would strangle the Houston terminal with even greater terminal consequences. Well for those of you who remember this, it caused UP to meltdown from Texas all the way to the West Coast. With effects felt to the North as well. CSX’s move here may be an indicator of futre yard conversion. Where it makes sense from a throughput standpoint. Classification yards employ mechanical devices called retarders, that control railcar speed into the bowl. Railroads tend to eliminate the cost of maintenance on these units by removal. However if the Class 1’s, ever decide to develop a “smart railcar” with private car owners. Could you potentially eliminate retarders at classification yards? How about controlling the railcars speed via its own brakes? Done by way of a yard wi-fi network, perhaps expanding PTC to cover terminals as well, could foster this? Fully automated couplers to eliminate pin pullers? Perhaps automatic bleeding of air? The possibility is there. https://lnkd.in/eXTfJYqf
