PNR first rail track
manila-dagupan 1891
Panay Railway Inc. connecting what city
iloilo city to roxas city in Capiz
task and objective of rail infrastructure
- ensure safe operation of rolling stock at the scheduled speed
- afford conditions for the highest quality transport
- to contribute to a sustainable development
Loading and unloading areas along a public transport route are called for vehicles
stops
Loading and unloading areas along a public transport route are called for trains
stations
In the railway mode therefore, management of the operation of the facility mainly consists of
track maintenance
The management of train operations involving the control of train movements along the tracks, terminals and stations is part of the____________ of the carrier or train services.
operational aspects
became positive factor in the development of high speed rail systems as it confers direct accessibility to core business activities
centrality of rail stations
did not have to be centrally located, because they required a great deal of space for multiple tracks for marshaling, they were more likely located on greenfield sites
freight terminals
tended to attract manufacturing activities able to use the distribution capabilities of rail, and many adjacent areas became important industrial zones
rail yard
these rail terminals are linked with extractive such as agriculture, mining, wood products
bulk
generally designed to be commodity specific
terminals
used to transport vehicles such as cars, trucks, construction equipment
roll-on/roll-off
involves handling of various cargoes that can be bagged, in drums, rolls or crates. Commonly related to specific activity such as manufacturing plant or a warehouse handling break-bulk cargo and services dedicated rail spurs
breakbulk
the function of loading and unloading unitized freight from railcars
intermodal
dramatically expanded the intermodal productivity of rail terminals since it permits quick loading and unloading sequences but at the expense of more trackside space available.
intermodal
the function of assembling, sorting, and breaking of freight trains
shunting
