Subject: Implementing Fuel Conservation Initiatives

 

This is to communicate reinstating fuel efficiency initiatives on the Fallbridge subdivision.

 

In support of our 2019 expense reduction goals, Transportation leadership and Fuel Management have jointly identified this subdivision for implementing additional fuel conservation initiatives.

 

Effective 5/13/2019, locomotive isolation and throttle limiting as instructed on work orders is being restored for trains on the Fallbridge subdivisions to operate at, but not below, their Scheduled HPTs.

In addition, 5/50 throttle limiting is being restored on this subdivision as outlined in ABTH 106.7 item 2. (Note that Z, F, passenger trains, and trains with expedited service banners are exempted from this.  Further, trains using Trip Optimizer in Auto Control will automatically adhere to this limit.)

 

I appreciate your assistance communicating this to your teams.

Thanks,

Doug.
