Abstract:Maintenance and layover facilities are vital in operating and maintaining passenger rail systems. This research project is interested in the decision-making criteria for locating such facilities and how those criteria impact the performance of the rail system. This research project looks at the locations and the types of most recently-built rail maintenance and layover facilities in the United States. It also looks at the criteria that influenced construction in those locations. The research developed a list of location criteria and analyze which criteria influenced performance and how in those locations. Finally, the research project recommends location criteria based on the system’s goals. These recommendations will influence future planning documents such as the California State Rail Plan and the Caltrans Rail Fleet Management Plan as well as location decisions.
