    Abstract: A railway facility with high throughput loop track includes a series of adjacent parallel staging tracks connected to a main line to receive and depart trains, arranged in a path so that trains transverse around the railway facility. A balloon loop track, which includes a loading or unloading facility, is connected to the staging tracks loops and reverses the direction of the train so that upon completion of loading or unloading a train can depart or be re-staged without requiring repositioning or turning of locomotives. Staging tracks are included for staging both arriving and departing trains. In alternative embodiments transload tracks and at-grade access roads allow storage and retrieval of cargo to interior space within the staging tracks, and an escape track allows expedited exit of trains from the balloon loop track.

    Abstract: One embodiment of an automated system for carrying passengers between airport terminal or concourse facilities and parked aircraft is shown. The embodiment comprises PRT guideways (13, 14, 15, 23, 27), vehicles (21) and stations (22). Some PRT stations are linked to parked aircraft (11) or aircraft parking positions by means of conventional loading bridges (12), while others are linked to terminal or concourse buildings (15). Other embodiments are described and shown. The embodiments provide a high level of service while reducing the need to construct terminal or concourse buildings adjacent to each aircraft parking position.

    Abstract: This invention relates to the design of marshalling yard with up-grade speed control system. The principal difference between this yard and the conventional marshalling yard with down-grade only profile is described hereunder. Unlike the already known yard in which many speed control devices are installed on a down-grade to consume excess energy of cuts, the yard in the invention has hump height designed by taking operating conditions of moderate runners as a base and is provided with at least one up-grade speed control unit consisting of one up-grade section and a necessary number of boosters and retarders on the down-grade profile. This up-grade control unit could convert excess energy of cuts into potential energy. The invention could raise hump operating capacity of marshalling yard at a considerably reduced cost.
