		<description><![CDATA[(NEWARK, N.J.) — When Amtrak unveils the first of 70 new locomotives Monday at a plant in California, it will mark what the national passenger railroad service hopes will be a new era of better reliability, streamlined maintenance and better energy efficiency. On a broader scale, the new engines could well be viewed as emblematic of the improving financial health of Amtrak, which has long been dependent on subsidies from an often reluctant Congress. More than 31 million passengers rode Amtrak in the 2012 fiscal year, generating a record $2.02 billion in ticket revenue. Amtrak says it will be able to pay back a $466 million federal loan for the locomotives over 25 years using net profits from the Northeast Corridor line, where ridership hit a record high last year for the ninth time in 10 years. &#8220;This is not the same organization it was a few years ago, still hoping and relying on federal handouts, limping from appropriation to appropriation,&#8221; said Robert Puentes, a senior fellow in the Brooking Institution&#8217;s metropolitan policy program. &#8220;Even though Washington is mired in debt and dysfunction, Amtrak is reinventing itself.&#8221; The new engines will be used on the Northeast Corridor between Washington, D.C., and Boston and on Keystone Corridor trains that run between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa. Three will be unveiled Monday before being sent out for testing. The first is due to go into service by this fall, and all 70 are expected to be in service by 2016. Amtrak awarded the contract in 2010 to Munich-based Siemens AG, which has made a big investment in the American rail industry over the last decade. The company makes about one of every three light rail vehicles in North America and is building light rail vehicles for Minneapolis, Houston and San Diego at the Sacramento plant where Amtrak&#8217;s locomotives are being produced. Among the improvements in the new locomotives are computers that can diagnose problems in real time and take corrective action and a braking system capable of generating 100 percent of the energy<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=120308&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(NEWARK, N.J.) — Two airplanes taxiing while preparing for takeoff at Newark Liberty International Airport clipped each other, authorities said. No one was injured when the planes touched around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at one of the nation&#8217;s busiest airports, Federal Aviation Administration officials said. A Scandinavian Airlines plane&#8217;s left wing clipped the tail of a United Airlines plane while they were on a taxiway. Scandinavian Airlines Flight 908, bound for Oslo, Norway, was directly behind ExpressJet Flight 4226, destined for Nashville, Tenn., on the taxiway and was turning right to get onto another taxiway when its wing clipped the ExpressJet plane&#8217;s tail, officials said. The ExpressJet plane was towed back to the gate, and the Scandinavian Airlines plane taxied back to the gate, where passengers disembarked, New York&#8217;s WNBC-TV reported. The accident is being investigated. Scandinavian Airlines, which has hubs in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, didn&#8217;t immediately respond to telephone messages and emails seeking comment. ExpressJet Airlines released a statement Wednesday night saying it is &#8220;working in coordination with officials to determine a cause.&#8221; All 31 passengers on the plane were re-accommodated, the airline said. ExpressJet, which bills itself as the world&#8217;s largest regional airline, operates as a United Express partner from United&#8217;s Newark hub. United, which has headquarters in Chicago, is part of United Continental Holdings Inc.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=118832&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
