Dear Vern, We, members of Group 7, feel it is proper to express our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support during our research phase of the proposed Engineering Feasibility Study of Rail-Based Automobile Transport. Through the bureaucratic maze of our research, your guidance and provision of some useful resources through the Integrated. Travel platforms were instrumental. The information given us allowed us to consider several technical, logistic, and infrastructural conditions essential for rail-based transportation. The extra effort made in explaining the research aims and the help in answering our questions helped to embark on the work with confidence. We particularly enjoyed the application of a structured approach, as well as all the detailed information regarding the aspects particularly important to us at the moment, such as regulations, and technology integration. These insights aided us in structuring our research in a broad perspective yet a specific approach. Many thanks for your dedicated involvement and the efforts that you have made to help us with this work. Once again was wishing for more ample occasions to work together. Warm regards, Paloma Galindo Group 7 Logistics and Transportation Management University Canada West

The "Important Emphasis and Focus" section effectively highlights critical aspects of the project, such as infrastructure development, sustainability, funding, and technological innovation, providing a solid foundation for understanding the plan's importance. The conclusion is concise and reinforces the project's alignment with Alberta's goals for sustainability, economic growth, and regional connectivity. To enhance the section, incorporating more specific data or examples could strengthen the emphasis on the benefits of proposed initiatives. Additionally, addressing potential challenges and mitigation strategies in the conclusion would provide a more comprehensive outlook.

I worked on the "15-Year Capital Plan for Improved Inter-City Transportation Services in Alberta," focusing on researching rail infrastructure and conducting a cost-benefit analysis of rail investment. This experience gave me insights into Alberta’s transportation challenges and the potential for sustainable development. Working with my team enhanced my research and analytical skills, highlighting the importance of collaboration in addressing complex transportation issues.

It was relatively useful to work with it Integrated Travel Research and Development on the Calgary-Livingston rail scrutinizing. They contributed relevant research and information, which facilitated the assessment of the project. I would like to thank Vern Raincock for the support he was providing all the time.

This project is exciting to reestablish public rail service to the US and Canada, specifically focusing around the Rocky Mountain region. Vern was great to work with, and his team was always available to help the team with questions.

It was a great working experience with the company. Got to learn a lot.

This was a good working project, and I loved the team effort we put in towards addressing this assignment. We were able to generate a specific and very realistic 15 year capital plan because each team member brought in the vital skills with which he had been endowed. The ability to engage with real-world stakeholders allowed through Riipen increased the sense of relevance of the project and was beneficial. This was done by delegating tasks, setting up briefing meetings often to ensure we were on the same page and encouraging one another to meet our deadlines.

Great topics.
