This essay will encounter The Long Island Rail Road first years making. The rail road was developed because the rail roads planners wanted to expand a way to get to Boston. In order for this view to happen, the service needed to make rail-road through Long Island, so they made the LIRR with the help of legislature supplying the money with 1,500,000$. This caused for New York or Brooklyn to be linked to Boston. Even though the money was good start for making the rail road, it was still very difficult to make so they to find ways to make it more efficient.
The strategy behind the high-speed railway system would be to relieve highway congestion, air traffic congestion, and help reduce the necessity of expansion of highways and air systems (which is limited due to the inability to build new air space). Also, with this type of system (this system works on magnetic levitation), you would have a significant reduction in air pollution that would result as high-speed captures a large portion of the intercity travel market from automobiles and airlines.
Since Southern Light is a private company, information on the actual mining businesses who they receive their minerals from is kept secret away from the public. For the capital, since the business is expanding again, they would need a factory to build the fiber optic cables in, tools such as forklift, and such to design, build, and maintain fiber optic structures, vehicles for transportation of goods and to customers, and more. For labor, human resources are needed for building the fiber optic cables, transferring and installing them into their customer’s homes, businesses, and others. Southern Light has around 51 to 200 employees across the Gulf Coast and could be growing when the expansion begins. The entrepreneur of the production is the guy who brings all them together to make the business profitable. This guy is Eric Daniels, the Southern Light’s Chief Operating Officer. All four of the factors of production land, entrepreneur, labor and capital is the major contributors of Southern Light. Each factor of production played a vital role in that business development and growth. The services that this Inc. 500 company provides can greatly help the community. Banks and other government agencies will be provided with a private line, high-speed broadband Internet to send data back and forward up to 10 gigabits wired or wireless connection for each customer.

The average offer price per share as a multiple of EPS for recent railroad acquisitions is 17.22 times. If we multiply that by Conrail's expected EPS for 1997 of $5.69 we get an offer price per share of $97.98. This is substantially higher than the front-end cash offer from CSX of $92.50. We also looked at enterprise value as a multiple of EBITDA. The average for recent railroad acquisitions is and enterprise value of 10.58 times EBITDA. Conrail's EBITDA for the last four quarters is $1,017 million. This calculation gives us an enterprise value of $10,760 million. We calculated the two-tiered offer to be $8,185 million from CSX in Appendix 3. This is significantly lower than the estimated enterprise value calculated based on
The rail systems put into place in Chicago have always been a major factor in freight transportation. The city provides a centralized hub for the railways throughout the country. After a long run the system is bound to find flaws as old technologies are passed by new ones. The existing railroad structures have in time taken a toll over the years of service. “The railroad system of Chicago has been around for a long time now. After many years it has gone past time time of despair. With the new project it is hoping to bring the popularity back to where it once was” (Chicago Transit Renovation to Improve Service). This update needed will guide Chicagos railroad system into the future. The city also has to take a look on how it is going to keep up with the constant increase of railcars on their tracks. With the new technologies of the future Chicago can only make their infrastructure better. The aim is to stay on time with the railcars to diminish the amount of overcrowding presented in the old rail systems in Chicago.
In December of 1947, there was a “World’s Fair of vending machines” in Chicago with over 5,000 attendees.

The National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) continues to hold big conventions annually for companies in the business, from the well-known soda corporations to unheard of companies manufacturing and managing the machines all around us. Today the vending machine business is approximately a thirty billion dollar industry (Atkins 2016). Most people do not give the large quiet boxes very much thought but the development of vending machines has
For years, Southwest Airlines has been experiencing stable costs, low fares and traffic stimulation. However, the latest changes in the marketplace (See Exhibit 1: SWOT Analysis), including the higher energy costs and the entrance of new low fare/cost carriers are threatening the future of the airline. As a result, LUV needs to decide whether or not to acquire the slots and gates from the bankrupt ATA Airlines at LaGuardia (LGA) terminal in New York City (NYC) in order to expand its capabilities.
