Administrative Support to Commuter Rail Conversion Project

Starfire provided substantial managerial and organizational support to a mid-western passenger car shop in the conversion of some bi-level commuter rail cars for a large metropolitan city transit authority. The project included repairs and updates to some Bombardier/UTDC built cab cars and coach cars that had previously been in revenue service in Canada and the western United States. The overall project also included four F59PH locomotives. Starfire's activities in the project included initial pre-project development of production and modification schedule for the entire project (in Gantt chart form). This work was transferred to the passenger car shop for completion once they had resources available. Starfire was also involved in support of the passenger messaging and communication system design development.
