    Extractions: When Abbot Kinney was building Venice in 1905, he decided that his new resort should have an internal transportation system to shuttle visitors and residents around town. He turned to John J. Coit who operated a successful eighteen inch gauge (1/3rd scale) miniature steam railroad at Eastlake Park (now Lincoln Park) in Los Angeles. He persuaded him to oversee the construction and management of a mile and three quarter long railroad that would take passengers from the Windward Avenue business district on a loop across canal bridges and through the canaled residential district, then return via a loop up Washington Boulevard, past its Lake Avenue maintenance yard and back to the Windward station along Mildred Avenue. Coit, who had designed his own locomotive, ordered a heavier Prairie 2-6-2 oil burning engine at a cost of $4510 from the Johnson Machine Works in Los Angeles. The locomotive was finished in black with brass rails and silver lettering. The first set of five, 12 passenger cars was painted royal blue, while the second set ordered later was painted cherry red. Work on laying the tracks on the city streets, however, was delayed while Kinney awaited the Ocean Park's Board of Trustees to grant him permission. Coit, in the meantime, constructed a storage and maintenance year along Lake Avenue (now Venice Boulevard where it intersects Abbot Kinney Blvd). He built a three stall engine house, 20 foot diameter turntable, oil and water tanks, a two-track storage shed for the passenger cars, and a machine shop capable of servicing and repairing the locomotives and cars.

98. Texas Transportation Institute
    Official research agency for the Texas Department of transportation and the Texas railroad Commission, devoted to solving transportation problems.  
    http://tti.tamu.edu/
    
    Extractions: Texas leads the nation in the number of fatalities and injuries in highway construction work zones. However, the construction sites themselves aren't necessarily the cause. In Texas, contributing factors include a longer construction season and more highways under construction at any given time. Also, in a majority of cases, driver inattention and carelessness within construction sites contribute significantly to safety problems. Visibility and a driver's ability to easily detect upcoming work zones are critical safety issues. The sooner drivers become aware of highway construction sites, the sooner they can maneuver safely through them. Research sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) is revealing helpful techniques that improve safety for workers and increase visibility of work zones for motorists.
