US 278.svg U.S Route 278 Amtrak has argued that it needs to increase capital program costs in 2013 in order to replace old train equipment because the multi-year maintenance costs for those trains exceeds what it would cost to simply buy new equipment that would not need to be repaired for several years However despite an initial request for more than $2.1 billion in funding for the year the company had to deal with a year-over-year cut in 2013 federal appropriations dropping to under $1.4 billion for the first time in several years Amtrak stated in 2010 that the backlog of needed repairs of the track it owns on the Northeast Corridor included over 200 bridges most dating to the 19th century tunnels under Baltimore dating to the American Civil War era and functionally obsolete track switches which would cost $5.2 billion to repair (more than triple Amtrak's total annual budget) Amtrak's budget is only allocated on a yearly basis and it has been argued by Joseph Vranich that this makes multi-year development programs and long-term fiscal planning difficult if not impossible.[page needed]. The track guides the conical flanged wheels keeping the cars on the track without active steering and therefore allowing trains to be much longer than road vehicles the rails and ties are usually placed on a foundation made of compressed earth on top of which is placed a bed of ballast to distribute the load from the ties and to prevent the track from buckling as the ground settles over time under the weight of the vehicles passing above, The Cincinnati Red Stockings established in 1869 as the first openly all-professional baseball team voted to dissolve after the 1870 season Player-manager Harry Wright with brother George and two other Cincinnati players then went to Boston Massachusetts at the invitation of Boston Red Stockings founder Ivers Whitney Adams to form the nucleus of the Boston Red Stockings a charter member of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (NAPBBP) the original Boston Red Stockings team and its successors can lay claim to being the oldest continuously playing team in American professional sports (The only other team that has been organized as long the Chicago Cubs did not play for the two years following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.)

University rankings Goods station in Lucerne Switzerland In Central Europe a small area of humid subtropical climates are located in transitional areas between the oceanic and continental climates in areas where higher summer temperature do not quite qualify it for inclusion in the Oceanic climate schema (but in the Trewartha climate classification this type of climate is included in that typical of the other areas of central-west Europe classified as Do -the Temperate Oceanic climate-) and mild winters do not allow their inclusion into continental climates such as Serbia Average summer temperatures in areas of Europe with this climate are generally not as hot as most other subtropical zones around the world. *In 2012 voters in Macon and Bibb County approved the consolidation of the City of Macon and unincorporated Bibb County; they officially merged on January 1 2014 Macon joined Columbus Augusta and Athens as consolidated cities in Georgia.
