New England Central gets new welded rail - TRAINS Magazine
PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The L.B. Foster Co. has begun delivery of 28,500 tons of 115-pound welded rail to New England Central Railroad. The rail will be used to upgrade approximately 140 miles of track. The track improvements are part of the Federal Railroad Administration’s High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program award to the State of Vermont and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The new rail will improve the speed of the Vermont-sponsored Amtrak Vermonter passenger service and add capacity for freight.
