Making Tracks in Alabama and Mississippi
Alabama
Project overview
The proposed project was selected for Project Development, Final Design, and Construction and includes track rehabilitation and improvement on the Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway and the Eastern Alabama Railway in Alabama and Mississippi. The project will replace rail, ties, turnouts, and ballast, surface the track, modernize signals and communications, rehabilitate 34 at-grade crossings, and install trespassing signage. The project aligns with the selection criteria by enhancing safety, improving system and service performance, and improving reliability as the project will rehabilitate aging rail infrastructure that has exceeded its useful life, resulting in reduced risk of derailment and removal of slow orders. The Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway will contribute a 50 percent non-Federal cost share, which may include funding from the Eastern Alabama Railway. This project qualifies for the statutory set-aside for projects in Rural Areas.
