    FY 2020 Federal-State Partnership for State of Good Repair Grant Program California — San Diego Next Generation Signaling and Grade Crossing Modernization Up to $9,836,917 North County Transit District Replaces and upgrades obsolete signal, train control, and crossing equipment on a 60-mile section of North County Transit District right-of-way the carrier shares with Amtrak intercity service and freight rail. Brings signal and train control components into a state of good repair, including installing new signal houses, signals, and cabling. Replaces components at more than 15 grade crossings along the corridor. California — Pacific Surfliner Corridor Rehabilitation and Service Reliability Up to $31,800,000 Southern California Regional Rail Authority Rehabilitates track, structures, and grade crossings in Ventura County and northern Los Angeles County on infrastructure used by Amtrak intercity service, Metrolink commuter service, and BNSF freight service. Work for member agency Ventura County Transportation Commission includes track, tie, ballast, and culvert replacements, grade crossing rehabilitation, and tunnel track and structure replacements. Reduces trip times, increases reliability, and improves safety by reducing need for slow orders and conflicts at grade crossings in the corridor. Connecticut — Walk Bridge Replacement Up to $79,700,000 Connecticut Department of Transportation & Amtrak Replaces the Connecticut-owned movable Norwalk River Bridge, built in 1896, with two, independent, two-track, vertical lift rail bridges in Norwalk, Connecticut. Includes associated embankment and retaining wall improvements on the bridge approaches, new catenary structures, and signal system upgrades. The existing bridge is beyond its useful life and prone to malfunctions, especially during opening or closing. The replacement will reduce slow orders, reduce the risk of service disruptions, and improve resiliency to extreme weather events.

  • Six Empire Service Trains Will Stop at Grand Central Terminal Instead of New York Penn Station Starting July 10 Through Sept. 1
    Six Empire Service Trains Will Stop at Grand Central Terminal Instead of New York Penn Station Starting July 10 through Sept. 1, 2017 Infrastructure Renewal at New York Penn Station As part of the Infrastructure Renewal at New York Penn Station, Amtrak will perform a series of major track and switch renewal projects that will strengthen railroad infrastructure, operations and preparedness -- and ultimately improve reliability at America’s busiest rail hub. The Infrastructure Renewal work accelerates several years of already planned improvements to track, switch and other infrastructure at Penn Station to improve track conditions. This major work will require three northbound and three southbound Empire Service trains to use Grand Central Terminal instead of Penn Station from July 10 – Sept. 1, 2017. If you are getting on or off the following trains at Grand Central Terminal, here are a few things you should know: Trains 230, 233, 235, 236, 239 and 242 Will Stop at Grand Central Terminal Location: Grand Central Terminal is located about a mile north of Penn Station at 89 E 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10017. Transferring between Grand Central Terminal and New York Penn Station: If you are transferring between New York Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal, taxi and local transit are available from both stations, or you can choose to walk. Customers are encouraged to allow extra time if transferring between stations. Schedule Change: Note the new arrival and departure times on your ticket. Trains arriving at and departing from Grand Central Terminal will operate an adjusted schedule. Contact Amtrak for schedule information.

  • Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North)
    Appendix B Capital Plan Project Sheets Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North) Description The existing Portal Bridge is a ±960-foot long structure which carries the Existing: Portal Bridge Northeast Corridor (NEC) over the Hackensack River between Newark Penn Station and Secaucus Junction. The existing movable, swing span bridge was constructed in 1910, is 110-years old, and has exceeded its originally intended service life. Due to its age and frequency of use, the movable bridge is costly and difficult to maintain and experiences frequent breakdowns. The two-track bridge creates a bottleneck between the four-track territories to the east and west and requires train speed reductions of 30% which contributes to a decrease in rail service reliability. Given its low vertical clearance to the river, frequent bridge openings are required to accommodate marine traffic. Also, mechanical component malfunctions often cause the bridge to be open for extended periods of time, resulting in frequent, lengthy delays of rail service on the NEC. Additionally, the existing bridge does not have enough capacity to accommodate anticipated future demand. If funded, this project would replace the existing bridge with a higher, more reliable, double track fixed bridge on a new alignment to the north of the existing bridge. The increased vertical profile would eliminate interruptions to rail service due to required bridge openings. The new north bridge would also eliminate speed restrictions, thereby improving Proposed: New Bridge rail operation and capacity across the span. A second, two-track southern bridge, Portal South, is contemplated separately as part of the overall Gateway Program, which when complete would substantially increase operational capacity along this critical length of the NEC.
