As they rank first in the nation in the number of operating railroads and almost top in total track mileage, this raised funding will confirm to them that infrastructure continues to be strong and reliable and generating good-income jobs.

Pennsylvania’s governor, Wolf mentions being grateful to the Biden-Harris Administration for resumed commitment to invent in their infrastructure by the landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure law, will provide a significant difference for not only their physical infrastructure, also their economy and workforce.

New Infrastructure railways

Tom Wolf, Pennsylvania’s governor declaration, on two rail infrastructure projects has been considered for the improvements and to firmly strengthen their supply chain, it will benefit the families with lower cost and good-paying jobs.

For Gettysburg State and Private Investments Driving Economic Recovery Project Gettysburg and Northern Railroad Co. is awarded up to $1.84 million. This project initiates approximately 24 miles of the Northern Railway and Gettysburg (GET) which is a railway line in Adams and Cumberland countries.

Through this project it will build up the track to Class 2 safety standard and operating speeds, build a new track adjacent to existing/definite track, it will upgrade with 16 crossings warning devices to LED signals, restore seven failed or failing culverts and substitute wigwag warning circuitry at two at-grade crossings. (PennDOT) Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Class III GET will provide a 55% match.

The Governor, supported this project to create good paying jobs.

For the Colebrookdale Railroad Infrastructure, Safety and Capacity Upgrade, this redevelopment authority of the Country of Berks was awarded with $14.6 million. This project will rehabilitate almost 8.6 miles of track with 130 pound (CWR) Continuous welded rail to verify compliance with Class 2 track standards and potential to handle 286,000-pound railcars from these towns, Pottstown and Boyertown.

This project will re-establish approximately 8.6 miles of track with 130-pound (CWR) continuous welded rail to verify compliance with 2 class track standards and potential to be able to manage 286,000-pound railcars. The infrastructure railway project will replace 14 bridges which are deteriorating, construct two rail-served transload yards and the latest six sidings.

Through this additional interchange capacity providing and reduction of load restrictions, it even provides operational potential to real existing shipper demand and predicts future growth. This railway infrastructure will address the drainage issue on the corridor and hinder further accidents from happening, this rail corridor will act as a funnel which will direct large quantities of water to within reach roadways. It will provide them with a 65% match by an applicant. This recent development of two railways infrastructure projects, will provide them with a solid and stronger supply chain.
