HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s State Transportation Commission has approved $33 million in spending for 25 projects to improve freight rail operations in the state, Gov. Tom Wolf announced last week.
Eleven railroads, as well as shippers and local government agencies, will receive state funding in amounts ranging from $87,000 to $9 million for track improvements, bridge rehabilitation, new sidings, and other improvements. A full list of the projects is available here.
“Keeping goods moving efficiently has proven to be more important now than ever,” Wolf said in a press release. “These investments in Pennsylvania’s rail system create jobs, support efficient freight travel and help keep the business community connected to the global economy.”
