Amtrak breaks ground on $1B NYC maintenance facility

Article excerpt

Highlighted: the sentence this signal was extracted from

The project ranks as the largest major Amtrak maintenance facility to advance into significant construction over the past two years, according to the release. Amtrak expects the phased work, primarily funded by Congress through Federal Railroad Administration grants, to run through 2030, according to the release. The project centers on the construction of a new two-track maintenance and inspection facility. Additional plans include six new service and cleaning tracks, state-of-good repair work on 11 existing service platforms, a modular office compound and the reconfiguration of two major interlockings and tracks. Once finished, the facility will support Amtrak's new Airo trainsets, which will replace 50-year-old passenger cars, Amtrak said. The work adds onto other major station upgrades, including projects in Philadelphia, Washington, Boston and Seattle, according to the news release. "From this new maintenance facility to the East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project and so many other projects, Amtrak is delivering transformative investments that are reshaping the future of passenger rail in New York," said Laura Mason, executive vice president of capital delivery at Amtrak, in the Aug. 28 release.
