During this time, crews will replace ties and complete full-depth track replacement at several locations along the lines. Replacing this track will help address speed restrictions and bring a smoother ride for passengers.
Rider Benefits
- Safety: New rails, ties, and ballast reduce the risk of unplanned service disruptions
- Reliability: Increase speed for a more consistent schedule
