The Merchants Bridge serves six Class I railroads and Amtrak as a bridge crossing across the Mississippi River at St. Louis since the 1890s.
Major construction on the third track began in late 2018 and when fully opened later this year commuters along the Main Line corridor will have a mass transit solution that reduces road congestion and improves safety.
Funded by the Federal-State Partnership for State of Good Repair Program, the investments will help replace bridges and tunnels along the Northeast Corridor and more.
To address this significant demand, the rail operation is hosting hiring events and career fairs to attract new talent, with a concentration in Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Oakland, Philadelphia, Miami, and Wilmington, Del.
The project marks an expansion of the relationship with Icomera and Amtrak, which began in 2015, as one of the first North American customers to host the industry-leading, mobile connectivity platform on board a moving vehicle.
Rail projects are being launched in states throughout the country. Much of the funding requires a focus on projects that improve safety while also enhancing and/or upgrading rail infrastructure so the projects reflect that mandate.
Together with the initial order of 75 locomotives in 2018, the 125 diesel-electric units are a part of Amtrak’s sustainability initiative.
The B&P Tunnel Replacement Program includes nearly $5 billion of construction.
The project is part of the New Jersey High-Speed Rail Improvement program and a $450 million investment by U.S. DOT, and the first of many speed upgrades anticipated in the NEC
With training hubs in Washington; New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Wilmington, Del.; and Beech Grove, Ind., the grant will enable the program to train over 600 employees in the next three to five years.
