Western Railroad Discussion > Colorado gets $66m for freight safety and to enable expansionDate: 10/30/24 07:54 Colorado gets $66m for freight safety and to enable expansion Author: henniekash From the Denver Post:
"Colorado has received a federal infusion of $66.4 million in transportation funds to boost freight train safety and enable expansion along rail corridors northwest of Denver, setting up opportunities for passenger rail transit. A state matching contribution of $28 million brings the total funds over $94 million for work cast as essential preparation for long-term rail system expansion. This means state authorities could start building track passing sidings, among other improvements, so that freight trains and passenger trains initially could share existing tracks between Denver and Fort Collins."
