Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The project will repair, rehabilitate, and upgrade 11 bridges between Brandon, SD, and Bigelow Township, MN, south of Worthington, MN, to a 286,000-pound capacity. Rail repair and reopening of 7.5 miles of track between Brandon, SD, and Valley Springs, SD will also be undertaken. Additionally, a connecting track will be constructed for the Ellis and Eastern Company Railroad to cross the BNSF Railway at Manley Junction in Manley, MN.
The objective of the project is to operate and maintain a railroad that connects Sioux Falls, SD, with Worthington, MN, and can safely handle 286,000-pound rail cars. The rehabilitated railroad will allow Ellis and Eastern to offer reduced transportation costs, and freight trains will be able to safely travel at faster speeds, carrying heavier freight loads.
