Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The objective of the project is to improve safety, capacity, and reliability in the transportation system in Maine by making critical improvements to the Par Freight Main Line. This rail corridor in rural Maine provides a critical gateway to the national rail system and global economy for Maine's vast forest product resources and paper industry.
Investment in the Pine Tree Corridor will improve the region's competitiveness at a time when the Maine forest products industry is at the tipping point of resurgence. These investments will improve the state of good repair of this rail corridor while allowing significantly faster transit times.
