Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The project will rehabilitate track and rail assets owned by the State of Michigan and operated by the Great Lakes Central Railroad (GLC) from just north of Ann Arbor to Owosso, Michigan.
Specifically, the project includes installing 4.25 miles of new rail, eliminating joints on an additional 41.25 mainline track miles, replacing or rehabilitating 7 bridges and culverts, and installing over 30,000 ties on mainline and siding track.
In total, it will eliminate 16 slow orders associated with rail joint defects over a critical 46.5-mile section of the 260-mile mainline corridor and will result in fewer track defects, derailments, and other maintenance problems associated with rail joints.
