Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The project includes final design and construction to comprehensively rehabilitate 19 miles of the Amtrak-owned Hell Gate Line connecting New York Penn Station and New Rochelle, New York.
Benefits to Amtrak's intercity services from the project include upgraded signal systems, rehabilitation of four bridges, construction of four new interlockings and five new power substations, and upgrades to two existing substations, and track rehabilitation.
Additional project components include an expansion to the New Rochelle yard.
The project will restore the Hell Gate Line to a state of good repair and allow the introduction of new Metro-North Railroad (MNR) commuter rail service over the Hell Gate Line connecting to Penn Station New York.
The rehabilitation and replacement of assets on the Hell Gate Line will reverse decades-long underinvestment in intercity passenger rail infrastructure.
The project will install a modern signal system, rehabilitate bridges, increase power, and upgrade six miles of the line into a four-track railroad, improving operational flexibility as well as on-time performance and reliability for 40,000 intercity rail passengers that rely on the line today while also preparing the Northeast Corridor (NEC) for increased service levels and high-speed rail service.
