Union Pacific Spends $13 Million on Fort Worth Rail Intersection
6/10/2009 -
Union Pacific Railroad reports that it is spending $13 million to upgrade track between Roanoke, Texas and Tower 55 in Fort Worth.
Tower 55 is a major juncture of rail lines that has prompted numerous complaints from Fort Worth motorists about emissions and traffic delays from trains.
Union Pacific crews are replacing more than 45,000 ties and renewing road surfaces at 38 grade crossings in a project scheduled to be completed next month. The railroad spent more than $400 million last year on capital projects in Texas.
