Addition of a Second Mainline from Gulf Coast Junction to Settegast Junction
Constructing a second mainline track will allow for the separation of through-freight train movements and yard movements, and the reduction of train conflicts over the Gulf Coast Junction to Settegast Junction line segment.
Cost
The addition of a second mainline along the subdivision is estimated to cost $20,000,000 and is classified as a level 2 improvement, meaning that the improvement is a mid-range railroad improvement. However, the improvement should undergo further testing to determine the extent of the improvement’s impact on the region’s rail network, and to quantify the associated public and private benefits that may be attained.
