The Rail Division was established in December 2009 in response to a growing interest in rail transportation for both the movement of people and goods. The Rail Division implements rail-related policies; performs infrastructure and operational analysis and rail project planning; monitors potential rail line abandonments; oversees rail-highway safety and rail inspections; and manages the South Orient Railroad.
Peter Espy serves as director. Contact us with questions or comments.
