The U.S. Surface Transportation Board has approved a joint proposal by Anacostia Rail Holdings’ (ARH) subsidiary, Louisville & Indiana Railroad (L&I) and CSX to upgrade a key freight corridor between Indianapolis, Ind., and Louisville, Ky.
“These upgrades will benefit L&I and CSX customers in the Midwest and across the companies’ networks by improving operational efficiency, allowing more direct transit across Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky and reducing congestion in those state. The privately funded upgrades, which will include the installation of new rail, upgrades to the rail bed structure and bridge improvements, will enhance service and capacity on this rail line,” Oscar Munoz, president and chief operating officer, CSX, said.
CSX’s total investment of approximately USD 100 million will not only benefit L&I’s local customers, but will connect the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville to enhanced rail access and provide more efficient rail service for freight shipments through the region.
