Union Pacific will allot USD 77.1 million in Oregon rail infrastructure to maintain the tracks. USD 44.7 million will be invested in rail tracks maintenance and USD 3.2 million, for bridges.
To that end, USD 9.3 million will be invested in the rail line between Klamath Falls and Chemult to replace 34 km of rail; USD 12.1 million for the rail line between Huntington, Oregon, and Caldwell, Idaho, to replace 87,978 rail ties during a tie replacement project and USD 14.3 million for the rail line between Oakridge and Portland to replace 102,683 rail ties during a tie replacement project.
“Union Pacific’s targeted investments fund projects that strengthen our rail tracks, increase safety and minimize delays as trains travel through communities across Oregon. Maintaining a healthy rail is the foundation of our ability to serve customers and communities across the state,” Wes Lujan, Union Pacific vice president said.
