The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded a $4,206,000 Project Grant to the Twin Cities & Western Railroad Company (TC&W) under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program (CFDA 20.325). The grant funding supports a project to address the deteriorating condition of rail joints on 13 miles of TC&W's 112# and 115# rail track in rural Minnesota. The project will perform rail joint elimination via a flash-butt welding process to reduce slow orders and travel times. The project will benefit the rail line connecting TC&W's operations in Hector and Brownton, Minnesota. This grant demonstrates the FRA's investment in enhancing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the freight rail system in rural areas through the CRISI program.
