About this award
The Federal Railroad Administration awarded Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway Company (doing business as Crandic Railway) $11.7 million on October 1, 2025, under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program to streamline rail operations and improve yard safety in Cedar Rapids. Performance runs through August 31, 2027, with work taking place in Iowa.
Crandic Railway is a Class III railroad based in Cedar Rapids that provides last-mile and switching services to 17 customers across the eastern Iowa corridor. The award funds infrastructure improvements that enhance operational efficiency and safety at the Cedar Rapids facility. This is one of three significant CRISI project grants the railway has received; the other awards support tie replacement along 56 miles of main line track, replacement of the UP Overhead Bridge to meet 286K car loading requirements, and replacement of the Iowa River Bridge (Bridge I-142) to raise it above the 100-year flood line. The combined portfolio of approximately $29.8 million in FRA grants targets capacity enhancement, safety resilience, and load transportation capability across Crandic Railway's network.
