The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded $4.44 million in Project Grant funding to the Lowndes County Port Authority to construct 6,700 linear feet of new rail track at the port facility near Columbus, Mississippi. This infrastructure improvement project, obligated on October 1, 2025, with an expected completion date of November 1, 2029, addresses operational inefficiencies caused by the existing single-track spur configuration. The new dual-track system will enable simultaneous transloading operations, reduce congestion, and increase annual railcar handling capacity by approximately 3,500 units while minimizing truck traffic and associated emissions. The project delivers measurable benefits to port stakeholders and the regional economy, including reduced truck-related accidents (approximately 17 prevented over a 20-year period), enhanced competitiveness for major tenants such as Steel Dynamics and Edward C. Levy, and expanded logistics capabilities for port operator LSI Logistics Services. The infrastructure improvement is expected to generate job creation and economic growth in a historically disadvantaged community while strengthening transportation reliability for regional manufacturers and industries served by connected rail operators CPKC and CAGY.Federal Grant Award Summary
