[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] Amtrak is contributing $750,000 to an [URL=https://media.amtrak.com/2019/07/amtrak-matches-odot-grant-to-improve-nations-transportation-infrastructure/]infrastructure project south of Portland[/URL] that will improve Cascades and Starlight reliability. [QUOTE] Plans for restoring the Oregon City Siding include laying new track, ties and equipping both ends with power-operated switches and switch heaters to avoid snow delays in the winter. After the completion of the Oregon City Siding Project, ODOT will work to secure funding for an additional track on an adjacent three-mile section between Oregon City and an existing siding to the south. [/QUOTE]There are a lot of delays incurred between Portland and Salem. This project and the proposed double tracking are desperately needed. Amtrak and UP will both benefit from this work. It's good to see Amtrak putting money into a project off the NEC. [/QB][/QUOTE]
