Kansas City Southern will invest approximately $15.6 million in 2015 on construction and improvement projects on the segment of the Pittsburg Subdivision line from Kansas City to Stotesbury, Mo., which is expected to grow capacity and maintain and enhance safety on KCS' cross-border network.

 

Work will begin on May 26 and continue through the end of June and will include the replacement of 1.75 miles of rail and 100,000 crossties, as well as improvements to over 90 road crossings in the communities of Kansas City, Grandview, Cleveland, Drexel, Amsterdam, Hume and Stotesbury.

“KCS, through its U.S. and Mexican subsidiaries, continues to invest in capital projects to expand network capacity, keep maintenance in a regular and healthy cycle and enhance the safety of our operation,” said chief executive officer David Starling. “These investments also help us be an economic growth partner to our customers and the communities through which we operate.”
