Written by jrood
DRAFT PRESS RELEASE Union Pacific will improve Kansas' transportation infrastructure by investing more than $11.5 million to improve the rail line from Topeka, Kan., to Herington, Kan.
Work on two projects covering more than an 80-mile
stretch of railroad track began August 19 and is scheduled to be completed by
the end of October. The projects include removing and installing more than
93,000 ties, spreading nearly 50,000 tons of rock ballast and replacing the surfaces
at 84 grade crossings. In May, crews replaced rail in various curves between
Herington and Volland, Kan.
