Union Pacific will invest more than $7 million to enhance the rail line that runs from St. Paul, Minn., to Hudson, Wis. The nearly 24-mile project includes removing and installing rail and more than 40,000 ties, as well as renewing the surfaces at 26 grade crossings. Crews will also spread 12,850 tons of ballast to help provide a more stable roadbed.
