FORT WORTH, TEXAS —
BNSF Railway Company announced that its 2015 capital
program for operation includes about $120 million for
rail maintenance and capacity improvement projects in
Wisconsin, including constructing four miles of double
track through La Crosse.
“This year’s
substantial investments in Wisconsin are a clear
reflection of how important our operations in the state
are to our overall network and our unwavering commitment
to always operating safely — for our people and the
communities in which we operate,” said Jason Jenkins,
BNSF general manager operations Chicago Division, in a
statement. “We know our customers are competing in a
fast-paced, global economy where a smooth, efficient
supply chain can be the difference between winning and
losing in the marketplace. This year’s planned expansion
and maintenance projects will help give BNSF the
capacity flexibility it needs to support our customers’
growing demands and connect Wisconsin products to key
markets.”
The projects in La
Crosse will improve train flows and efficiency along the
route, according to the company.
