CSX, Maryland Seek Fed Funds to Expand Baltimore Tunnel

摘要

CSX AND THE STATE OF MARYLAND are asking for federal money to expand the Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore to fit double-stack trains. The project, long backed by the city of Baltimore, calls for increasing the height of the tunnel and 22 bridges between the city and Philadelphia. Such an extensive plan would prove a boon to contractors and suppliers with experience in railroad tunnel and bridge work.
