KCS plans $18 million in work on Beaumont Subdivision

摘要

Kansas City Southern (KCS) will invest approximately $19 million in 2015 on construction and improvement projects on its Beaumont Subdivision line, which runs from Beaumont, Texas, to DeQuincy, La. The railroad says these projects will help grow capacity, as well as maintain and enhance safety on the KCS cross-border network. This work is the final phase of a multi-year improvement program on the Beaumont Subdivision. The work will begin on April 21 and continue through the end of May. It will include the replacement of 20 miles of rail and 40,000 crossties, as well as improvements to 10 crossings in the communities of Mauriceville, Texas, and Starks and DeQuincy, La.
