NS Crescent Corridor, Pa. coal lines track work

摘要

A critical choke point on Norfolk Southern's Crescent Corridor has been eliminated with a reconfigured rail junction near Front Royal, Va. This was the final and most complex of six capacity-improvement projects in Northern Virginia to handle more trains at higher speeds.rnFunded by $43-million from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and nearly $20 million from NS, the projects lengthened or built new passing tracks between Ma-nassas, Va., and Front Royal, installed five miles of double track near the Virginia Inland Port, improved signal and traffic control systems and increased train speeds through Riverton Junction near Front Royal.
