Union Pacific Railroad said this week it will spend $4 million to upgrade a rail line that runs from Jefferson City, Mo., to west of Marshall, Mo.
The project, due to be completed by mid-December, will see the railroad replace more than a quarter mile of rail in various curves, as well as 24,500 ties. It’s part of a larger project in which 80 miles of the regional line will be refurbished.
UP said it will spend $3.3 billion in 2011 on its 32,000-mile network.
