Amtrak announced yesterday it is contributing $750,000 toward a project aimed at reducing train delays in the Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor.
Amtrak’s matching contribution is being made in support of the Oregon Department of Transportation‘s (ODOT) application for a federal grant to fund the project. If successful, the grant would help fund the Oregon City siding rehabilitation project to restore an out-of-service siding between Portland and Salem, Oregon, Amtrak officials said in a press release.
