The South Shore Line has designated $40 million over five years starting in 2020 to the acquisition of new rail cars it will add to the fleet on its main line while allowing rehabilitated cars to be transferred to the planned West Lake Corridor.
The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District Board of Trustees approved a contract with the New York-based firm STV at its January meeting that would have the firm advise the railroad on the purchase of new rail cars, including identifying a manufacturer and specific features.
