Freight railroad network BNSF Railway Co. says it plans to invest about $145 million on maintenance and rail capacity expansion projects in Illinois this year.
In addition to replacing a pair of bridges in Princeton and Wyanet and constructing a new 7,600-ft-long siding between Barstow and Hillsdale, plans call for extending three departure tracks at Galesburg Yard to lengths of 10,000 feet each. BNSF also will add track and parking to a logistics park in Chicago and nearby intermodal facilities.
