Railroads Plan Massive Rail Renewal Across Nation
Railroads nationwide will place orders for nearly 3,000,000 tons of rails to renew track. About ten percent of the 225,000 miles may need replacement to maintain proper roadbeds, with curves requiring rails every three years. Average track uses 125 tons per mile, and current plans could exceed 2,800,000 tons this year. The American Railways Association may delay a rail section recommendation until fall.
