New bridge at Rulo boosts coal train transport
A 90 year old Missouri River bridge at Rulo will be replaced with two 375 foot steel spans in a 48 hour rail shutdown. The upgrade lets Burlington Northern run unitized coal trains from Colorado and Wyoming to Missouri on a heavier route, with 110 cars per train hauling 22 million pounds of low sulfur coal to utilities. Completion is expected by December.
