The Port of St. Helens received a Connect Oregon II grant awarded June 20th: "Port Westward Railroad System Wye,$840,000. These rail imrovements will allow locomotives to turn around at this vital port for the return trip to Portland and beyond. It will also enhance intermodal transportation conections, providing attractive incentives for new businesses to support the local economy." ranked #24

Another Connect Oregon II grant also affecting the Astoria Line:
"Columbia River Rail Corridor Improvement, Portland & Western Railroad, $6,300,000: Portland & Western Railroad will upgrade 23 miles of deteriorated 100-year-old rail along the Columbia River to reduce congestion and improve safety. The rail line will better connect several industries and will reduce emergency egress at highway-rail crossings." This project was ranked #1 of all the Connect Oregon II grant requests.

This is the second round of Connect Oregon funding @ $100 million each round. Connect Oregon is funded with Oregon Lottery Bond funds.
