News Review Today
A shuttered rail line considered vital to Douglas County's timber industry could reopen within a couple of years, following Tuesday's $7.09 million award for repairs to Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad.
CORP also likely will be awarded a $4.6 million ConnectOregon grant this summer to enlarge four tunnels near Glendale to accommodate new, larger boxcars. Each boxcar has the capacity of 3 1/2 freight trucks.

The federal grant awarded Tuesday is part of $500 million distributed by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Tiger IV program.

CORP will add $2.4 million of its own money to restore an 80-mile stretch of the Siskiyou Summit line between Ashland and Weed, Calif. The section has been closed since 2008.

The link to the complete story is at the end of the Domestic News section of tonight's Trainnews, or click here.

Also in this issue is a story regarding the McCloud Railroad Dinner Train equipment, and local efforts to revive that dinner train. Look for the very last artile in tonight's Trainews, at the end of Running Extra.
