Does anybody have a link to a breakdown of the individual projects that will be funded with the redistributed $1.2 billion from WI and OH?
With the exception of the largest few (CA, FL, maybe WA), the awards essentially just fully funded previous applications that received a little bit less than full funding. For instance, IL received $1.1 billion (in Jan. 2010 I believe) for a $1.142 billion request. As far as I can tell, no "new" projects received funding, it was just a little more funding for already-funded plans.Thanks Ryan, but is there a further breakdown of each of the projects for each state?
The 2.2 million will not be used to directly fund the River Runner or for it's operation of our passenger rail service. The 2.2 million will be used on preliminary engineering and environmental compliance completion for various future railroad projects to build capacity and reliability on the St. Louis to Kansas City rail corridor. When these projects were awarded to Missouri in January, 2010, we were shorted by this amount on our application, so this additional amount will fully fund the preparation for those projects.
This additional money, with the added state portion is supposed to be sufficient to get the initial segment to Bakersfield, or really close. Through Bakersfield, like through Fresno, the line is on a lengthy viaduct, which makes it more costly than the rather simple straightforward electrified double track railroad mostly on the ground adjacent to BNSF that it is for much of the line in between.California: up to $624 million
