Railroad Objectives
• Provide opportunities for and encourage railroad input in the planning process.
• Be sensitive to the railroad’s needs for capacity and future growth.
• Expand railroad capacity while improving the fluidity of railroad operations.
![Page 9: OHIO & LAKE ERIE REGIONAL RAIL CLEVELAND HUB STUDY Ohio Rail Development Commission](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813e5a550346895da85264/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Keep railroads whole• Expand capacity (mainlines, sidings, yards, bridges)• Improve fluidity and reliability • Eliminate bottlenecks; decrease train travel time; and
increase train speeds
• Examine three investment scenarios (design speed)• 79 mph; 90 mph; 110 mph (Top Speed of 125 mph)
• Improve safety and grade crossing warning systems
• Capital costs and improvement concepts are based on field observations by HNTB and Amtrak
