Bridgerissa Commuter Railway To Rebuild Carbon City Line.
Henning, Bridgerissa. January 19th, 2017.
Bridgerissa Department of Transportation (B.Dot) announced today that the Carbon City branch of the Bridgrissa Commuter Railway system will be rebuilt. This includes double tracking in certain areas, adding new stations platforms, new imported-but-refurbished Diesel Multiple Unit (or DMU) cars from Great Britain, and more parking for many choked stations like Roosevelt Falls. This project also included adding wheelchair accessibility to the line. The line waited for on high-level platforms for the longest in order to use their low floor Bi-level rail cars from Bombardier, but those cars are being phased out for imported British DMUs as a temporary measure until new ones are built. The RFP for new American-built DMU is currently also out. North Carbon City Terminal will also have more track space until this plan. Most of the tracks in the terminal were removed in the late 80s leaving only 3 tracks. Two more tracks will open in 2018 when this project is fully over. Bridgerissa Commuter warns of possible delays and closures down the road due to this construction. A few railroad crossings will also be removed.
