The Department of Transportation's Rail administration announced today a large number
of investments in rail including some that may
foster more passenger service. I believe this is
a component of Biden's infastructure plan. As
described below one of the many grants was to
Michigan for rebuilding the Livernois Yard in
Detroit.

Below is from a press release
U. S Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration announced,
today, November 1, 2024, $67 million grant to Michigan to accomplish:
• In Michigan, more than $67 million will be invested in Detroit RECHARGED - Realizing Environmental Changes Happening Around Railroads Generating Equitable Development, which will improve and expand the Livernois Intermodal Facility by installing approximately 17,200 feet of new track and upgrading paving as well replacing diesel gantry cranes with new hybrid and fully electric gantry cranes in Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan. The project will benefit local business owners and surrounding residents by improving service performance, enhancing multimodal connections, and reducing negative environmental impacts.
