Title

ARZC Desert Rail Replacement Project

Description

Caltrans Rail and Mass Transportation is working with the Arizona and California Railroad (ARZC) to replace 3.8 miles of obsolete 90-pound section rail with 115-pound welded modern rail. The project will also be dropping 800 tons of ballast and surfacing the new rail to ensure proper alignment. This replacement will allow for improved speed limits through the project area by replacing century old rail infrastructure. The project is east of Cadiz, CA in the Mojave Desert on the ARZC’s right of way. No vegetation removal is proposed in the project scope.
