Finger Lakes Railway Receives $3.87 Million for Track Rehabilitation in Watkins Glen

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has awarded $3,869,945 to Finger Lakes Railway Corp. for rural track rehabilitation in Watkins Glen, New York. The funding will support improvements under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program.

The project will focus on enhancing rail infrastructure and safety across the region’s rural freight network. The grant will be used to upgrade track conditions, improve operational efficiency, and support long-term regional connectivity for freight movement.

The funding is part of a broader federal initiative to advance previously announced but unobligated infrastructure awards.
