The wait is over! The Maintenance of Way Spending Report 2011 is now available.

The Maintenance of Way Spending Report is your direct link to 88 different railroads - including Class Is, passenger railroads, and regionals, short-line holding companies and short lines.


The report breaks down the nearly $12 billion these railroads plan to spend collectively on MOW this year by each railroad's individual budget; it will also tell you how much they plan to spend on certain work categories, such as crossties, rail grinding and surfacing, ballast, sidings, bridges, stations/facilities and switches or interlockings.


Here's just a sampling of topics covered in the Maintenance of Way Spending Report:

  • Kansas City Southern shares details on the largest capital program in its history. The MOW budget for its Kansas City Southern Railway Co. and Kansas City Southern de México S.A. de C.V. subsidiaries includes millions of dollars to install a record amount of rail and ties.
  • The Indiana Rail Road Co. reviews its record MOW budget. The regional combined the first two years of an all-time-high five-year capital plan in an accelerated 2011 program.
  • MTA Long Island Rail Road provides specific data on several key multi-million-dollar bridge and viaduct projects.
  • The Chicago Transit Authority explains why its 2011 MOW budget is more than five times higher than the 2010 budget, and offers detailed information on major rail, turnout and station projects.

The available-nowhere-else content of the Report also includes:

  • The exact quantities of rail, ties and ballast the railroads expect to install
  • Detailed information on major rail, bridge and station/facility projects, including the scope of work, schedule and names of contractors
  • Discussion on some of the positive train control work slated for 2011
  • The type of MOW equipment railroads plan to lease or purchase this year

A report with this level of detail and information is valued at $499, but is available right now for only $249. This includes a PDF of the report along with a 6-month update in the fall of 2011.
