NORTHEAST CORRIDOR HIGH-SPEED RAIL PASSENGER SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. TASK 1 ON GRADE CROSSINGS AND FENCING

Recommendations for the eliminations of at-grade crossings and provisions of fencing programs for safety on the Northeast Corridor from New Haven to Boston are developed. Construction and land acquisition cost estimates are included. Each at-grade crossing site is discussed in detail, including alternate proposals which were considered. The special crossing problem at New London is investigated. Fencing standards are developed. Alternative applications are discussed.
