TRACK REPLACEMENT: Track replacement is taking place along the Richmond Branch in Virginia. The track is made up almost entirely of jointed rail that is nearly 30 years old. It will be replaced with newer welded rail. As a result, the speed limit will be increased along the line, allowing for more efficient service.
