The Port of Baltimore has been awarded $15.6 million from the Federal Railroad Administration to improve intermodal rail yard infrastructure at the port.

The improvements will include the construction of four working rail tracks totaling 17,670 track feet and two crane rail beams totaling 7,000 linear feet at the Seagirt Marine Terminal.

Project funds will also go toward converting existing diesel-fueled railyard equipment to electrified equipment.
