Opportunity Information: Apply for FR CCD 24 010
The FY24 Port of Rosedale Multimodal Expansion: Great River Railroad Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number FR CCD 24 010) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), under CFDA 20.337. The opportunity supports a major rail infrastructure rehabilitation effort in Mississippi focused on restoring the Great River Railroad connection between the Port of Rosedale and the Columbus and Greenville Railroad (CAGY) in Metcalf, MS. The work is framed as part of a broader, two-phase program intended to bring an out-of-service or degraded rail corridor back into usable condition and, ultimately, full freight rail operations.
The overall restoration effort is split into Phase 1 and Phase 2, and this grant primarily funds Phase 1 while also covering environmental review for both phases. Under this award, the recipient will complete the required environmental review documentation and processes that apply to the full two-phase restoration plan. In addition, the grant funds the full delivery pipeline for Phase 1, including preliminary engineering, final design, and construction. Phase 1 is aimed at repairing approximately 31 miles of railroad so the line becomes a functional track for maintenance equipment. The construction scope includes replacing rail ties (with the estimate that roughly one-third of existing timber ties will be replaced), repairing 33 grade crossings, adding supplemental ballast rock, and resurfacing the track to improve alignment and stability. It also includes a set of structure repairs and replacements: repairing four timber bridges, replacing one timber bridge with culverts, and installing one new concrete culvert. In practical terms, Phase 1 is the heavy rehabilitation step that stabilizes the corridor, improves safety at crossings, and restores basic track functionality and maintainability.
Phase 2 is described as the step that would bring the corridor back to full operational capability for regular rail service, but it is not funded by this agreement except for the environmental review portion. Phase 2 is anticipated to include installing about 31 miles of new 112-pound rail, additional tie replacement beyond what is covered in Phase 1, replacement of four bridges, and siding improvements (including the Port of Rosedale spur). These improvements are the kinds of upgrades typically needed to support higher-capacity, higher-reliability freight movements and day-to-day operations, rather than limited maintenance-only use. By funding environmental review for both phases now, the opportunity is designed to keep the larger program moving and reduce future delays if Phase 2 funding is pursued later.
From an outcomes perspective, the FRA notes that successful completion of the project will enhance resiliency and redundancy for the Port of Rosedale and the wider region. In transportation terms, resiliency and redundancy generally mean the region gains a more reliable and flexible freight route, with fewer single points of failure and improved ability to handle disruptions. Restoring a rail link to a port also supports multimodal freight movement by strengthening the connection between waterborne shipping and rail distribution, which can improve regional logistics options and supply chain continuity.
