The board backed turning an unused rail corridor into a trail-like community use while keeping it available for future rail service. It also recommended that COLT keep exploring a battery-electric railcar system called TUGVOLT, which would run without a locomotive and produce no vehicle-level emissions. Staff said railroad and transload revenue were steady, and a federal grant is close to funding track improvements such as stronger rail, new ties and ballast, a turnout replacement, and culvert work.
