NEW CROSSINGS INSTALLED ON BPRR LINES

Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad (BPRR) maintenance of way forces rehabbed more than 25 crossings on the south end of the territory in 2022 as part of capital work to address geometry defects, rough crossings and crossing upgrades.

Under the supervision of Roadmaster Dan Tatangelo, maintenance of way team members Jason Nixon, Torre Moore, Corey Burke, Jeremey Burke, Josh Burke, Grant McKinnis, Steve Karenbauer, Lance Gray, Jason Marks, Scott Rutan, Jake Smith, Ben McDivitt and Troy Baker worked efficiently and injury-free.

Director of Engineering Rich Pavetto says that these results are a testament to the BPRR team’s professionalism.

“The crossings turned out good,” says Pavetto. “They are safe for not only our crews and trains but for the people living in the communities we travel through.”

Pavetto explained that the project was part of the capital work project scheduled last year. New rails and ties were installed at each grade crossing.
