Rail Revival: $5B for Safer, Faster Trains | Cincinnati News

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is igniting America’s rail future with a $5 billion plan to transform train travel—safety first, then speed and comfort. He’s targeting 30 dangerous grade crossings for closure and upgrading 1,000 more, while rolling out 43 new locomotives and overhauling 41 aging trains across the Midwest and Pacific. Cincinnati gets a $40 million boost to shut down two hazardous highway crossings in Fairfield. This isn’t just hype—it’s a practical, phased overhaul designed to make rail safer, smarter, and more reliable nationwide.
