THE 56-FOOT LONG BRIDGE CONSISTS OF CONCRETE GIRDERS SUPPORTED BY STONE ABUTMENTS AND A PIER AS STEEL COLUMN WITH A PIER CAP AND VERTICAL CLEARANCE OF 12 FEET 9 INCHES. BASED ON ANNUAL BRIDGE INSPECTION THIS BRIDGE IS IN POOR CONDITION AND RECEIVED AN OVERALL CONDITION RATING OF 3 WHICH DENOTES A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STRUCTURE. AGE AND DEFERRED MAINTENANCE HAVE CAUSED DETERIORATION OF THE RAILROAD BRIDGE. THE PROJECT WILL REQUIRE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURES AND REHABILITATION OF THE EXISTING SUBSTRUCTURE. THIS PROJECT DOES NOT INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS RELATED TO THE WIDENING OF THE ROAD OR ANY INCREASE TO VERTICAL CLEARANCE.RNRNTOMAC AVE BRIDGE BRIDGE NO. 03955R M. P. 31.62 OVER TOMAC AVE IN GREENWICH. THIS OPEN DECK BRIDGE WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1895 AND REHABILITATED IN 1943.

THE VERTICAL CLEARANCE UNDER THE BRIDGE IS 10 FEET 8 INCHES. AGE AND DEFERRED MAINTENANCE HAVE CAUSED DETERIORATION OF THIS UNDER-GRADE OPEN DECK RAILROAD BRIDGE. THIS PROJECT WILL REPLACE THE SUPERSTRUCTURE WITH BALLASTED DECK IN ORDER TO RESTORE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE STRUCTURE. REHABILITATION OF THE EXISTING ABUTMENTS IS REQUIRED. THIS PROJECT DOES NOT INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS RELATED TO WIDENING THE ROAD OR INCREASING VERTICAL CLEARANCE. A SHPO LETTER DATED JUNE 1 2010 INDICATES THAT THE PROJECT WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE STRUCTURE AND IS ATTACHED IN TEAM.RNRNPROJECT IMPLEMENTATION:RNTHESE BRIDGES WILL BE ADVERTISED TOGETHER AS ONE CONTRACT IN ORDER TO LIMIT TRACK OUTAGES.

TRAINS ON THE DANBURY BRANCH CURRENTLY OPERATE UNDER A SYSTEM KNOWN AS A MANUAL BLOCK. THERE ARE NO ACTIVE SIGNALS OR AUTOMATIC SWITCHES ON THE BRANCH. THEREFORE MULTIPLE TRAIN MOVEMENTS ON THE BRANCH ARE LIMITED BY THE BLOCKS ESTABLISHED; AND TURNOUTS AT NORWALK WILTON AND BRANCHVILLE MUST BE MANUALLY OPERATED BY A TRAIN CREW MEMBER.RNRNCTC PROJECT DESCRIPTION: THE CTC SIGNAL SYSTEM INCLUDES A REMOTE CONTROL OF TRAIN MOVEMENTS AND SWITCHES FROM METRO-NORTH`S CONTROL CENTER IN GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL. THE SIDINGS AT NORWALK WILTON BRANCHVILLE AND DANBURY WILL FUNCTION AS FULLY AUTOMATIC CONTROL POINTS (CP`S). SIGNALS AT THESE SIDINGS WILL BE GO-NO-GO SIGNALS SIMILAR TO THOSE NOW IN USE ON THE NEW HAVEN MAINLINE. THESE SIGNALS INDICATE TO A TRAIN TO STOP OR PROCEED BASED ON THE ON-BOARD CAB SIGNAL INDICATIONS. ALSO THE SIGNALS AND SWITCHES ARE INTERLOCKED FOR POSITIVE CONTROL OF TRAIN MOVES. LASTLY THE BRANCH WILL BE ELECTRICALLY SEGMENTED INTO APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE LONG BLOCKS WHICH PROVIDE THE CAB SIGNAL INDICATION BASED ON CONDITIONS OF THE TRACK AHEAD. CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT WILL BE HANDLED BY THE OFFICE OF RAIL CONSTRUCTION UNIT IN NEW HAVEN (ROB PETTINICCHI).RNRNRN3.

THE P-40S WERE MANUFACTURED FOR AMTRAK BY GENERAL ELECTRIC IN 1992 AND WERE PURCHASED BY THE DEPARTMENT IN 2006. THESE LOCOMOTIVES WERE DELIVERED AND ENTERED INTO REVENUE SERVICE BETWEEN 1992 AND 1994. THE USEFUL LIFE OF THESE LOCOMOTIVES AT THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS 25 YEARS. CONNDOT/METRONORTH HAS HISTORICALLY MAINTAINED ITS LOCOMOTIVES IN REE FOR 35 YEARS AND IS PLANNING TO KEEP THE P-40S BEING OVERHAULED UNDER THIS APPLICATION IN ACTIVE SERVICE FOR AT LEAST A 35-YEAR SERVICE LIFE. THESE LOCOMOTIVES ARE CENTRAL TO THE SHORE LINE EAST OPERATION. THEY ARE CURRENTLY PAST THE RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES FOR COMPONENT REPLACEMENTS UPGRADES AND OVERALL CONCENTRATED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. AS A RESULT THESE LOCOMOTIVES ARE EXPERIENCING UNACCEPTABLY HIGH FAILURE RATES AND OUT OF SERVICE TIMES. PERFORMANCE WILL ERODE FURTHER UNLESS SUFFICIENT WORK IS PERFORMED.
