HELENA TO GREAT FALLS RAILROAD REACTIVATION FEASIBILITY STUDY

The Helena to Great Falls railroad has been embargoed due to various structural and logistical issues. This project aims to assess the current state of the railroad and determine the feasibility of its repair and reactivation. The primary objectives include identifying existing issues with the track, locating wash-outs, and evaluating the necessity for remediation. Additionally, the project will assess the number of tunnels requiring upgrades and estimate the costs involved in reactivating the railroad. Finally, the project will explore potential financial partnerships that could support the reactivation efforts. By applying classroom knowledge in civil engineering and project management, learners will gain practical experience in infrastructure assessment and strategic planning.
