• add capacity at the Alliance Intermodal Facility, expand a fueling facility and build a line at the Amarillo Terminal end in the Hereford Subdivision;
• add terminal capacity at the International Gateway Intermodal facility and construct a siding in the Fallbridge Subdivision in Washington; and
• expand lines in the Thayer North and Thayer South subdivisions in Missouri.
