Union Pacific Railroad expects to spend $6.5 million to upgrade a line between Boyero and Limon, Colo.

The railroad plans to install 31 miles of rail, replace six switches and renew surfaces at 21 grade crossings. Work began Nov. 21 and is slated for completion by year's end.

The project is one of nearly 1,500 UP scheduled this year across its 32,000-mile network to help improve operating efficiency, reduce motorists' wait times at crossings and enhance safety.
