VRE completes maintenance facility


advertisement

Virginia Railway Express (VRE) recently completed a service and inspection building at Crossroads Yard, which serves the commuter-rail agency's Fredericksburg line.

Since launching service in 1992, VRE has relied on Amtrak to provide fleet maintenance services. However, the agency's maintenance needs have grown to include more rigorous and labor-intensive work, VRE said. The new facility will enable the agency to handle maintenance duties on-site without disrupting service.
