- To add an additional main line to an existing railroad is about $2 to $3 million per mile, much more in urban areas. As for brand new construction, assuming the property has been purchased in advance for the highway, its about $30 million a mile for a new freeway (this is based on the new 210 freeway in which eight miles were built for $233 million).

- I had to get a price to install some track for a project I am working on. Lowest cost I've received so far is $125 per FOOT. That is for tangent track laid with new industrial grade crossties, new spikes, bolts, and anchors, used plates, used relay quality 100 lb rail, and includes ballast, lining, and tamping.$125 per FOOT price is for track installed on pre-graded sub grade-any grading and earthwork is extra.f you figure 3000 ties per mile AND using relay quality (USED) 115 lb rail, you are looking at $330,000 MINIMUM for just the ties and rails. You'll easily eat up another $70,000 in OTM (plates, spikes, angle bars, anchors, bolts).

Once the 2010 unit costs were derived, they were compared to current year industry cost estimates for railroad related construction; during this comparison, if a unit cost was found to be out of line with current trends, it was adjusted to better reflect current conditions in the market. The pay items and their associated unit costs

Rail transportation in the United States The vast majority of the 22,000 or so miles over which Amtrak operates are actually owned by freight railroads. By law, freight railroads must grant Amtrak access to their track upon request. In return, Amtrak pays fees to freight railroads to cover the incremental costs of Amtrak's use of freight railroad tracks.

Railway Board plans to buy high-speed trains at Rs 550 crore apiece But that is not the case, the board member said. Besides the Rs 11,000 crore cost of the train, also consider the expenditure on the tracks. The cost of one km track for such high-speed train will be equivalent to the cost of 20 km of normal coach tracks in use in the country. I don't approve of the proposal, so do many other members in the board, the board member added. Former general manager in the railways, R.C.

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Mile of Road? And remember, these are cost models — actual expenses can certainly rise far beyond these estimates. And if you want wider roads, the costs understandably go up: for the production of a 4-lane highway, the cost per mile will run between $4 and $6 million in rural or suburban areas, and between $8 to $10 million in urban areas.

- The per km cost is $78.72 million. However, the Thiess portion of the project only covered tunnelling, rail and station shells. Total project cost was higher – $2.22 billion in 2007 dollars. This gives at total per km cost of $177.6 million.trangely, other parts of the report cost the tunnel at $7 billion and DART at $250-300 million – there’s no consistency. The lowest cost figures give a per km cost of around $347 million for rail tunnel (presumably with stations included) and $42.3 million for above ground rail.

Light Rail Is The Wrong Choice for Cities There is no way to justify these costs when buses are so much less expensive. Even worse, some cities are paying heavy-rail prices for light-rail capacities, getting the worst of both. Honolulu is building an elevated line at a cost of $250 million per mile whose capacity will be little greater than light rail.Seattle is building an underground light-rail line for more than $600 million a mile that will be able to carry no more people than San Diego’s original, $17 million-per-mile line.ven worse, some cities are paying heavy-rail prices for light-rail capacities, getting the worst of both.
