Capital Renewal is the routine repair or replacement of existing basic infrastructure assets, or those assets that require annual renewal to keep the NEC’s structures and systems functioning properly and in a state of good repair for safe train operations. On the right-of-way, these assets include rails, ties, ballast, communication systems, electric traction power systems, under-grade bridges and other similar items. The NEC’s four right-of-way owners—Amtrak, MBTA, Connecticut DOT, and Metro-North Railroad—are responsible for capital renewal investments associated with right-of-way basic infrastructure assets.
