What we’d brief on this corridor
A 10-day corridor brief turns this row into a fundable scope.
- Constraint register. Bridge ratings, tunnel clearance, axle load gaps, and short-line interchange limits along the CSX routing.
- Authority chain. SDDC TEA designation, FRA Office of Railroad Safety oversight, and the state DOT touchpoints between KY,TN,GA,FL.
- Funding map. CRISI eligibility: Yes. RRIF eligibility: Yes. Defense Access Roads where the spur work qualifies.
- Capital decision. A go or no-go on whether heavy engineering spend is the right next step, with the source records that back each claim.
