LIRR Hillside Yard Maintenance of Way (MoW), Queens, NY - The planned renovations at the Long Island Rail Road’s Maintenance of Way (MoW) Facility include a 7500 square foot (ft2) expansion of the existing facility and provision of a 100 ton bridge crane inside the expanded part of the building. A new 1800 ft2 welding facility will also be constructed on the MoW site. Both facilities will be single story, clear span, Pre-Engineered Buildings and will include provision of new sections of rail road track embedded in the concrete slab-on-grade. These sections of track will allow rail bound equipment to be serviced within the facility.
