Topic: MARC's Riverside Heavy Maintenance Building: Constructing Now to Improve Maintenance Tomorrow.
MDOT MTA MARC Train is building a heavy maintenance building at Riverside Yard in Baltimore. When completed, the facility will permit MARC to bring almost all rolling stock and locomotive maintenance in-house, improving the quality of work and significantly reducing equipment downtime. Our speakers will discuss the planning and execution of the construction, technical details about the features of the building, and review challenges that were faced along the way and how they were addressed.
