Rehabilitate the 3 Rotary Frequency Converters at Lamokin - install new stator coils, rewind 23 motor rotor coils and install new collector rings, and reassemble the motor. Purchase and install six new 20MVA transformers. Purchase and install 14 ea 13.2kV generator and bus tie breakers. Purchase and replace all protective relay, control and power cables and control systems including Remote Terminal Units(RTU).
The Lamokin Frequency Converter Replacement project is budgeted at a total cost of $60,100,000, of which $60,000,000 will be provided from the ARRA funding, and $100,000 from FY 2009 federal grant. The funding provided through the ARRA grant completes a gap in the project's multi-year budget, and will significantly accelerate the project, allowing it to be completed in 2011.
Lamokin frequency converter is a PECO-owned facility that is close to 80 years old. Much of the equipment is original and has outlived its useful life. We are experiencing more frequent outages at the station due to its age. The control scheme is antiquated and our electric traction load dispatchers have limited remote view of equipment condition at the station.

Design and construct a replacement 32 and 41 transmission line system from Safe Harbor to Atglen, PA. Amtrak will retire the original transmission system and build a new transmission line system in the same right of way. The transmission system consists of catenary and transmission structures, insulators, conductors, and foundations.
The Transmission Line Replacement (Safe Harbor) project is budgeted at a total cost of $30,050,000, of which $30,000,000 will be provided from the ARRA funding, and $50,000 from FY 2009 federal grant. The funding provided through the ARRA grant completes a gap in the project's multi-year budget, and will significantly accelerate the project, allowing it to be completed in 2011.
The transmission line was built in 1936 and consisted of overhead catenary, transmission, and signal power. As part of the Conrail takeover Amtrak maintained certain rights in the line. This is due to the A&S (Enola) branch containing electric transmission that is vital to Amtrak's operations. Conrail eventually abandoned the line, including the catenary and signal power, but the line has fallen into a state of disrepair due to age, vegetation overgrowth, and vandalism.

Replace 4.5MVA transformers at existing 25 Hz traction power substations on the Mid-Atlantic North Division. MVA is Mega Volt Amperes. The electrical industry utilizes this term (MVA) to identify the rating of electrical apparatus. The Mid Atlantic division is separated at MP 29.3. This is a short distance North of Ragan interlocking. Geographically it is located southwest of Wilmington, DE. The electric traction department would replace associated protective relaying, as well as control systems, power and control cables, sectionalizing switches, circuit breakers, and remote
terminal units (RTU).
The Mid-Atlantic North Division substation replacement project is budgeted at a total cost of $10,000,000, of which $10,000,000 will be provided from the ARRA funding, and no FY 2009 federal grant funding is included.

This project is broken into 3 major components as follows: express works, major works, and environmental management.
These components are defined as follows:
Express works – right of way cleanup such as abandoned rail, scrap, ties, or fence from the face of the catenary pole towards the main tracks for a total of 30.3 miles on the New England Division.
Major works – right of way cleanup such as abandoned rail, scrap, ties, fence, tree cutting, and clear cutting. Improvements such as ditching, drainage, retaining walls, slope retention fabric, mitigation planting where the buffer was eliminated all the way to the property line, and safety guide rails from the face of the catenary pole to the Amtrak property line. The total for major work on the New England Division is 68.8 miles.
All work will comply with The National Electrical Safety Code C2-2002 - Part 2. Safety Rules For Overhead Line – Section 218 Tree Trimming – Paragraph B: At Line Crossings, and Limited-Access highway Crossings, the crossing span and the adjoining span on each side of the crossing should be kept free from over-hanging or decayed trees or limbs that otherwise might fall into the line.
Environmental management - testing, storage, removal, and dump permits for spoils collected as a result of the express works and major works
components of this project. As is Amtrak's normal practice, townships will be notified 30 days in advance of tree cutting. Where the buffer is eliminated all the way to the property line, Amtrak will offer to plant low growth, soil rentention vegitation that will spread as oppose to grow to height that could interfere with the catenary. Finally, to the best of Amtrak's knowledge the tree trimming/removal projects will not affect wetlands. In the event that wetlands are encountered, Amtrak will comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations concerning wetlands.
