Description
Description — Items Less Than $5.0M (Float/Rail)
This budget line supports Float and Rail programs. Presently, the Army is focused on Army Rail requirements to obtain new railroad locomotives and railway cars to replace aging assets. . For the Rail program, railroad equipment consists of locomotives, rolling stock, railway passenger cars, track maintenance equipment, etc., used to support Army ammunition plants, Army Materiel Command (AMC) depots, Installation Management Command (IMCOM), Forces Command (FORSCOM) and Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) installations in peacetime, training and mobilization missions. This Railway Equipment is required for the replacement of locomotives and railway cars that have exceeded their economic useful life (65 years) and have become logistically unsupportable and costly to maintain. This equipment is in some cases already unserviceable and in other cases, either unsafe or not cleared for use under the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Previous year funding procured shop equipment and tools to assist in the Army's move of its railroad locomotive overhaul facility, the Defense Generator & Rail Center from Hill, AFB, UT to Anniston Army Depot, AL. Army Rail moves the warfighter's equipment (Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, MRAPS etc.) from within the installations to the mainline where it is transferred to commercial railroads. The Rail program also supports the replacement of the DODX flatcars that are facing mandatory retirement by the Federal Railroad Administration after 50 years of service. These railway cars move the warfighters heavy equipment over the nation's commercial railroads. Locomotive equipment consist of commercial off-the-shelf switcher locomotives in direct support of the Army Rail Modernization Program. The program mandates systematic replacement of an aging fleet, that for the respective installations are becoming increasingly more costly to maintain. The Locomotives are industry proven, state of the art technology that will position the Army to meet current EPA air quality restrictions, and future fuel economy mandates. The procurement of railway cars is to meet TDA shortages at various Army installations as well as to replace aging assets that have exceeded their economic useful life.
Justification
Justification — Items Less Than $5.0M (Float/Rail)
FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $18.217 million supports the Army Rail Program. The funds will be used to procure new railroad locomotives and railway cars for the Army's captive railway fleet. They replace aging assets that are on average 50 years old. One-Third of the Army's railroad locomotives are beyond their economic useful-life of 65 years and are increasingly difficult to maintain and logistically support. The procurement of railway cars for the captive fleet will be used to meet TDA shortages at various Army installations and replace aging assets that have exceeded their economic useful life. This program will extend over several years and continue until the required replacement quantity is obtained. The Rail program also supports the replacement of the DODX flatcars that are facing mandatory retirement by the Federal Railroad Administration after 50 years of service. These railway cars move the warfighters heavy equipment over the nation's commercial railroads. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), these items are necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestics emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.
