The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay received $204.8 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to build rail infrastructure for a planned international container terminal on Oregon's South Coast. This funding, provided through the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Grant Program, will pay for major upgrades to the Coos Bay Rail Line, including new sidings and Centralized Traffic Control. The port is working with NorthPoint Development through a public-private partnership, with NorthPoint leading the marine terminal development.
