Gainesville-Haymarket Feasibility Study and
Alternatives Analysis
VRE is conducting a Feasibility Study/Alternatives Analysis for a proposed new branch of service, approximately eleven (11) miles in length. This new service may run from the existing VRE Manassas Station in the City of Manassas to the Town of Haymarket, in Prince William County, Virginia, along Norfolk Southern’s “B” line and may include up to three new stations/stops.
Specifically, the study includes:
- An alternative analysis
- An engineering feasibility analysis
- A preliminary environmental review
- An order of magnitude capital cost estimate, and
- Identification of potential locations for:
- Stations/stops
- Layover/maintenance facilities
- Supporting rail infrastructure improvements
A previous study, the Gainesville-Haymarket Implementation Plan, was completed in 2005. The Feasibility Study/Alternatives Analysis will build upon the results of that plan and provide a more detailed analysis of station locations, rail infrastructure needs and potential costs.
