Since VRE’s founding, they’ve had to rely on Amtrak’s engine house in Washington, D.C., to handle maintenance jobs such as draining oil tanks and changing lube oil for all of their engines, but with the construction of a long-anticipated service & inspection (S&I) building, VRE is going to soon be able to handle a whole host of maintenance and service requirements, including 180-day inspections mandated by the Federal Railroad Administration—all on their own property.
A trainwash has also been constructed at the Crossroads site, allowing every train set to get washed once every two weeks. When the second is built at Broad Run, train sets will be washed once a week—a big improvement over the current schedule of every two and a half months.
