Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program – Special Transportation Circumstances in Wyoming

Wyoming and CFDA 20.338 as a join

CFDA 20.338 is titled CONSOLIDATED RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM – SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION CIRCUMSTANCES. The em dash in the catalog title is part of the program name; it is not a second CFDA number. Filtered to Wyoming place of performance, obligations sum to $60,906,278 on 2 awards. The national 20.338 hub includes every other state. Wyoming federal spending includes every other program. This tie is the intersection.

An obligation is a recorded commitment, not an outlay. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so $60,906,278 cannot be read as a single construction season. Correlation between Wyoming geography and 20.338 coding is not evidence that a named rail line was rebuilt, a crossing was closed, or freight volume changed.

Packet facts stop at Wyoming, CFDA 20.338, $60,906,278, and 2 awards. Recipient names, railroad identifiers, and project descriptions are absent. Do not invent contractors, carriers, or award recipients.

20.338 is not the main CRISI catalog in Wyoming

Other Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements lines and other FRA or FTA catalogs sit on different CFDA numbers. Mixing those dollars into $60,906,278 would invent a broader total than this 20.338 × WY cell contains. Facts available: Wyoming, CFDA 20.338, $60,906,278, 2 awards. The program name on the packet includes the Special Transportation Circumstances clause; that clause is the catalog, not a footnote.

Dividing $60,906,278 by 2 yields about $30.45 million per award. That average is an implied mean of two large instruments, not a typical tie-replacement cost and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Two is not a count of Wyoming rail lines, depots, or counties.
