Efforts to enhance the United States Naval capacity include the construction of new submarines at General Dynamics Electric Boat Shipyard in Groton, CT. Components used in these submarines are transported by rail from facilities in the Midwest and interchanged to the local Providence and Worcester Railroad for final delivery.

Military equipment, including armored vehicles and support trailers, is regularly transported by rail across the country. Rail provides a reliable and efficient means of moving these critical assets between military facilities and ports for deployment or maintenance.
