Nickel Plate rail removal began Friday in Fishers

The rails along the Nickel Plate line in Fishers are now being removed. Mayor Scott Fadness tells LarryInFishers the removal process began Friday and will continue into the fall. The city has said construction of the Nickel Plate Trail would begin this fall.

In late July, the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority approved a bid to remove the rails by A&K Railroad Materials. Now that the cities of Noblesville and Fishers, along with Hamilton County, have also approved the bid, the rail removal process has begun.

The rail removal process is beginning at 146th Street and moving south. The A&K bid does not include removing the rails at road crossings, and Fadness says that removal will happen as the trail is under construction.
