Hotline #900
February 27, 2015
For the big nine-oh-oh, we cover the slew of Amtrak amendments filed to the big House rail bill, good news for the Southwest Chief, an attack on a PRIVATELY funded passenger rail project (aka, government shackling the hands of entrepreneurs with over-regulation), and how modern train equipment saved lives in California's Metrolink accident.
"I wish to extend my appreciation to members of the Rail Passengers Association for their steadfast advocacy to protect not only the Southwest Chief, but all rail transportation which plays such an important role in our economy and local communities. I look forward to continuing this close partnership, both with America’s rail passengers and our bipartisan group of senators, to ensure a bright future for the Southwest Chief route."
Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS)
