Hotline #900

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.
"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
