Lets hope they get the grant. I currently work for a company that repairs rail cars and our main source of buisness is auto racks. They are excess height rail cars that will not fit through tunnels which is the only route we have left to get them to us. Without bridges we are looking at layoffs or loss of jobs. Let the govt. know that.

For your information, everything in the United States is shipped by Rail. Anymore, it is the most efficient way to do so as well. Remember that when complaining. If industries did not have the cargo that is shipped by rail, prices would skyrocket even higher!
