[quote user="overall"] <p>According to the “Thomas” website (this is a site devoted to tracking activities in Congress) nothing much has really happened on this. HR 2125 has been referred to the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials. This happened on May 4th of this year. S 953 is in the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Senate Subcommittee on Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure, Safety and Security. Hearings held. This happened on October 23rd of this year. Maybe it will just die in committee.</p><p>George</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Congress has failed to do much of anything this year. I understand that 9 of 10 budget bills are incomplete so far. I think that there is a power fight by the Democrats to wrest total control of Congress and the Executive long before the upcoming elections.</p><p>I dont think that the status of regulation is going to slow the railroads or improve them. I read today that CSX had yet another derailment in Baltimore. All the regulation in the world is useless if you aint got good track to run the choo choo on.</p>
