A highly political and contentious subject to be sure. The politicians want the public to think they are doing something so they can get reelected. The railroads need relief from an onerous piece of legislation, and in the final analysis, the consumer will be forced to pay the bill.
As for passage of SB 650, anything originating at the Republican's desks stands little chance of getting approved by the current administration.
BaltACD brings into focus other obstacles to be overcome. Will all parties agree to the necessary concessions? Not likely. The brick wall seems insurmountable at this point.

So .. do we close the routes that are not complete by the deadline? Would almost serve them right IMHO
Norm,
I agree with your points on this. I have not looked into this, but if the deadline cannot be extended, and the railroads can't meet it; then what?
