QUOTE: Originally posted by Limitedclear The Infrastructure Bill in Congress to provide tax credits for short lines to help them afford to upgrade to 286K cars. This bill will provide $10,000/mile/year of tax credits to the short lines for a five year period. So a 50 mile long short line could get as much as $2.5Million in transferrable tax credits to spend towards repairing infrastructure (track, bridges, tunnels, etc). Keep your favorite line around. Write your congressman in support of H.R. 876. Over 150 Congressmen/women already have cosponsored. If 219 will, the bill can pass without a vote... Got this info from my short line friends. LC
