Well, it looks like all the intense lobbying paid off. As of 11/21, a total of 224 Members of the House of Representatives have signed on as co-sponsors of H.R. 876 the Local Railroad Rehabilitation and Infastructure Act. This is the Bill that will help short lines get transferrable tax credits of $10,000 per mile per year for infrastructure spending. Aminimum of 219 co-sponsors were needed to assure passage in the House. <br /> <br />Now the battle moves to the Senate where at least 51 Senators are needed for passage. Only six Senators have committed to date as co-sponsors. Please let your Senators know this Bill is important to you. <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />
