White seeks El Paso to New Orleans rail route inclusion
U S Rep Richard C White urged inclusion of the El Paso to New Orleans rail segment in a proposed basic national passenger system. He notified the U S Department of Transportation the Texas Railroad Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission after a preliminary report listed El Paso as an intermediate point on the Los Angeles to Chicago corridor. The request cites hearings showing strong demand for service in the El Paso area eastward, which is otherwise well served by other transport. The report is preliminary with a 30 day comment period.
