Senators push national interstate rail system plan
Senators Vance Hartke and Lowell P. Weicker Jr. propose a national Interstate Railroad System led by a non-profit Northeast Rail Line Corporation to acquire bankrupt eastern lines like Penn Central, rehabilitate tracks for 60 mph freight and higher-speed passenger service, and designate nationwide corridors within two years. The plan suggests user fees, federal loan guarantees up to 209 million, and potential up to 1 billion in guarantees for acquisitions, while opposing partial abandonment of Penn Central.
