House approves 125 million guarantee for Penn Central loans
The House voted 165 to 121 to back a 125 million federal guarantee, enabling Penn Central and related railroads in bankruptcy to borrow from private lenders. Aides warned a shutdown could cascade to 20,000 miles of track, 74 million people without power, and major city freight needs. Opponents urged more funds via regular loans and pooling among affiliated firms. The bill moves to the Senate as court filings note tax allocations involving P&LE and Penn Central.
