Senate approves $210 million rail aid to keep trains running

The Senate passed a bill authorizing up to 210 million dollars for the Transportation Department to aid financially ailing railroads. The bill allocates 125 million to payoff a federally guaranteed Penn Central loan from 1970, though the administration later clarified the funds do not cover all past government obligations. The vote was 59 to 30, with Sen. Hartke defending the measure as essential for continued service until a long term rail crisis solution is found.
