Senate approves 347 million railroad aid bill and ConRail plan
The Senate passed a 347 million railroad aid measure 62 to 30 after an 86 to 8 filibuster halt. The package backs operating funds for Penn Central and other carriers until ConRail consolidates 15 000 miles across 17 Northern states with 6 200 miles to be abandoned or subsidized, at an estimated 7 3 billion to modernize track and equipment over 14 years. The plan aims to merge Penn Central with six Northeastern railroads including Reading Lehigh Valley Central of New Jersey Lehigh and Hudson River Ann Arbor and Erie Lackawanna. The filibuster tied to a procedural rule change, not the rail bill.
