How does this look guys? Quick ? - does Amtrak have a direct say in what
kind of cars they buy in the money allocated for those corridors?

Virginia and Tomar,

As I'm sure you saw Secretary LaHood announced yesterday that $336.2 million
will go towards locomotives and rail cars for California and the Midwest
(exact text below). We believe this is good news for CAF as these are the
types of cars Joe Boardman specifically mentioned were in CAF's wheelhouse.
Can we schedule a call later this week or early next to briefly discuss? I'm
also having lunch with Joe McHugh tomorrow (VP Government Relations at
Amtrak) - please let me know if there is anything in particular you would
like me to try and gain intelligence on.

*• Midwest Corridors* – $268.2 million to purchase 48 high-performance
passenger rail cars and 7 quick-acceleration locomotives for 8 corridors in
the Midwestern States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri.

*• California Corridors* – $68 million to acquire 15 high-performance
passenger rail cars and 4 quick-acceleration locomotives for the Pacific
Surfliner, San Joaquin, and Capitol Corridors in California.

Best,

Hunter
