Thanks, Todd.  It is all related.  Our discussions with Amtrak covered both the authorization and the appropriations.

We will get back to you ASAP on a time for a call.  Are there other days next week in addition to Wednesday that might work for everyone?

John –

Thought you might have been referring to the longer-term authorization bill recently passed by the Senate (in addition to the appropriations amount being pursued by Eric).  You may have this info already , but just in case…

I will do some additional digging on prospects for final passage of the authorization bill.

As referenced below, the House already passed its version of the authorization bill (HR 749, PRRIA) by a 316-101 vote in March. Here is a link to the House bill:

Todd/John-

We were able to talk to Amtrak today and have an update on what they think their appropriations funding will be like this year along with some additional pockets of potential infrastructure funding.   If you would like to discuss by phone let us know.

Best,

Eric

Todd, let us know if there is something specific you want to know or is it just a general update on Amtrak funding in the current appropriations bill?

Todd, Hunter, can you provide an assessment of the likelihood of the proposal making it across the finish line and the timing if it does.
