    I won’t hold my breathe until there is major progress, but all these plans will get thrown in the trash if Republicans regain the White House and if Democrats don’t either take control of Congress or at least make gains. Republicans have been trying to kill of Amtrak and any US rail improvements for decades now.

    Like with seemingly everything else, if Republicans are involved, they will stubbornly try to hold us back come hell or high water.
