NOTE: Our CRM, CharityEngine, has been dealing with outages - similar to Microsoft's issues this week - and it is affecting our ability to create a PDF of this week's Hotline. As soon as we get the all clear, we will make sure it's up as soon as we can.
"I wish to extend my appreciation to members of the Rail Passengers Association for their steadfast advocacy to protect not only the Southwest Chief, but all rail transportation which plays such an important role in our economy and local communities. I look forward to continuing this close partnership, both with America’s rail passengers and our bipartisan group of senators, to ensure a bright future for the Southwest Chief route."
Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS)
