SS: The president stopped funding for what is perhaps the most urgently needed piece of infrastructure currently under construction, the gateway rail tunnel which is part of Amtrak’s northeast corridor. The current tunnel is in a state of severe disrepair and so a new one is under construction to prevent service interruptions to the US’s most economically important passenger rail service.
On Friday, Democrats refused a deal that would maintain funding in exchange for renaming New York’s Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport after Trump. A federal judge has now issues a TRO blocking the Trump administration from halting work on the project while New York and New Jersey file a permanent injunction.
Why is this applicable to r/nl: trains. Also vital infrastructure being held up on the petty whim of the president, but mostly trains.
