[ale] OT: Maglev funding?

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

Anyone know if the spending bill included funds for the Atlanta -
Chattanooga HSGT line (High Speed Ground Transportation)?

== Background

If you don't know there is an ongoing HSGT (Maglev or Steel Rail)
project that may eventually go from:

Savannah - Atlanta - Chattanooga - Nashville - Chicago

The Atlanta - Chattanooga section is the furthest along and about to
enter "Tier 2" status I think (but I think Tier 2 activity is
currently unfunded):

If you go to page 10, you see it is one of 3 east of the Mississippi
projects (LA - Vegas is the big west of the Mississippi project).

I'm hoping this project will get a big boost from the spending bill.
