	Moran (KS01) - Press Release - Moran Bill To Assist Railroads Receives Overwhelming Support In Congress
		"Kansas has more than 2,000 miles of short line railroad track, which is critical to keeping rural communities and rail customers connected to the national transportation system," said Ed McKechnie, Vice President of Watco Companies, Inc., of Pittsburg, KS, which operates three of the state's short line railroads.
		Short line railroad service has been so important to Kansas that many counties have banded together in the Mid States Port Authority to help preserve railroad routes that are operated by a private short line carrier.
		If short line railroad infrastructure cannot be upgraded, many communities will lose rail service, and Kansans will face serious problems in transporting their goods to consumers.
