Casprail contacted Congressman Peter DeFazio’s office to obtain the names of contacts at the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to urge consideration of the Corvallis passenger rail route for an Environment Impact Study.

Kathy Dedrick, Congressman’s DeFazio’s chief of staff provided two contacts at the FRA:  Corey Hill and Douglas Gascon.

I wrote to Corey and Douglas asking them to reconsider the Oregon Passenger Rail leadership councils’ recommendation to use a more eastern route that by-passes Monroe and Corvallis.

I will post any replies that I receive on this site.

My thanks to Kathy Dedrick for her quick reply to my inquiry.
