"To keep West Virginia moving forward, we must ensure our railway systems are safe, strong and efficient. I'm pleased to announce this $19.4 million investment in upgrades to the Appalachian and Ohio Railroad, which transports critical products throughout our great state, including coal, logs, lumber and chemicals. I look forward to seeing the positive impacts of this project for years to come and, as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue advocating for resources to bolster West Virginia's transportation systems."
