Who: Department of Transportation
What: Gave a Transportation Enhancement Grant worth $78,280 in taxpayer dollars to pay for the relocation and restoration of a “historic” caboose freight train car that once served the Virginian Railway.
Why it’s an outrage: Given Amtrak’s rising costs, why is taxpayer money getting spent on restoring decorative freight cars?
Where to vent: Call the department’s Transit Administration Office at 215-656-7100.
