   A while ago we heard news quoting the head of the FRA (Szabo?), saying   
   the FRA was rewriting its safety rules, and saying something like "we   
   won't be building tanks anymore".  Naturally we all hope that means an   
   end to the buffer strength rule, and the possibility of the US having   
   light, low, fast passenger trains, like the rest of the developed   
   world.   
      
   I haven't heard anything lately.  Is there news?  Is there hope?
