The Railway Supply Institute (RSI) has endorsed the proposed Freight RAILCAR Act, a bill introduced in Congress last week that would help generate private investment in freight rail-car manufacturing. The "Freight Rail Assistance and Investment to Launch Coronavirus-era Activity and Recovery Act" would offer freight rail-car owners a time-limited 50 percent tax credit for purchasing new freight rail cars or refurbishing existing cars that result in improving capacity or fuel by at least 8 percent, RSI officials said in a press release.
