Summary

Amends the Department of Transportation Act to direct the Secretary of Transportation to reallocate appropriations for rail service assistance solely to States which require supplementary assistance to mitigate the effect caused by the filing of large-scale abandonments by railroads in liquidation or reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act. Sets forth the factors to be considered in such reallocation, including the amount of mileage in the State for which the application for abandonment or discontinuance has been filed and the relationship between such mileage and the total rail mileage in such State.
