If you go about 30% down Summary: H.R.2 — 116th Congress (2019-2020) -- [www.congress.gov] -- the document linked in the OP, you should see --
"DIVISION D--RAIL
This division addresses various rail related provisions, including the National Rail Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), intercity passenger rail policy, commuter rail policy, and rail safety.
Among other provisions, this division
• authorizes appropriations through FY2025 to provide grants to support Amtrak's intercity passenger rail service on the Northeast Corridor and the National Network;
• prohibits Amtrak from imposing mandatory arbitration clauses when passengers purchase tickets;
• modifies provisions related to the Northeast Corridor Commission, including to require the commission to submit a strategic development plan that identifies key state-of-good repair, capacity expansion, and capital improvement projects planned for the corridor.
• directs Metra (Chicago commuter rail system) and Amtrak to develop one-year and five-year improvement plans for Chicago Union Station;
• requires DOT to enter into an agreement with the National Academies to conduct a study and issue a report on the safety impacts of freight trains longer than 7,500 feet; and
• directs DOT to issue and publish a national strategy on how it plans to address blocked railroad crossings."
So there is a rr connection in the bill.
