I went back and read it again. It does, indeed, say "siding improvements." I assume that these siding improvements would be paid for by FRA, that is, by you and me, rather than by UP. If UP wants to improve its sidings, it can do so whenever it likes.
So again, I say, if UP wants to take the federal dollar, UP has to give something in return. Such as, an agreement about how much, and when, the sidings may be stuffed. I'm sure the feds will make UP agree to this before they hand out the money, won't they? They will, won't they?
