As crazy as it sounds, that's believable given the "Buy America" requirements for use of Fed $$. It takes so long to get an exemption (and it's so iffy) that if you can find somebody who rolls the rail AND can certify that the raw steel came from the US then you just have to design your transit project to use it regardless of any other considerations.
