If NNEPRA were to make a play for some of the money, what's still in their honey-do list? Did they get the siding in Yarmouth done that PAR was saying they needed? Do they have a shovel-ready design for the Mountain Junction wye, or would they need to spend the money to get that together rather than on construction? AFAIK the "baseline PAR mainline improvements" are still undesigned; when NNEPRA asked for a TIGER grant for them they were pursuing Track II which I believe meant funds for design and engineering.
Of course, as was just pointed out, these funds also require a state match and AFAIK the recent Transportation bond issue was essentially entirely committed to specific projects before it went to the voters; no "slush fund" in case things like this came up.
