Since every consultancy that performs these studies has to be selected through a competitive and public RFP (or be in violation of Federal contracting laws or have a sole source justification that can be contested), I don't understand how it is that you keep insisting that all these studies are graft.
Any upgrades to existing transportation infrastructure or service and new transportation infrastructure or service has to begin with a study, and its not unreasonable that when studying transportation improvements between two regions that the introduction of rail services be one of those studies.
