Holcaust group critizes Keolis who wants to run MARC

Some Holocaust survivors are criticizing Virginia Railway Express for awarding an $85 million contract to operate and maintain its trains to a company partly owned by the French railway that transported people to Nazi concentration camps

The company, Keolis Rail Services America, also has submitted a bid to the Maryland Transit Administration to operate the MARC Brunswick and Camden lines now under CSX control, a Keolis official said. The five-year contract is pending, a MARC spokesman said.

its time for Holocause groups to shut up, any person activly involved with the Holocause is over 85 years old and presumably no longer working for any European firms.

Actually Dutch it is 60 in France and they are striking over the government's proposal to move that to 62....

That and the month of August off too....

If I were the VRE guys I would have signed with Keolis - just insisted on French work rules ROFL

Seriously wasn't that whole deal while France was an occupied country?

They didn't seem to have any problems with the test runs of the German ICE trains on the NEC.

This is completely stupid. How is SNCF of today culpable for what Vichy France did during the war? Like the people working in SNCF at the time had any choice about it.
