    WASHINGTON, D.C. – September 27, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (CT-5) wrote to the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials today to urge that the subcommittee hold a hearing to investigate deficiencies in our energy infrastructure and safety practices that threaten the reliability of rail service.
