Howard Street CSX Tunnel Expansion Tanked

Last week, CSX Transportationshocked the Hogan administration and local officials by withdrawing its support for an expansion of the Howard Street Tunnel. What does that decision mean for the city and for the Port of Baltimore? And, what does it mean for the current tunnel, which was built in the 1890s? It was the site of a large chemical fire after a 60 train-car pile-up, which did severe damage to underground infrastructure, 16 years ago.    

 
Colin Campbellis a reporter for the Baltimore Sun who wrote about CSX's decision to tank the tunnel plans.  
David Warnockis the co-founder of Camden Partners, a venture capital firm, and a former candidate for Mayor. They join Tom to talk about the Howard Street tunnel.
