Looks like James Simpson who was NJ Transport Commissioner for many years under Christie and before that at FTA, is in the running for Secretary of Transportation. Actually his creds are stronger than Mica's

Certainly better than Mica as far as Amtrak goes and probably one of the better choices from among all the choices for various Secretaries that has been talked about. At least we in the passenger rail advocacy community know him well and he is not a disaster.
No draining the swamp there though
