ACSM government affairs update: Preservation of Railroad Monumentation - WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are continuing to work the proposed Preservation of Railroad Monumentation legislation through Congress and we've found a lot of interest in the issue, but we need your help. The Members of Congress and staff that we spoke to about the issue would like to hear real life examples of how this issue affects property owners in their Districts. That's where your help comes in. We need your stories! Have you experienced difficulties because railroad monumentation was removed? How did it affect your work? How did it affect the property owners who hired you?

No story is too small. Every story shows the importance of this issue. Send your stories to Curtis Sumner, LS, ACSM Executive Director at curtis.sumner@acsm.net, and they'll use them as they continue to bring this important issue to Congress.
