Fourth Circuit -- Maryland Transit v. Surface Transportation Board

STB did not err in denying a railroad's request to partner with a state govt to improve property.  Statute requires ready funds and indemnification.  Deal made funds contingent to legislative approval and relied on sovereign immunity.

Board not overly ministerial.
