US Business Ban on French Railway

Thought it was requisitioned by the Germans, therefore it hardly transported anyone voluntarily?
"France's state-owned railway is set to be banned from bidding for a £4 billion contract in the USA because of its role in the World War II Holocaust, it emerged today.
SNCF runs some of the fastest and most efficient lines in the world but has a dark history which saw it transport thousands of Jews to their deaths in German concentration camps.
Now senators in the US state of Maryland have proposed a bill which would make it illegal for the French to apply for prestige projects.
Keolis, a rail company which is majority-owned by SNCF, wants to bid for a £4 billion plus contract to build a 12 miles light railway in America over 35 years.
The proposed service would run between Montgomery and Prince George counties, but more than 50,000 locals have signed a petition opposing the involvement of SNCF.
Senator Joan Carter Conway told Le Monde: ‘The persistent refusal of SNCF to take responsibility for its role in the Holocaust remains an insult to its victims.’
She and other senators want SNCF to pay compensation to Holocaust survivors before they are allowed to do business in the states.
Alain Leray, head of SNCF in America, in turn said his company would analyse the proposed bill for ‘possible discrimination’. "
