The State may pay its share of the costs in cash or through the following benefits, to the extent that the benefits otherwise would not be provided:

(A) forgiveness of taxes imposed on a rail carrier or its property.

When a State, or a person acting for a State, pays more than the State share of the costs of its projects during a fiscal year, the excess amount shall be applied to the State share for the costs of the State projects for later fiscal years.

(b) Agreements to combine amounts.--States may agree to combine any part of the amounts made available under this chapter to carry out a project that is eligible for assistance under this chapter when--

(1) the project will benefit each State making the agreement; and

(2) the agreement is not a violation of State law.
