Western Railroad Discussion > Any update on Towner Line rail removal?Date: 09/10/14 09:25 Any update on Towner Line rail removal? Author: frntinplate Any new information on rail removal status of the Towner Line? Seems all the threads and links show what was happening, nothing seems to state the current status of court orders or rail removal.

Author: NDHolmes As far as I know, the District Court order served on them just before Labor Day has stopped them from doing anything more, and now it's up to the lawyers. I've been buried in work for the last couple weeks, so I haven't gotten back out to check on them (or for that matter, gotten much of anything else other than work done...)

A suit was also filed in Federal court to block any scrapping action until the STB approves the removal. Posting the PDF would have been much easier than three photos.
