Railroad merger faces potential legal hurdles say officials
Ohio Sun reports Hocking Valley and Kanawha and Michigan railways may face legal obstacles to their merger. Attorney General Ellis will hold a hearing next Monday before any action. Officials argue parallel lines do not create new routes and the consolidation would resemble a second track rather than altering traffic between Logan and Gallipolis.
