States Barred From Enforcing Crossing Law and Union Station Rulings
Washington reports the Supreme Court ruling that states cannot force interstate railroads to join in union station construction or to abolish grade crossings. Connecticut’s law requiring one grade crossing removed for every fifty miles of track was suspended for financial reasons, with the Public Utilities commission empowered to order removals.
