IDOT protests rail abandonment in central Iowa
The Iowa Department of Transportation commission voted to protest the 27 miles of Chicago and North Western Railroad slated for abandonment and to support a bid to buy the line. The North Central Railway Association led a 15 member delegation to the Ames meeting, seeking to acquire 110 miles of CN&W lines from Mason City to Marshalltown and Coulter to Clarksville for operation as a shortline. The push followed CNW's announcement of abandonment after an Aug 17 bid and an Aug 26 filing to abandon the Hampton to Steamboat Rock segment.
