Kansas branch line kept open after ICC ruling
The Interstate Commerce Commission decided to preserve the Katy branch line from Chanute to Piqua, a 17.2 mile stretch. The Missouri Kansas Texas Railroad had sought abandonment, but hearings in August favored keeping service for Kansas customers. The decision challenges a trend of railroad abandonments and supports efforts to revitalize rural business areas along trunk lines.
