Midland aut: judge rejects Colorado intervene in railway case
Tulge Schaefer today denied the petition of the state of Colorado to intervene in the Colorado Midland Railway proceedings. The decision keeps the previous order for dismantling in force with the August 5 action. The last train will run tonight, with portions to be sold to other railways and a lease to the Short Line to maintain Cripple Creek district outlet until a trestle is restored. Judge Shaefer said intervention aimed to push the decision to the supreme court and noted the line had never been profitable and is in worse financial shape. The court also ruled the public utilities commission lacks exclusive jurisdiction.
