Colorado Central Rail Route Ruling Shapes Public Duty
Judge Love holds a railroad cannot be abandoned if it has a public contract to provide transport. If unprofitable, the line may be sold with losses borne by speculators. The Colorado case mirrors a Larimer county suit seeking a mandamus to force operation of the Fort Collins to Cheyenne segment, abandoned seven years by Union Pacific, harming Fort Collins and region. All signs point to a verdict for the people.
