Moffat Road to operate on own basis again soon
The Moffat railroad plans to complete reorganization this summer and operate under its own financial structure by fall. A federal filing seeks approval to issue 2.5 million in first mortgage bonds, 11 million in income bonds, and 60 thousand shares of no par stock. Foreclosure steps and court action are expected within weeks to unlock sale of the line. Oil finds in Routt and Montrose counties boost revenue, accelerating the process.
