Rail line abandonment could threaten Corn Belt plant in Humboldt County
Corn Belt Power Cooperative warns that abandoning the 6.1 mile Humboldt County branch line could force the nearby generating plant to shut down. The Chicago and North Western Transportation Company plan to abandon three branch lines, with a March 16 public hearing in Humboldt to review DOT and ICC procedures. Corn Belt stresses coal transport by rail is essential and trucking would be uneconomical.
