Santa Fe to slow walk plan on Kansas abandonments
Santa Fe chairman Robert D. Krebs said the railroad will wait until next year to file its first abandonment application with the Interstate Commerce Commission, delaying action on 719 miles of Kansas track. He emphasized listening to communities and finding short line operators to keep some branch lines open. Krebs spoke after meetings with lawmakers including Rep. Dan Glickman and Sen. Bob Dole, noting ongoing restructuring to fend off takeovers and reduce debt.
