KCT Plans Abandonment of Ottawa Jola Rail Line
KCT Railway Corp of Salt Lake City seeks ICC approval to abandon 50.2 miles of track from Ottawa to Jola. Only one car has run since May, and the move could affect Ottawa’s easements, local taxes, and county records. Shippers along the line have already shifted to trucks or other transport.

Kassebaum pushes rail abandonment limits in Senate
Senator Nancy Kassebaum proposes legislation to curb railroad abandonments by forcing regulators to weigh community and farmer impacts. The bill would bar abandonments if lines show purposeful neglect and would require the ICC to consider historical grain shipments, not just recent data.

Fort Riley expansion in limbo
Fort Riley officials await Pentagon guidance on a moratorium on major land acquisitions. Garrison commander Gary LaGrange says they may study alternatives to land purchases and hope to avoid acquiring new land. The memo aims to reform how the DoD acquires land as it reshapes bases. Senator Kassebaum supports the move as a step forward to fix acquisition priorities.

County hearing on RMH mills Monday
Franklin County Commissioners hold a second 7 30 p m hearing on the budget in the old courthouse room. They added a two mill levy for Ransom Memorial Hospital after the first budget, prompting a revised budget and another public hearing. RMH trustees and administrators with citizens petitioned for the levy. The goal is to replace the old wing with 21 000 square feet of new space, with architectural drawings to be shown. The two mills would finance the replacement space only, while private financing plans for a medical office building are on hold as Ottawa Family Physicians seeks space in the county office annex.
