Idaho Supreme Court Reverses Passenger Rail Order Cache Valley Line
The Idaho Supreme Court reversed a Public Service Commission order requiring Union Pacific to run passenger service on the Cache Valley branch between Cache Junction Utah and Preston Idaho, while upholding passenger service on the Ogden Utah Malad Idaho branch. Justice Budge wrote the opinion with Justices Falatie and Givens concurring. The decision notes negligible use of the Cache Valley service and cites alternative transport options and national defense needs, while affirming ongoing Malad line service due to freight demand and lack of parallel routes.
