Burlington Files its Answer and Cross Petition
The Burlington railway filed in federal court an answer and cross petition to a state supreme court suit. It seeks a permanent injunction to bar the state railway commission and prosecutors from continuing prosecutions. The railroad notes passenger rates fell while operating expenses rose. It cites $110 million in capital stock with $37 million tied to Nebraska lines and about $148 million in funded debt. The petition asserts Nebraska lines were soundly placed and operated prudently, yet passenger service never covered operating costs, even when inter state fare was 2 cents per mile.
