Motion for Reconsideration in Guthrie Passenger Case
Assistant Attorney General Henshaw states four petitions to the Supreme Court seek reconsideration of the Guthrie ruling. The Marietta passenger train decision upheld a modest daily service from Parcel north to Guthrie, arguing four trains were unnecessary. If reversed, railroads could route trains across state lines in one direction and return in another, creating overlapping service claims. The appeal contends the order should require a daily round trip permitting a single train to serve both northern and southern districts.
