Abandonment Plans Hit Butler County Rail Lines
Butler County officials and regional lawmakers oppose proposed abandonment of two Penn Central rail lines through New Miami Seven Mile Collinsville Somerville and the Middletown Monroe corridor. Hearings across the Midwest and New England warn of thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions in payroll losses amid energy pressures and higher transport costs. The plan arises from a 1973 US DOT report under the Regional Rail Reorganization Act as USRA prepares to reorganize 17 states of rail service.
