Title: Chicago VS Chicago Terminal round 2
Post by: D. Kaniuk on November 25, 2009, 01:27:14 PM

On Tuesday, Chicago filed a notice to alert everyone that Chicago will file in December to force abandonment of the Kingsbury and Lakewoods.
here is the STB filing:

That\'s too bad but I suppose it\'s inevitable.  If this adverse abandonment petition is approved Chicago Terminal will be a very short line indeed.  At least the city is not pushing for a complete abandonment-yet-though notifying in writing Sipi, General Iron, Big Bay, and Finkl is odd since they would not be impacted by severing off the lines described.
