Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel to the petitioner in this case.
Issue: Whether federal law giving the Surface Transportation Board exclusive jurisdiction over abandonment of rail lines and expressly
stating that conversion of a railroad right-of-way to an
interim trail use shall not be treated “for purposes of
any law” as abandonment preempts state law that
would deem a railroad right-of-way abandoned because of disuse or conversion to interim trail use.
