Milford-Bennington Railroad Co v. Pan Am Railways, Inc.

HOWARD, Circuit Judge.

Milford-Bennington Railroad Company, Inc. (“MBR”) appeals an award of summary judgment to Pan Am Railways, Inc.; Boston and Maine Corporation; and Springfield Terminal Railway Company (collectively, “Pan Am”) in a dispute arising from Pan Am’s actions under a contract to provide MBR with access to Pan Am’s railroad tracks. The district court held that Pan Am did not breach its duty of good faith and fair dealing when it exercised its contractual right to exclude an MBR employee from its trackage for violating a safety rule. We affirm.
