Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad v. Nebraska State Railway Commission

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company commenced this proceeding before the Nebraska State Railway Commission to secure permission to discontinue motor passenger trains numbered 15 and 16 which are operated daily between Lincoln, Nebraska, and the Iowa-Nebraska state line near Sioux City, Iowa. No formal objections were filed to the application, but citizens from five of the communities served by the trains in question appeared and testified in opposition to their discontinuance. The commission, after public hearing, denied the application and the railroad company appeals.
