The rail industry’s recent shift towards larger and heavier railcars has influenced Class III/short line railroad operation and track maintenance costs. Class III railroads earn less than $38.1 million in annual revenue and generally operate first and last leg shipping for their customers. In Kansas, Class III railroads operate approximately 40 percent of the roughly 2,800 miles (4,500 km) of rail; however, due to the current Class III track condition, they move lighter railcars at lower speeds than Class I railroads.

Yet, when the last page turned on 2020, our tale didn’t end with happily-ever-after; nor did it conclude as a tragedy. Instead, 2020’s narrative featured everyday heroes, brandishing their perseverance and ingenuity to fight common foes — the villain Pandemic and its sidekick Recession. Just two months into a promising new year, the rogue novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) appeared on scene, soon spreading throughout the land.

  • EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway Company
    BA# 2738 B.C.D. 01-74 SEP 2 0 2001 EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway Company This is a determination of the Railroad Retirement Board concerning the continued status of San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway Company (SD&AE) (BA No. 2738) as an employer under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 231 et seq.) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. § 351 et seq.) The SD&AE was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company until November 1, 1979, when the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB) purchased the stock of SD&AE, becoming the sole owner thereof. The property was acquired for use in connection with a public transit system. To conduct the freight operations of the SD&AE, MTDB contracted with Kyle Railways, Inc. (Kyle) (BA No. 9003), which in turn created a subsidiary for freight operation purposes, namely, the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Transportation Company (BA No. 2751). In 1984, MTDB sought a new operator.1 In Finance Docket No. 30457, decided August 9, 1984, the ICC authorized San Diego and Imperial Valley Railroad (SD&IV) (BA No. 3758) to conduct railroad operations over the line.2 In a footnote to a subsequent decision, the ICC noted that SD&AE, as owner of the line, holds the residual common carrier obligation to provide rail service on the line. (See ICC Finance Docket 30457, decided September 20, 1985, footnote 8). In its decision regarding the employer status of Railroad Ventures, Inc. (B.C.D.
