The Lake State Railway has filed a notice to abandon roughly 6,805 feet of rail in Michigan.
The line extends from Sta. 9+00, approximately 270 feet northeast of the Carrollton and Ellsworth roads intersection, to the end of the line at Sta. 77+05, about 1,000 feet southwest of the North Niagara Street at-grade railroad crossing of the Huron & Eastern Railway Company in Saginaw County, Michigan.
The railroad certified that no local traffic has moved over the line for at least two years and that no overhead traffic could be or was previously handled on the stub-ended line. Additionally, according to the railroad, no formal complaint filed by a user of rail service on the line regarding cessation of service over the line is pending with either the Surface Transportation Board or any U.S. District Court or has been decided in favor of a complainant within the past two years.
As a condition of this exemption, any employee adversely affected by the abandonment shall be protected.
