The line, known as the Towner Line, extends between milepost 747.5 near Towner and milepost 869.4 PO 00000 Frm 00154 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 22361 near NA Junction in Pueblo, Crowley, Kiowa, and Otero Counties, Colo. As discussed below, the application is substantially complete and will be accepted. However, the applicants should provide certain supplemental material described below by April 29, 2016. This decision also establishes a procedural schedule. Background The Towner Line has been the subject of two other Board proceedings during the past two years. In Docket No. NOR 42140, KCVN, the Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee, the Colorado Association of Wheat Growers, and the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation (collectively, the Colorado Interests) filed a complaint on October 28, 2014, alleging that V&S violated 49 U.S.C. 11101 and 10903 by removing certain track and related assets from a segment of the Towner Line (the Western Segment) without first seeking abandonment authority.1 On May 7, 2015, the Board partially granted the Colorado Interests’ concurrently filed motion for preliminary injunction, and barred V&S from removing and dismantling track and related assets from the Western Segment pending the Board’s ruling on the complaint. Thereafter the parties moved to hold the complaint case in abeyance pending V&S’s decision to seek abandonment authority for the Towner Line. The Board granted this request in a decision served on July 17, 2015, and the complaint case remains in abeyance. On August 3, 2015, V&S filed a verified notice of exemption in Docket No. AB 603 (Sub-No. 4X) to abandon the Towner Line, as it had agreed to do in Docket No. NOR 42140. The Board served and published notice of the exemption in the Federal Register, and KCVN and Colorado Pacific sought information from V&S to allow them to file an offer of financial assistance under 49 U.S.C. 10904 to purchase the line. V&S provided the information, but that information suggested that the Towner Line passes through a county and zip code not included in V&S’s verified notice. The Board therefore directed V&S to supplement its verified notice if necessary. Rather than filing a supplement, V&S attempted to amend the notice to seek authority to only discontinue operations over the Towner Line rather than abandon it. KCVN opposed that amendment. In a decision served on January 15, 2016, the Board 1 The Western Segment extends between milepost 808.3 near Haswell, Colo., and milepost 868.5, which is approximately 0.9 miles short of the Towner Line’s western terminus at milepost 869.4.
