Jkt 259001
On October 5, 2022, a group of
landowners (Landowners) 1 filed an
application 2 under 49 U.S.C. 10903
requesting that the Surface
Transportation Board (Board) authorize
the third-party, or adverse,
abandonment of 6.2 miles of rail line
extending from milepost 0.0 at
Johnstown, Colo., to milepost 6.2 near
Welty, Colo. (the Line), owned by Great
Western Railway of Colorado, LLC
(Great Western). The Line traverses U.S.
Postal Service Zip Codes 80534 and
80513.
According to the Landowners, the
Line was constructed in 1902 and 1903
to transport sugar beets from a sugar
beet dump facility, which closed in the
1970s. In 2008, Great Western filed a
verified notice of exemption to abandon
the Line. See Great W. Ry. of Colo.,
LLC—Aban. Exemption—in Weld Cnty.,
Colo., Docket No. AB 857 (Sub-No. 1X).
After notice of the exemption was
served and published in the Federal
Register, the Board issued a notice of
interim trail use or abandonment
authorizing negotiations for interim trail
use/rail banking of the Line under the
Board’s regulations at 49 CFR 1152.29
and granted six one-year extensions of
the deadline to exercise abandonment
authority. However, in 2014, Great
Western filed a letter stating that it had
decided to reopen the Line and would
not be consummating the abandonment.
1 The 27 landowners are listed in Appendix 1 to
the application.
2 The application is considered filed 20 days after
the Landowners filed a September 15, 2022
amendment to a September 13, 2022 revised
environmental and historic report. See Colo.
Landowners—Adverse Aban.—Great W. Ry. of
Colo., LLC, in Weld Cnty., Colo., AB 857 (Sub-No.
2), slip op. at 1 (STB served Sept. 7, 2022).

According to the Landowners, the
Line has not been used for Boardregulated rail transportation for
approximately 43 years and there is no
reasonable prospect for such use in the
foreseeable future. The Landowners
state that no shippers have used the
Line since 1979, and that the Line has
been used only for random and sporadic
rail car storage between 2008 and 2016.
The Landowners further claim that
Great Western has performed no
maintenance on the railroad right-ofway, such that use of the Line for rail
transportation is impossible and/or cost
prohibitive. The Landowners state that
they are seeking the adverse
abandonment to pave the way for action
under Colorado law to free the land
from Great Western’s easement.
In a decision served on February 11,
2022, the Landowners were granted
exemptions from several statutory
provisions and waivers of certain Board
regulations that were unnecessary to the
adverse abandonment application or
that sought information not available to
the Landowners.
The Landowners state that, to their
knowledge, the Line does not contain
any federally granted rights-of-way. Any
documentation in the Landowners’
possession will be made available
promptly to those requesting it. The
Landowners’ entire case-in-chief for
adverse abandonment was filed with the
application.
The Landowners state that the
interests of railroad employees will be
protected by the conditions set forth in
Oregon Short Line Railroad—
Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch
Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C.
91 (1979).
Any interested person may file
written comments concerning the
proposed adverse abandonment or
protests (including protestant’s entire
opposition case) by November 21, 2022.
Persons who may oppose the proposed
adverse abandonment but who do not
wish to participate fully in the process
by submitting verified statements of
witnesses containing detailed evidence
should file comments. Persons opposing
the proposed adverse abandonment who
wish to participate actively and fully in
the process should file a protest,
observing the filing, service, and content
requirements of 49 CFR 1152.25. The
Landowners’ reply is due by December
5, 2022.
Any request for an interim trail use/
rail banking condition under 16 U.S.C.
1247(d) and 49 CFR 1152.29 must be
