Complaint filed over line closure

Lawyers for the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay filed a lawsuit Monday against the Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad. The port is seeking millions of dollars in damages over the railroad's decision to shut down the Coos Bay short line in September.

Documents filed in U.S. District Court do not contend the railroad had no right to close the line, but rather it didn't give enough notice.
