Coos Bay port sues railroad
Monday, October 22, 2007 | No comments posted.
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.
Find out more about the lawsuit, the damages the port is seeking and closure impacts to the economic development agency in Tuesday's World.
