Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A railway corporation or railroad holding company having identified a railroad line in North 
Dakota for abandonment pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10904(e)(2)(B) shall provide the commission or 
its designated representatives with access to all records directly relating to the railroad line to be 
abandoned so an accurate assessment can be made of the line's revenues, profits, and losses. 
After notice of intent to abandon is given to the governor by the railway corporation or railroad 
holding company, the commission or its representatives may examine the railway corporation's 
or railroad holding company's records that are directly related to the railroad line to be 
abandoned to determine the accuracy of the claims concerning the railway line and to determine 
whether an abandonment protest should be filed with the surface transportation board.
