Description

With the steep decline of passenger traffic on railroads, it became necessary to eliminate entire passenger trains from operation. This document shows how such a process would be completed. Petitions were filed to the Interstate Commerce Commission to eliminate or discontinue a passenger train, and testimony would be collected. At the end of the process, the commission would present a decision allowing or denying the request.
