    Portland & Western Railroad, Inc. (PNWR) has filed a notice to abandon a section of railroad track in Tigard, Oregon, covering about 4,111 feet, as there has been no train traffic on it since 2007. The exemption will take effect in January 2025, provided no objections or offers of financial assistance are received. PNWR has ensured that all environmental, historic, and procedural requirements for the abandonment process have been met. If there are any issues with the notice’s accuracy, the exemption could be invalidated, and any affected employees are entitled to protections.

    The Portland & Western Railroad wants to stop using a piece of train track in Oregon because no trains have used it for a long time. They'll go ahead with this plan next year if no one objects or offers to pay to keep it open.
