    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) filed a petition requesting permission for the trackage rights granted by CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) to expire as per their agreement. These trackage rights, over a 95-mile rail line, were intended to reroute NSR's traffic while CSXT's Howard Street Tunnel (HST) in Baltimore undergoes construction. The Surface Transportation Board (STB) decided to grant NSR's petition, allowing the trackage rights to end once the HST project is completed and NSR resumes using its original route through the tunnel. The decision includes measures to protect employees affected by the change in trackage rights.

    Simple Explanation

    Norfolk Southern Railway wants to stop using some shared train tracks because they have finished fixing a nearby tunnel, and the train board said they can do that. They made sure to have some rules to help train workers who might be affected by this change.

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    BNSF Railway Company filed a request with the Surface Transportation Board to allow certain temporary trackage rights from the Union Pacific Railroad to expire at the end of 2025. These trackage rights enable BNSF to transport ballast trains between specific locations in California. The Board agreed to BNSF's request, stating that this would reduce regulatory oversight and would not negatively impact market power, as the rights are limited and specifically serve maintenance purposes. The Board's decision included protections for any employees affected by the change and is set to be effective on May 30, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    BNSF Railway asked for permission to stop using some train tracks that they borrowed from another company by the end of 2025, and the government said yes because it wouldn't cause any trouble and the borrowed tracks were just for fixing things.
