RYAL, LLC, a noncarrier company owned by Paul Didelius, has filed for a modified certificate of public convenience and necessity to lease and operate a 26-mile rail line in Washington State. This line is owned by the Port of Royal Slope and was previously leased to WRL, LLC. The line was authorized for abandonment in 1980 but remained operational after being sold to the Port in 1982. There are no subsidies involved, and shippers will not face preconditions for service. RYAL has also provided proof of insurance coverage as part of its filing.
Simple Explanation
RYAL, LLC wants to use and manage a railway track in Washington State that another company used to control, and they have insurance to do this safely. The bad news is we don't know how much money this will cost or how it might affect the people and nature nearby.
