On April 7, 2009, Huron & Eastern

abandon a 2.5-mile rail line between 

milepost 0.0, at Owosso, and milepost

County, MI. The line traverses United 

States Postal Service Zip Codes 48841 

and 48867, and includes the station of 

Owosso Jct. 

The line does not contain federally 

granted rights-of-way. Any

The interest of railroad employees 

will be protected by the conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line R. Co.—

By issuing this notice, the Board is 

instituting an exemption proceeding

See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 

All interested persons should be

49 CFR 1152.28 or for trail use/rail 

banking under 49 CFR 1152.29 will be
