propriate action to compel compliance with this part. 
‘‘(2) When the Board receives a complaint alleging 
that a rail carrier may be violating this part, the Board 
shall initiate an investigation. When the alleged violation 
applies to more than one person and the Board has sub-
stantial reason to believe that the allegations in the com-
plaint are likely to have merit and, if the allegations prove 
to have merit, it will be difficult to make complete restitu-
tion for the damage, the Board shall suspend the rail car-
rier activity in question, and shall not revoke that suspen-
sion unless the rail carrier justifies the practice to the sat-
isfaction of the Board.’’.
