Event History
- 07/06/1997 -- End of Pending - Reconsideration
- 05/28/1997 -- Approved (Deny the railroad's request to repeal the order setting train speed limits in each city. Approve the alternative request to set speed limits at the maximum levels allowed by the Federal Railroad Administration in modified form as follows: Increase the passenger train speed to 79 mph and the freight train speed to 60 mph in each city. Current train speed restrictions for each curve should be noted but not specifically ordered. The railroad is required to comply with Federal Railroad Administration restrictions and their own internal standards on speeds for curved track within each city. The BNSF is required to notify the Commission and each affected city 60 days prior to increasing speeds on curved track if such increased speeds become allowed by changes in internal rules, Federal Railroad Administration rules, track geometry or by any other circumstance.)
