Butcher's Spur Abandonment We are advised by our attorney that an application at this time for abandonment of the railroad spur on the east side of Old Highway 8 is likely to be unsuccessful. The federal Surface Transportation Board will consider whether any current or potential uses served by rail would be displaced by the abandonment action.
