On August 6, 2021, the Surface Transportation Board (Board) issued a decision instituting a proceeding on an application filed by the National Passenger Railroad Corporation (Amtrak) regarding Amtrak’s operation of additional passenger trains over CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) and Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) lines between New Orleans, LA, and Mobile, AL.  Application of the Nat’l Passenger R.R. Corp. Under 49 U.S.C. § 24308(E)—CSX Transp., Inc. & Norfolk S. Ry. Co., FD 36496 (STB served Aug. 6, 2021).  In the decision, the Board also denied CSXT and NSR’s motion to dismiss the application.

I hope this letter finds you healthy and dealing the best you can with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Association of Transportation Law Professionals (ATLP) prides itself on the value that its programs bring to you as well as the opportunity for you to network and continue to develop relationships with your colleagues. Unfortunately, as a result of the pandemic, we have been forced to cancel the 2020 Annual Meeting set for Vancouver, BC in June. Given the current travel restrictions between the US and Canada, as well as the 14-day quarantine for US travelers who enter Canada and the numerous “shelter in place” orders enacted by a majority of states, the meeting is not feasible. Needless to say, this is a great disappointment for all, but rest assured that we are looking at other opportunities to bring you updated information relevant to your business, even if it must be done virtually.

ATLP's 91st Annual Meeting is fast approaching and we wanted to share some exciting things to do in Vancouver leading up to the event.
