Herschel Bullen; Geo. D. Preston; Attorney; Utah-Idaho Central Railroad; U.I.C.; Railroad Abandonment; Union Pacific Railroad; U.P.; Logan, Utah; Oregon Short Line; O.S.L.; Judge Johnson
This letter from Geo. Preston, an Attorney in Logan, Utah, refers to a hearing over the Utah-Idaho Central Railroad and its future operation. Preston notes on February 14, 1947 that the situation seemed to be hopeless, that the financial situation of the U.I.C. was beyond the ability to maintain operations, and that Judge Johnson could not be persuaded to rule in favor of continuing the U.I.C. Preston does state that the line connecting Logan to the O.S.L. to Main Street could continue to be used temporarily under certain conditions.

F.H.

As the U.I.C. petitioned for bankruptcy, Bullen reached out to the Interstate Commerce Commission to support the protest of some Cache Valley citizens and companies against the petition. Bullen also asked the I.C.C. to consider the obligation of the Union Pacific to take over the lines if needed. Oliver E. Sweet responded on June 11, 1947 stating that the hearing for the petition of bankruptcy had no opposing voices and that the local courts would need to decide about the situation with the U.P.
