		In June 1994, the railroads filed these consolidated actions in state court asserting that the retroactive assessments are invalid on a number of state law grounds and under the federal constitution, and challenging the 18% interest on any amounts not paid by July 1, 1994.

		On November 27, 1892, curious onlookers scanned the eastern horizon at Kewaunee, Wisconsin, peering out over Lake Michigan to catch a glimpse of the Ann Arbor No. 1 as it approached, destined to become the first carferry to transport boxcars across that Great Lake.
		Although the Kewaunee, Green Bay & Western (KGB&W) had conceived this route to avoid the Chicago railyard bottleneck and serve as a more economical means of moving freight through this part of the Midwest, it was initially difficult to find shippers.
		Such a craning had never been attempted on an open body of water this size, thus many feared this mode of transportation was too risky.
