	USCA1 Opinion 99-2016
		Guilford's suggestion that "to enforce liability" should be understood as "to enforce [a] liability [previously determined by an STB order]" requires a significant leap from the subsection as written.
		Guilford argues that such a referral is appropriate because referral to the STB will promote uniformity in the interpretation of the ICCTA, and because the STB is "better equipped than [the] courts by specialization, by insight gained through experience, and by more flexible procedure" to decide the question.
		Guilford argues that the policy underlying the ICA -- protecting the public from railroad monopolies -- is vastly different from the deregulatory impulse behind the ICCTA.

	Statement
		Guilford responds that it has tried to accommodate Pejepscot, but admits that it has not provided any service to the plant.
		Guilford argues that it is not obligated to do so, because, in its view, Pejepscot’s traffic would not justify the expense to rehabilitate and operate the line to Topsham, which has been out of service for many years.

	Guilford Transportation v. P.U.C.
		Guilford, on the other hand, argues that deference is granted the PUC in ratemaking, utility finance, costs of service and other topics within its particular expertise, but this case is simply a contract dispute and does not involve the PUC's expertise.
		Guilford counters this argument by contending that paragraph nine refers only to CMP's communication wires used to communicate between a control center and a switch.
		Guilford argues that because fiber optic cable does not have an electrical charge, the fee schedule demonstrates that the parties could not have intended the agreement to cover fiber optic cable.

	News Release - 01-19
		Surface Transportation Board (Board) Linda J. Morgan announced today that the Board has issued a decision addressing "preemption" issues in a case in which the Town of Ayer, Massachusetts (Ayer), is at odds with The Boston and Maine Corporation, Springfield Terminal Railway Co., and Guilford Transportation Industries, Inc. (collectively, "Guilford").
		Congress broadened the preemption provision of the law in the Staggers Rail Act of 1980, and further in the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA) to such an extent that the courts have found most state and local regulation of transportation and transportation facilities to be preempted.
		Therefore, Guilford went to federal district court for a declaration that federal law preempted the local laws that Ayer and its agencies sought to apply.
