Montana fights back against BNSF

The filing fee for STB disputes is $65,000. Add in all the other legal fees and other costs, not to mention the threat of retaliation by BNSF for which you must come up with a rainly day fund, and you'll accumulate 10 times that filing fee. Then, with all that, the likelyhood that the STB will actually take the time to hear your case is still quite remote. <br /> <br />Anyone still want to question why the multitude of victims are loath to take such legal actions against the Class I's? <br /> <br />There is a proposal to reduce the filing fee from the $65,000 to a more logical $150. The STB is vehemiently opposed to this, for they fear they will subsequently be flooded with cases to ajudicate, which of course they will. Take note of this one seemingly small item, for it alone is the one thing that will cause the Class I's and the STB to start sweating bullets. <br /> <br />BTW - no matter what your stand is on this issue, making references to the Anti-Christ and such only makes such posters look like complete imbeciles. You are an embarassment to the entire railfan community.
