I was doing some personal research on the Kiamichi Railroad and ran across this: the Chaparral embargoed its line on August 10, 1994, and the Kiamichi began service over the four miles south of Paris. <br /> <br />According to the dictionary an embargo (reference to transporation) is: a common carrier or public regulatory agency order prohibiting or restricting freight traffic. However the article said the Chaparral embargoed it own line, not a government agency. <br /> <br />What is the difference between embargoing and abandonment? [?] If you embargo your own line can you "bring it back into service"? <br /> <br />I bet once we get this topic going there will be more questions about this. We will see. [;)] <br /> <br /> <br />
