Neuberger Seeks RR Abandonment Washington Sen, Richard L Neuberger (D.-Ore.) announced yesterday that he is asking the Interstate Commerce Commis sion to expedite hearings on a request by the city of- Grants Pass for abandonment of the California and Oregon Coast railroad line. Grants . Pass requested the abandonment of the bankrupt railroad in order to avoid the cost . of . rehabilitation and to make sections of the right of way available for needed state highway improvements. , Neuberger said he also asked the corps of Army engineers to condemn a partly ruined rail road bridge across Rogue river above Grants. Pass as a. hazard to navigation and to other bridges downstream. The move would provide additional reason for granting the city permission to abandon the C and OC, he said. In a telegram to the Mail Tribune Neuberger declared, "I would" be amazed if an agency of the" federal government de clined to act on the request of Grants Pass for abandonment of a bankrupt railroad, or would ask a city of 8,500 persons which has suffered great eco nomic loss by . recent floods to underwrite a profitless rail facility."
