U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1017. Temporary operating approval
(a) Use of tracks and facilities by other rail carriers; terms of
compensation; continuation of service
The Commission may authorize any rail carrier willing to do so
voluntarily to use the tracks and facilities of a carrier which, on
January 14, 1983, was the subject of a proceeding pending under
section 77 of the Bankruptcy Act or under subchapter IV of chapter
11 of title 11. The use of such tracks and facilities shall be
under such terms of compensation as the carriers establish between
themselves, or if the carriers are unable to agree, under such
terms of compensation as the Commission finds to be reasonable. The
Commission shall have authority to authorize continued rail service
under this section over the lines of any such carrier which has
been ordered by the court having jurisdiction over such a carrier
to liquidate its properties until the disposition of the properties
of the estate of such carrier.
(b) Use of employees
In carrying out the provisions of this section, the Commission
shall require, to the maximum extent practicable, the use of the
employees who would normally have performed work in connection with
the traffic subject to the action of the Commission.
