Lake Railway formerly operated the line from Lakeview OR to a UP interchange at Perez near Klamath Falls. Last summer Lake County (OR), which owns the tracks, cancelled the lease with Lake Railway and contracted with a new operator named Goose Lake Railway.

Years ago this was an SP branch, and a remnant of the earlier N-C-O.

LAKEVIEW — Lake Railway has made new accusations of wrongdoing against Lake County in an ongoing federal lawsuit, claiming termination of the company’s railway lease was done in collusion with shipping clients.

In an amended complaint filed Monday in Ninth U.S. District Court, Lake Railway said the county’s decision to terminate the company’s lease in April of 2017 was motivated by a “desire to control the rates charged by (Lake Railway) to its shipping customers.”

The plaintiff then noted current rail carrier Goose Lake Railway, which took over the lease in November, is led by Bruce Addington, president of both Goose Lake Railway and rail client Cornerstone Industrial Minerals. Lake Railway accused Cornerstone and fellow client Collins Company of working with the county to oust the plaintiff and bring down shipping rates.
