U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2346
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Railroads. In an action seeking to enjoin the railroad from
imposing a requirement that any toxic inhalation hazard materials to be
transported on Canadian Pacific railways be transported in normalized
steel rail cars, the district court correctly determined that under the
doctrine of primary jurisdiction the Surface Transportation Board should
address whether the requirement is reasonable, and the court did not err
in denying the request for injunctive relief and dismissing the suit
without prejudice.
