provide railroad rides for tourists, alleges in its lawsuit file in Franklin County Superior Court that the state’s plan was put together in an arbitrary and capricious manner, that the state’s economic analysis supporting the plan was flawed and was carried
out by a firm that previously was used by advocated of the trail plan – and that land ownership issues along the rail route were not adequately addressed.
