How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “A careful reading of the [ICCTA] reveals that its preemptive effect is confined to the regulation of rail transportation....’” (citations omitted)
• The Termination Act “completely preempts state laws (and remedies based on such laws) that directly attempt to manage or govern a railroad’s decisions in the economic realm.”
• “Despite this express preemption in the statute, however, the question remains whether Congress intended for the ICCTA to exert complete preemption in the context presented in the instant case.” (citing Elam v. Kan. City S. Ry. Co., 635 F.3d 796, 803 (5th Cir. 2011))
