The Justice Department dropped its suit against Norfolk Southern over allegations that the freight railroad had slowed down passenger trains on Amtrak route.
The Justice Department and Norfolk Southern jointly filed paperwork Tuesday with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking to dismiss the case.
The Justice Department sued Norfolk Southern last year, arguing that the company had interfered with Amtrak’s Crescent passenger service between New York and New Orleans.
