Huntingdon County Judge Ray A. Ghaner declined a motion by the Juniata & Aughwick Railroad to reconsider his ruling. The judge affirmed the EBT Foundation’s right to purchase a disputed 4.7-mile segment of the East Broad Top Railroad. This action blocks Stephen D. Lane from acquiring clear title to the land for his J&A, a proposed short line connecting with Norfolk Southern’s Pittsburgh Line.
