Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The side tracks at issue in this case are an essential part of [the railroad's] railroad operations and assist in providing rail service to the AEP Kentucky Coal's loading facility adjacent to Plaintiffs' property. But for the side track, a train being used to transport coal would have to stay on the mainline track, which would interfere with the movement of commerce. The side tracks allow the mainline track to be open for other rail travel, which enhances the movement of commerce on the rail lines. Because of their essential role, side tracks are a vital part of [the] railroad['s] operations. Because it is [the railroad's] construction and operation of the side tracks in this case which give rise to Plaintiffs' claims, those claims are expressly preempted by the ICCTA.”
