§10902. Authorizing action to provide adequate, efficient, and safe facilities

The Interstate Commerce Commission may authorize a rail carrier providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter I of chapter 105 of this title to take action necessary to provide adequate, efficient, and safe facilities to enable the rail carrier to perform its obligations under this subtitle, including extension of any of the carrier's railroad lines after issuance of a certificate under section 10901 of this title. The Commission may authorize a rail carrier to act under this section only if it finds that the expense involved will not impair the ability of the carrier to perform its obligations to the public. The Commission may conduct a proceeding on its own initiative or on application of an interested party.
