Inflating maintenance cost prior to an abandonment application was SOP for about all railroads, because that was the way the old ICC worked. You had to be able to show dramatic looses before the ICC would decide a money loosing line was a sufficient burden on the rest of the railroad to justify abandonment. Just loosing money was not enough.
