General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

New Jersey v. New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad Co. No. 104 Argued December 11, 1962 Decided February 18, 1963 372 U.S. 1
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
Syllabus
Appellee railroad operates trains solely within the State of New Jersey, but it estimates that nearly 90% of its passengers travel to and from New York City via connecting buses owned and operated by a corporation unaffiliated but under contract with appellee. After discontinuing most of its passenger trains with the permission of the Public Utilities Commission of New Jersey, appellee filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission notice of its intention to discontinue all passenger service. On motion of appellants, the Interstate Commerce Commission dismissed the notice for want of jurisdiction.
Held: The proceeding involved only trains "operated wholly within the boundaries of a single State," within the meaning of § 13a(2) of the Interstate Commerce Act, and it was properly dismissed for want of initial jurisdiction in the Interstate Commerce Commission. Pp. 2-9.
200 F.Supp. 860 reversed.
