Regional Rail Reorganization Act Cases, 419 U.S. 102 (1974).

  • 8 major railroads challenged a conveyance of property to ConRail.
  • The lower courts said that the matter was not ripe, as the statutory reorganization plans were not created and the conveyances were not ordered.
  • SCOTUS says that it is ripe, as—if it is inevitable that a conveyance will be enforced, then it will be considered ripe.
