§ 23-d. Taking necessary steps for continuing the operation of

essential railroads. If cessation of operation of a railroad, whose

continued operation is essential in order that it will be available as

an operating transportation facility for materials and otherwise, in the

interest of the public safety and security and the health of the people

in the event of attack, has occurred or is impending, such railroad

being in receivership by order of a court having jurisdiction of an

action or proceeding in which receivers have been appointed for such

railroad, the state civil defense commission may take all necessary

steps for the continued operation of such railroad, and for such purpose

the commission shall employ the moneys appropriated to it by this act.
