With an inflammatory title like that, not hard to see where this thread will go....
I am sorry you think my heading was inflammatory, just stating facts. Please suggest something less inflammatory or neutral and I will change the heading.

Having ridden the D&SNGR as a kid, I sure hope that it survives this suit. That said, your title is not "just stating facts," but shows a strong bias against the lawsuit. A neutral title, stating just the facts might be:

"U.S. Attorney's Colorado Office files suit against the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad seeking to recoup $25M in 416 Fire costs."

It's worth remembering that even headlines that "state just the facts" can convey bias.
