[Docket No. FD 35339]


Carolina Coastal Railway, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Morehead & South Fork Railroad Co.

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.

ACTION: Correction to Notice of Acquisition and Operation Exemption.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a notice served and published in the 
Federal Register on January 15, 2010 (75 FR 2580), titled ``Carolina 
Coastal Railway, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--North 
Carolina State Ports Authority'' to reflect a correction submitted by 
Carolina Coastal Railway, Inc. (CLNA). CLNA filed a verified notice of 
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire, by assignment, the lease of 
Morehead & South Fork Railroad Co., Inc. (MHSF) with North Carolina 
State Ports Authority (SPA) and to operate approximately 0.87 miles of 
SPA's rail line. After the effective date of the exemption, CLNA filed 
a letter on February 16, 2010, notifying the Board that MHSF's counsel 
has advised CLNA that MHSF is not a party to any lease agreement with 
SPA and therefore was not assigning a lease to CLNA. Instead, MHSF 
assigned a freight easement and operating agreement to CNLA.\1\ This 
notice correctly identifies MHSF, instead of SPA, as the regulated 
party to the transaction, corrects the title, and clarifies what was 
conveyed. Accordingly, the correct title should read, ``Carolina 
Coastal Railway, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Morehead & 
South Fork Railroad Co.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In a previous decision, MHSF acquired the freight easement 
over all railroad tracks at the Port of Morehead City, N.C., from 
Carolina Rail Service, LLC. These tracks are owned by SPA. Morehead 
& South Fork R.R.--Acquis. and Operation Exemption--Carolina Rail 
Service, LLC, FD 34748 (STB served Sept. 23, 2005).
