[Docket No. FD 35413]
Lancaster & Chester Railroad, LLC--Acquisition and Operation
Exemption--Line of Lancaster & Chester Railway Company
Lancaster & Chester Railroad, LLC (L&C Railroad), a noncarrier, has
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire
and operate approximately 62 miles of rail line owned by Class III rail
carrier Lancaster & Chester Railway Company as follows: (1)
Approximately 29 miles of rail line from Chester, S.C. (milepost 0.0)
to Lancaster, S.C. (milepost 29.0), plus approximately 2 miles of
connecting track from milepost 5.0 in Chester County, S.C., to the
connection with Consolidated Rail Corporation at former Survey Station
0+06 (milepost SG-346+2210) of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Company
in Chester County; and (2) approximately 31 miles of rail line from
Kershaw, S.C. (milepost SB-58.7) to Catawba, S.C. (milepost SB-89.5)
including, for each of the lines, related rail property and trackage.
Because L&C Railroad's projected annual revenues will exceed $5
million, L&C Railroad certified to the Board on August 30, 2010, that
it had complied with the requirements of 49 CFR 1150.32(e) providing
for notice to employees and their labor unions on the affected line.
L&C Railroad also certified that its projected revenues as a result of
this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class
III carrier.
This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice
of exemption in Docket No. FD 35414, Gulf & Ohio Railways Holding Co.,
Inc., H. Peter Claussen and Linda C. Claussen--Continuance in Control
Exemption--Lancaster & Chester Railroad, LLC, wherein the above parties
seek to continue in control of L&C Railroad, upon L&C Railroad's
becoming a Class III rail carrier.
The transaction may be consummated on or after October 31, 2010
(the effective date of the exemption).
If the verified notice contains false or misleading information,
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a
petition to revoke will not automatically stay the effectiveness of the
exemption. Petitions for stay must be filed no later than October 22,
2010 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 35413, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each
pleading must be served on Troy W. Garris, 2904 Corporate Cir., Flower
Mound, TX. 75028.
