ALM and UP have entered into a lease agreement wherein the Bastrop Lead connects with another line leased by ALM between Bastrop and Monroe, La., to UP’s McGehee Sub at Collinston. According to ALM, the lease will allow ALM and UP to shift their primary interchange location from Monroe to Collinston, which should allow for more efficient interchange and handling of traffic that is moved jointly by the carriers. As required by 49 CFR 1150.43(h), ALM has disclosed in the verified notice that the subject lease agreement contains an interchange commitment that indirectly affects interchange with Kansas City Southern Railway Company at Monroe. ALM has certified that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not result in ALM’s becoming a Class II or Class I rail carrier, but that its annual revenues exceed $5 million. Accordingly, as required by 49 CFR 1150.42(e), ALM has certified that: (1) On October 16 and 23, 2014, a copy of the verified notice was posted at the workplaces of the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 Dec 11, 2014 Jkt 235001 employees on the line, and (2) on October 24, 2014, a copy of the verified notice was served on the national offices of all labor unions with employees on the line. Additionally, under 49 CFR 1150.42(b), a change in operators requires that notice be given to shippers. ALM states that there are no shippers on the line.
