Arkansas Louisiana & Mississippi
Railroad Company—Lease and
Operation Exemption Including
Interchange Commitment—Union
Pacific Railroad Company
Arkansas Louisiana & Mississippi
Railroad Company (ALM), a Class III rail
carrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to
lease from Union Pacific Railroad
Company (UP) and operate
approximately 9.32 miles of rail line,
known as the Bastrop Lead, between
mileposts 551.25 and 560.57, in
Collinston, La.
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.
The earliest this transaction may be
consummated is December 26, 2014, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the exemption was filed). ALM
states that it intends to consummate the
transaction on or shortly after that date.
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 December 19, 2014
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35862, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on Eric M. Hocky, Clark
