[STB Finance Docket No. 34744]
R.J. Corman Railroad Company/
Pennsylvania Lines Inc.—Lease and
Operation Within a Corporate Family
Transaction Exemption—R.J. Corman
Railroad Property, LLC
R.J. Corman Railroad Company/
Pennsylvania Lines Inc. (RJCP), a Class
III rail carrier, has filed a notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3).
The exemption involves what RJCP
describes as a corporate family
transaction whereby R.J. Corman
Railroad Property, LLC (Railroad
Property) will lease to RJCP and RJCP
will operate a line of railroad, known as
the Loup Creek Branch, extending from
milepost 0.0 at Thurmond, WV, to
milepost 12.0 at Mt. Hope, WV, a
distance of approximately 12 miles.1
The transaction was scheduled to be
consummated on or shortly after
September 1, 2005, the effective date of
the exemption.
This transaction is within a corporate
family of the type specifically exempted
from prior approval under 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(3). RJCP states that the
transaction will not result in adverse
changes in service levels, significant
operational changes, or a change in the
competitive balance with carriers
outside of the corporate family.
According to RJCP, the purpose of the
transaction is to substitute one Corman
affiliate for another as the leasee and
operator of the line, which will address
certain tax and financing considerations
within the Corman family of companies,
and will not result in any changes in rail
service or operations.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its obligation to
protect the interests of its employees.
Section 11326(c), however, does not
provide for labor protection for
transactions under sections 11324 and
11325 that involve only Class III rail
carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not
1 Prior to this transaction, the Loup Creek Branch
was leased and operated by R.J. Corman Railroad
Company/Bardstown Lines (RJCR). RJCP, Railroad
Property and RJCR are commonly controlled by
Richard J. Corman (Corman).

impose labor protective conditions here
because all of the carriers involved are
Class III carriers.
If the 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 transaction.
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 34744, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 1925
K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423–
0001. In addition, one copy of each
pleading must be served on Ronald A.

for deposit 1 U.S. Treasury checks are
generally liable to Treasury for the
amount of a check cashed over a forged
or unauthorized indorsement. 31 CFR
part 240. In order to ensure that
Treasury checks have been properly
indorsed by the payee, depository
institutions and retailers typically
request certain standard forms of
identification from non-customers
seeking to cash Treasury checks.
However, in the extraordinary
circumstances resulting from Hurricane
Katrina, many individuals displaced
from their homes and communities do
not have standard forms of
identification. Depository institutions
and retailers have experienced difficulty
in confirming the identity of Hurricane
Katrina evacuees who are seeking to
cash Treasury assistance and benefit
checks.
Treasury recognizes that it is critical
that Hurricane Katrina evacuees be able
to cash their Treasury assistance and
benefit checks expeditiously and wishes
to encourage depository institutions to
1 In this context, subsequently accepting a check
for deposit pertains to the sequence of events by
which a check is accepted for deposit by any
number of depository institutions (after it is cashed
by an individual) in order to present it to Treasury
for payment. It does not refer to the depositing of
a check by an individual.
