NSR has certified that: (1) No local
traffic has moved over the line for at
least 2 years; (2) no overhead traffic has
moved over the line for at least 2 years
and overhead traffic, if there were any,
could be rerouted over other lines; (3)
no formal complaint filed by a user of
rail service on the line (or by a state or
local government entity acting on behalf
of such user) regarding cessation of
service over the line either is pending
with the Surface Transportation Board
or with any U.S. District Court or has
been decided in favor of complainant
within the 2-year period; and (4) the
requirements at 49 CFR 1105.7
(environmental reports), 49 CFR 1105.8

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12
(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR
1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental
agencies) have been met.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
abandonment shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line R. Co.—
Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91
(1979). To address whether this
condition adequately protects affected
employees, a petition for partial
revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
must be filed.
Provided no formal expression of
intent to file an offer of financial
assistance (OFA) has been received, this
exemption will be effective on March 4,
2006, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do
not involve environmental issues,1
formal expressions of intent to file an
OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),2 and
trail use/rail banking requests under 49
CFR 1152.29 must be filed by February
13, 2006. Petitions to reopen or requests
for public use conditions under 49 CFR
1152.28 must be filed by February 22,
2006, with: Surface Transportation

A copy of any petition filed with the
Board should be sent to NSR’s
representative: James R. Paschall, Senior
General Attorney, Norfolk Southern
Corporation, Three Commercial Place,
Norfolk, VA 23510.
1 The Board will grant a stay if an informed
decision on environmental issues (whether raised
by a party or by the Board’s Section of
Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent
investigation) cannot be made before the
exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C. 2d 377 (1989). Any
request for a stay should be filed as soon as possible
so that the Board may take appropriate action before
the exemption’s effective date.
2 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which currently is set at $1,200. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).

If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio.
NSR has filed environmental and
historic reports which address the
effects, if any, of the abandonment on
the environment and historic resources.
SEA will issue an environmental
assessment (EA) by February 7, 2006.
Interested persons may obtain a copy of
the EA by writing to SEA (Room 500,
Surface Transportation Board,
Washington, DC 20423–0001) or by
calling SEA, at (202) 565–1539.
[Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–
800–877–8339.] Comments on
environmental and historic preservation
matters must be filed within 15 days
after the EA becomes available to the
public.
Environmental, historic preservation,
public use, or trail use/rail banking
conditions will be imposed, where
appropriate, in a subsequent decision.
Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR
1152.29(e)(2), NSR shall file a notice of
consummation with the Board to signify
that it has exercised the authority
granted and fully abandoned the line. If
consummation has not been effected by
NSR’s filing of a notice of
consummation by February 2, 2007, and
there are no legal or regulatory barriers
to consummation, the authority to
abandon will automatically expire.
