They have concurrently filed a notice of intent to terminate service authorized in that proceeding, stating that they did not conclude an agreement with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) in order to be able to commence operations. 2 See Staten Island Railway Corporation— Abandonment Exemption—in Richmond County, NY, Docket No. AB–263 (Sub-No. 2X) (ICC served July 3, 1990), and Staten Island Railway Corporation—Abandonment, Docket No. AB–263 (Sub-No. 3) (ICC served Dec. 5, 1991). The lines were subsequently acquired by NYCEDC and the Port Authority. 3 On January 21, 2004, the Board served a decision in Port Authority of New York and New Jersey—Petition for Declaratory Order, STB Finance Docket No. 34428, finding that the construction by the Port Authority and NYCEDC of the connector PO 00000 Frm 00117 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50499 between milepost 0.00 Arlington Yard Station and milepost 4.41 in Richmond County, a distance of 4.41 miles. Included within the North Shore Line segment are all tracks in Arlington Yard together with lead tracks on both the east and west ends of the yard, the socalled Wye Connector, that provides a direct connection to the Travis Branch from the North Shore Line and a track designated as the Travis Lead that provides a connection to and from the Travis Branch to the east end of Arlington Yard.4 The parties have concurrently filed a petition for exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 34909, CSX Transportation, Inc., Norfolk Southern Railway Company, and Consolidated Rail Corporation—Joint Use and Operation Exemption, wherein they are seeking approval to provide for the joint use of, and joint rail freight operations over, this line. No rail service has been provided over the line in more than 15 years. The provision of freight rail service in this proceeding is a component of the Staten Island Railroad Revitalization Project, a joint effort between the Port Authority and NYCEDC. The parties will provide rail freight operations over the line pursuant to an operating agreement as part of the project.5 That operating agreement, between the parties and NYCEDC, as administrator, provides for the parties to manage and maintain the line. The parties indicate that operations over the line are scheduled to commence on October 1, 2006 6 and continue for a 10-year term, which is renewable for an additional 10 years. According to the parties, they will not be obligated to commence operations and assume responsibility until the operating agreement has been signed and is fully in effect, which, among other actions, requires that: (1) Reconstruction of the line by NYCEDC is completed, Conrail has inspected the between the SIRR trackage and the Chemical Coast Secondary Line, and operations thereover, did not require Board approval. The parties will reach this segment via the connector. 4 On October 29, 2003, NYCEDC filed a petition for a declaratory order seeking certain determinations as to the Travis Branch. See The New York City Economic Development Corporation—Petition for Declaratory Order, STB Finance Docket No. 34429 (STB served July 15, 2004), in which the Board granted the request, finding that the proposed construction project did not require agency authorization and that federal preemption applied. 5 That agreement is attached as an exhibit to the notice. 6 The parties seek expedited action by the Board in STB Finance Docket No. 34909 to permit rail operations to commence by that date, and have included a proposed procedural schedule to accomplish that goal.
