On August 30, 2006, Black Hills
Transportation, Inc., d/b/a Deadwood,
Black Hills & Western Railroad
(DBHWR), filed a notice for a modified
certificate of public convenience and
necessity under 49 CFR 1150, Subpart
C, Modified Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity, to operate
approximately 9.01 miles of rail line
extending from milepost 0.0, at
Whitewood, to milepost 9.01, at
Deadwood, in Lawrence County, SD.
The line was formerly a portion of the
Chicago & North Western Railway
Company and was authorized for
abandonment by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in Chicago &
North Western Railway Co.—
Abandonment—Lawrence County, SD,
Finance Docket No. 26079 (ICC served
May 20, 1970). Although authorized for
abandonment, the line was
subsequently acquired by the State of
South Dakota and ownership was
E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM
29SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 189 / Friday, September 29, 2006 / Notices
ultimately passed to the Northern Hills
Regional Railroad Authority (NHRRA).
As operator of the line, DBHWR will
provide both passenger and freight
services pursuant to an operating
agreement with NHRRA. Under the
agreement, DBHWR expects to
interchange with Dakota, Minnesota &
Eastern Railroad at milepost 0.0, at
Whitewood. DBHWR states that the
period for operation is currently
indefinite and that the agreement with
NHRRA will be amended or supplanted
prior to actual commencement of
operations.
The rail segment qualifies for a
modified certificate of public
convenience and necessity. See
Common Carrier Status of States, State
Agencies and Instrumentalities and
Political Subdivisions, Finance Docket
No. 28990F (ICC served July 16, 1981).
DBHWR states that the line will
require reconstruction for operational
purposes and the imposition of certain
preconditions to ensure that
construction and operation costs are
recoverable. DBHWR indicates that
commencement of rehabilitation or
operations will be contingent upon
shippers meeting the following
preconditions: (a) Entry into binding
written commitments to provide
funding for restoration purposes equal
to a sum no less than $13,000,000; 1 and
(b) entry into binding written
commitments sufficient to assure car
loadings (or payments in lieu thereof) in
an amount no less than 1,000 carloads
per year (an amount judged adequate to
cover all costs associated with
maintenance, operation and
capitalization of the line).
DBHWR indicates that no subsidy is
involved. DBHWR also indicates that it
sum may be increased in the event a third
party engineering study identifies needs requiring
a greater amount of rehabilitation necessary to
improve the facilities in order to achieve 25 mph
operation in accordance with applicable standards.
