place prior to June 30, 2007. NSR has been

Norfolk Southern Railway Company--Abandonment Exemption-in Bergen
County, NJ
Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) has filed a notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1152 Subpart F--Exempt Abandonments to abandon a
1.40-mile line of railroad between milepost UQ 8.80 and milepost UQ
10.20, in Rutherford, Bergen County, NJ.\1\ The line traverses United
States Postal Service Zip Code 07070, and includes the former stations
of Rutherford Jct. and Carlton Hill.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Pursuant to 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(2), the railroad must file a
verified notice with the Surface Transportation Board (Board) at
least 50 days before the abandonment or discontinuance is to be
consummated. NSR initially indicated in its notice of exemption a
proposed consummation date of June 29, 2007, but because the
verified notice was filed on May 11, 2007, consummation may not take
place prior to June 30, 2007. NSR has been informed by a Board staff
member that consummation may not take place until June 30, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NSR has certified that: (1) No traffic has moved over the line for
at least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic on the line can 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 Board or with any U.S. District Court or has

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 June 30, 2007, unless stayed pending reconsideration.

expressions of intent to file an OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),\3\ and

conditions under 49 CFR 1152.28 must be filed by June 20, 2007, with
the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC

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 Out-of-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.
\3\ Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing fee, which is
currently set at $1,300. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).

A copy of any petition filed with the Board should be sent to NSR's
representative: James R. Paschall, Norfolk Southern Corporation, Three
Commercial Place, Norfolk, VA 23510.
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 June 5,
2007. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the EA by writing to SEA
