Exemption—in Allegheny County, PA
On February 5, 2008, Union Railroad
Company (URR) and Norfolk Southern
Railway Company (NSR) (collectively,
petitioners) jointly filed with the
Surface Transportation Board (Board) a
petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for
exemption from the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 10903 for URR to discontinue
service and abandon and for NSR to
discontinue trackage rights over a 1.34mile line of railroad between South
Duquesne, PA, and McKeesport, PA, in
Allegheny County, PA. The line extends
from McKeesport Branch Station 0+00
(Duquesne Branch Station 97+26) at the
point of switch for turnout D–60, to
McKeesport Branch Station 70+78 at the
point of switch for turnout UM–1, and
includes the Riverton Railroad Bridge
(Riverton Bridge) that crosses the
Monongahela River at Monongahela
milepost 14.3. The line traverses U.S.
Postal Service Zip Codes 15110 and
15132, and includes no stations.
Petitioners state that, based on
information in their possession, the line
does not contain federally granted
rights-of-way. Any documentation in
petitioners’ possession will be made
available promptly to those requesting
it.
The interest of railroad employees
will be protected by the conditions set
forth in Oregon Short Line R. Co.—
Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91
(1979).
By issuance of this notice, the Board
is instituting an exemption proceeding
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final
decision will be issued by May 23,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:34 Feb 22, 2008
Jkt 214001
2008 1 (sooner if petitioners’ request for
expedited handling can be
accommodated).
Any offer of financial assistance
(OFA) under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) will
be due no later than 10 days after
service of a decision granting the
petition for exemption. Each OFA must
be accompanied by a $1,300 filing fee.
See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).
All interested persons should be
aware that, following abandonment of
rail service and salvage of the line, the
line may be suitable for other public
use, including interim trail use.2 Any
request for a public use condition under
49 CFR 1152.28 or for trail use/rail
banking under 49 CFR 1152.29 will be
due no later than March 17, 2008. Each
trail use request must be accompanied
by a $200 filing fee. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(27).
All filings in response to this notice
must refer to STB Docket Nos. AB–183
(Sub-No. 4X) and AB–290 (Sub-No.
301X), and must be sent to: (1) Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001; (2) for
URR—John A. Vuono, Vuono & Gray,

Pittsburgh, PA 15219; and (3) for NSR—
Greg E. Summy, General Solicitor,
Norfolk Southern Corp., Three
Commercial Place, Norfolk, VA 23510–
2191. Replies to petitioners’ petition are
due on or before March 17, 2008.
Persons seeking further information
concerning abandonment procedures
may contact the Board’s Office of
Governmental and Public Affairs at
1 Petitioners seek expedited consideration of the
petition, stating that the line proposed to be
abandoned, including the Riverton Bridge, is
intended to be used as a trail and would be the final
link of a trail system that would connect
Washington, DC and the City of Pittsburgh.
According to petitioners, the official opening of the
system is scheduled for on or about October 1,
2008. Petitioners state that, prior to the trail
opening, construction would be required to prepare
the line for use as a trail. Petitioners have confirmed
that they are aware that removal of rail or railroadrelated materials may not occur until completion of
the exemption process, including compliance with
any environmental or historic conditions that may
be imposed.
2 As noted, petitioners intend that the line be
developed for trail use. Petitioners state that URR,
and its parent company United States Steel
Corporation, have engaged in negotiations with
Allegheny County and plan for URR to transfer title
to the line to Allegheny County.
