Surface Transportation Board
Winamac Southern Railway
Company—Trackage Rights
Exemption—A. & R. Line, Inc.
Pursuant to a written trackage rights
agreement,1 A. & R. Line, Inc. (A&R) has
agreed to grant overhead trackage rights
to Winamac Southern Railway Company
(WSRY) between milepost 71.5 at or
near Van and milepost 74.5 at or near
Logansport, a distance of approximately
3.0 miles in Cass County, IN.2
The earliest this transaction may be
consummated is January 10, 2009, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the exemption was filed).
The purpose of the trackage rights is
to achieve operating economies and to
improve rail service by making
operations by WSRY more efficient.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employees affected by the trackage
rights will be protected by the
conditions imposed in Norfolk and
Western Ry. Co.—Trackage Rights—BN,
354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in
Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—Lease and
Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).
This notice is filed under 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(7). If the notice contains false
or misleading information, the
exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to
revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C.
10502(d) may be filed at any time. The
filing of a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Stay petitions must be
filed by January 2, 2009 (at least 7 days
before the exemption becomes
effective).
1 A redacted version of the trackage rights
agreement was filed with the notice of exemption.
2 The involved line was acquired by A&R from
WSRY in A. & R. Line, Inc.—Acquisition
Exemption—Winamac Southern Railway Company,
Finance Docket No. 32694 (ICC served July 6, 1995).
However, WSRY continued to operate the line, as
well as its connecting lines. Although WSRY and
A&R entered into a trackage rights agreement for
WSRY to conduct operations over the line, through
oversight no Interstate Commerce Commission or
Surface Transportation Board approval of the
trackage rights was ever sought. According to
WSRY, WSRY’s operations under the trackage
rights agreement have continued for 13 years and,
in the interim, Central Railroad Company of
Indianapolis took over the operations of WSRY, as
WSRY’s agent, and A&R was taken over by Toledo,
Peoria & Western Railway Corporation. WSRY
states that this filing was made to remedy the prior
oversight.
In a revised notice of exemption filed on
December 17, 2008 in STB Finance Docket No.
35205, US Rail Corporation—Lease and Operation
Exemption—Winamac Southern Railway Company
and Kokomo Grain Co., Inc., US Rail Corporation
seeks to acquire the trackage rights involved in this
transaction.
