Surface Transportation Board
[STB Docket No. AB–32 (Sub-No. 100)]
On June 19, 2009, Pan Am Railways 1
and its subsidiaries, Boston and Maine
Corporation, Inc. (B&M), and
Springfield Terminal Railway Company
(ST) (collectively, Pan Am), filed an
application under 49 U.S.C. 10903
asking the Board to authorize the thirdparty, or ‘‘adverse,’’ discontinuance of
operating authority of New England
Southern Railroad Co., Inc. (NES), over
approximately 27 miles of B&M’s New
Hampshire Main Line (Line), extending
from milepost B80.68 at Penacook to
milepost B56 at Manchester, NH, and
including (1) the portion of the former
Claremont and Concord Railroad line
from the switch to the New Hampshire
Main Line valuation station 41+98; and
(2) one track for interchange purposes in
the B&M yard at Manchester.
The line traverses United States Postal
Service ZIP Codes 03101, 03106, 03301,
03303, and 03304.
Pan Am states that NES has been
operating the Line under a lease which
was entered into on January 14, 1985,
and which provides that either party
may terminate it on 90 days’ written
notice to the other party once the initial
10-year term expires. Pan Am states
that, on or about April 27, 2007, it gave
NES written notice of termination,
effective on or about August 1, 2007,
and indicated that it would assume
operating the Line under its own
operating plan. According to Pan Am,
NES, in a letter dated July 21, 2007,
responded that it would not file for
discontinuance. Pan Am states that the
adverse discontinuance is necessary to
remove NES’s interest in the Line from
Board jurisdiction and enable Pan Am
to pursue contract remedies under state
law.
In a decision served in this
proceeding on February 12, 2008, the
Board granted a petition filed by Pan
Am for exemptions from several
statutory provisions and for waivers of
certain Board regulations governing rail
line discontinuances. The Board
required Pan Am to serve a copy of the
decision on all of the Line’s shippers
and connecting carriers, the U.S.
Railroad Retirement Board, and the

Pan Am states that the Line does not

Any documentation in Pan Am’s
possession will be made available
promptly to those requesting it. Pan
Am’s entire case in chief for adverse
discontinuance was filed with the
application.
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).
Any interested person may file
written comments concerning the
proposed adverse discontinuance or
protests (including protestant’s entire
opposition case) by August 30, 2009.
Replies and rebuttal to written
comments and protests shall be filed
and served by applicants by September
14, 2009. Because Pan Am intends to
conduct operations on the Line, all
interested persons should be aware that
this application is for adverse
discontinuance and will not result in
the abandonment of existing operations.
Therefore, the public use provisions of
49 U.S.C. 10905 (49 CFR 1152.28) and
the trail use provisions 16 U.S.C.
1247(d) (49 CFR 1152.29) will not
apply.
Persons opposing the proposed
adverse discontinuance who wish to
participate actively and fully in the
process should file a protest. Persons
who may oppose the adverse
discontinuance but who do not wish to
participate fully in the process by
submitting verified statements of
witnesses containing detailed evidence
should file comments. Parties seeking
information concerning the filing of
protests should refer to 49 CFR 1152.25.
All filings in response to this notice
must refer to STB Docket No. AB–32
(Sub-No. 100) and must be sent to: (1)
Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

Railways, 1700 Iron Horse Park, North
Billerica, MA 01877. Filings may be
submitted either via the Board’s e-filing

2 According to Pan Am’s certificate of service, a
copy of the waiver request was served on the
Governor of New Hampshire, the New Hampshire
Public Utility Commission, and the Bureau of Rail
and Transit of New Hampshire.
