Eastern Berks Gateway Railroad
Company—Modified Rail Certificate—
in Berks County, PA
On September 13, 2010, Eastern Berks
Gateway Railroad Company (EBGR), a
noncarrier, filed a notice for a modified
certificate of convenience and necessity
under 49 CFR pt. 1150 subpart C—
Modified Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity to lease and
operate an approximately 8.6-mile line
of railroad between milepost 0.0 at
Pottstown and milepost 8.6 at
Boyertown in Berks County, Pa.
(Colebrookdale Line).
The Colebrookdale Line was
authorized for abandonment by the
Board in East Penn Railroad—
Abandonment Exemption—In Berks and
Montgomery Counties, Pa., Docket No.
AB 1020X (STB served Nov. 18, 2008).
Although authorized for abandonment,
the line was subsequently acquired by
Berks County, Pa. (the County),
pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.22.1
1 The County originally filed an offer of financial
assistance (OFA) to acquire the Colebrookdale Line.
The Board subsequently set the terms and
conditions for the acquisition via OFA. See E. Penn

Pursuant to a Lease and Operating
Agreement, EBGR, as lessee, and the
County, as owner, have agreed that
EBGR will commence freight rail
operation on or about September 15,
2010, for a term of 5 years, which may
be extended up to 1 additional 5-year
term. Under the Lease and Operating
Agreement, the County is responsible
for restoring the Colebrookdale Line to
Federal Railroad Administration Class 2
condition prior to EBGR’s
commencement of operations, and will
retain responsibility for the cost of
certain bridge and grade crossing
rehabilitation. As operator of the
Colebrookdale Line, EBGR will provide
rail freight service to the only interline
connection, Norfolk Southern Railway
Company, at milepost 0.0, at Pottstown.
EBGR intends to provide rail service
twice weekly or on an as-needed basis.
This transaction is related to the
verified notice of exemption filed in US
Rail Partners, Ltd. and Blackwell
Northern Gateway Railroad—
Continuance in Control Exemption—
Eastern Berks Gateway Railroad, Docket
No. FD 35384 (STB served July 15,
2010), wherein US Rail Partners, Ltd.
(USRP), and Blackwell Northern
Gateway Railroad Company (BNGR)
seeks to continue in control of EBGR,
upon EBGR becoming a Class III rail
carrier.
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, Docket No. FD
28990F (ICC served July 16, 1981).
EBGR states that no subsidy is
involved and that there are no
preconditions for shippers to meet in
order to receive rail service. EBGR also
states that the Lease and Operating
Agreement requires it to obtain liability
insurance coverage.
This notice will be served on the
Association of American Railroads (Car
Service Division) as agent for all
railroads subscribing to the car-service
and car-hire agreement at 425 Third
