[Docket No. FD 35558]
Utah Southern Railroad Company,
LLC—Change in Operators
Exemption—Iron Bull Railroad
Company, LLC
Utah Southern Railroad Company,
LLC (USRC), a noncarrier, has filed a
verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.31 to change operators from
Iron Bull Railroad Company (IBRC) to
USRC on a rail line known as the
Comstock Subdivision (the line) that
extends between milepost 0.1 at or near
Iron Springs, Utah, and milepost 14.7 at
or near Iron Mountain, Utah, a distance
of 14.6 miles in Iron County, Utah. The
line is leased from Union Pacific
Railroad Company by PIC Railroad, LLC
(PIC) and is operated by USRC pursuant
to an operating agreement with PIC.
This change in operators is exempt
under 49 CFR 1150.31(a)(3).1
In 2006, IBRC filed a verified notice
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 for
operation of the line pursuant to an
operating agreement with PIC.2 In a
letter dated September 30, 2008, USRC
notified the Board that, effective
October 1, 2008, the name of IBRC was
being changed to USRC. USRC now
states, however, that, as of the date of
that letter, USRC ‘‘had been
incorporated, and acquired IBRC’s
operating authority, and operated [the
line] as a corporation separate and
distinct from IBRC.’’ Counsel for USRC
1 To qualify for a change of operators exemption,
an applicant must give notice to shippers on the
line. See 49 CFR 1150.32(b). On October 26, 2011,
USRC filed certification that notice had been given
to the sole shipper on the line, CML Metals
Corporation.

recently became aware that USRC has a
corporate existence separate from IBRC
and that IBRC’s corporate existence has
been dissolved, and USRC therefore
now files this notice to obtain the
required exemption to change operators
of the line.
USRC certifies that as a result of this
transaction its projected revenues will
not exceed those that would qualify it
as a Class III rail carrier and that such
revenues would not exceed $5 million
annually. As discussed above, the
proposed transaction has been
consummated.
If the verified 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 exemption
will be effective November 20, 2011 (30
days after the notice of exemption was
filed). The filing of a petition to revoke
will not automatically stay the
effectiveness of the exemption. Petitions
for stay must be filed no later than
November 10, 2011.
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35558, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
