[Docket No. FD 35649]
DMH Trust fbo Martha M. Head—
Acquisition of Control Exemption—
Red River Valley & Western Railroad
and Rutland Line, Inc.
DMH Trust fbo Martha M. Head (the
Trust), a noncarrier, has filed a verified
notice of exemption to acquire control
of Red River Valley & Western Railroad
(RRVW) and Rutland Line, Inc. (RLI),1
both Class III rail carriers.
According to the Trust, Douglas M.
Head owned all of the controlling shares
of voting stock of RRVW and indirectly
controlled RLI. Upon his death in
February 2011, RRVW’s stock continued
to be held by Mr. Head’s estate until it
1 RLI

was distributed to the Trust on January
3, 2012. The Trust did not file its
verified notice of exemption with the
Board until July 23, 2012. Thus, the
effective date of the exemption is
August 22, 2012 (30 days after the
verified notice of exemption was filed).2
The Trust represents that: (1) RRVW
and RLI will not connect with any rail
lines owned or controlled by the Trust;
(2) the transaction is not part of a series
of anticipated transactions that would
connect any railroad owned or
controlled by the Trust with RRVW or
RLI, or that would provide an additional
connection between RRVW or RLI; and
(3) the transaction does not involve a
Class I rail carrier. The proposed
transaction is therefore exempt from the
prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.
11323 pursuant to 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
The Trust states that the purpose of the
transaction was to distribute the RRVW
shares from the estate of Mr. Head to the
Trust in compliance with the order of
the Hennepin County District Court,
allowing the completion of the probate
of the estate.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of its
employees. Section 11326(c), however,
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under 11324 and 11325
that involve only Class III rail carriers.
Accordingly, the Board may not impose
labor protective conditions here,
because all of the carriers involved are
Class III carriers.
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 filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than August 15, 2012
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and ten copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35649, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on Rose-Michele Nardi,
Weiner Brodsky Sidman Kider PC, 1300
19th Street NW., Fifth Floor,
Washington, DC 20036.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our Web site at
www.stb.dot.gov.
Decided: August 2, 2012.
2 The class exemption invoked by the Trust does
not provide for retroactive effectiveness.
