Aiken Railway Company, LLC—Lease
and Operation Exemption—Lines of
Norfolk Southern Railway Company in
Aiken County, SC
On October 31, 2012, Aiken Railway
Company, LLC (AIKR), a noncarrier,
filed a verified notice of exemption
under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from
Norfolk Southern Railway Company
(NSR), and to operate, two segments of
rail line referred to as the SA Line and
the AB Line. The SA Line extends 12.45
miles between milepost SA 63.45 at or
near Warrenville, SC, and milepost SA
51.0 at or near Oakwood, SC. The AB
Line extends 6.45 miles between
milepost AB 23.75 at or near Aiken, SC,
and milepost AB 17.3 at or near Seclay,
SC. This transaction is related to a
notice of exemption filed on November
5, 2012, in which Western Carolina
Railway Service Corporation (WCRS),
and Steven C. Hawkins and Cheryl R.
Hawkins (collectively, the Hawkins)
seek Board approval to continue in
control of AIKR upon AIKR’s becoming
a Class III rail carrier. W. Carolina Ry.
Serv. Corp.—Continuance in Control
Exemption—Aiken Ry., Docket No. FD
35691.
As a result of this transaction, and
pursuant to a lease agreement between
AIKR and NSR, AIKR will provide
freight rail service over the lines. As
consideration for the lease, AIKR has
agreed to bring the lines (except for a
sub-segment between mileposts SA 51.0
and SA 55.0) up to the Federal Railroad
Administration’s Class 1 standards.
AIKR states that the lines connect only
with NSR and that it will interchange
with NSR in Aiken, SC. AIKR states that
the transaction does not, however,
impose any interchange commitments.
The effective date of this exemption is
November 30, 2012. AIKR states that it
expects to commence operations on
December 1, 2012, more than 30 days
after the notice of exemption was filed.
The effective date of the related
continuance in control exemption in
Docket No. FD 35691, however, is
December 5, 2012. WCRS and the
Hawkins are reminded that they are not
authorized to control AIKR until the
continuance in control exemption
becomes effective on December 5, 2012.
AIKR certifies that its projected
annual revenues as a result of this
transaction will not exceed those that
would qualify it as a Class III rail
carrier. AIKR further certifies that its
projected annual revenues as a result of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:43 Nov 15, 2012
Jkt 229001
this transaction will not exceed $5
million.
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 to stay must be
filed by November 23, 2012 (at least
seven days prior to the date the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and ten copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35665 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 J. Marshall Lawson, 4840
Forest Drive, Suite 6B, PMB–295,
Columbia, SC 29206–4810.
