by S&S Shortline Leasing, LLC (S&S).
Great Basin states that it anticipates
reaching an agreement with the City and
the Foundation in the near future for
rights to operate over the Line.
According to Great Basin, it will replace
S&S as the operator of the Line, and S&S
has agreed to discontinue its service
over the Line concurrent with its
replacement by Great Basin.
Great Basin states that the Line is a
segment of a longer rail line running
from milepost 0.0 at or near Cobre, Nev.,
to and beyond McGill Junction. In
addition to the Line, S&S currently
operates the portion of the longer line
from milepost 0.0 to milepost 127.0. See
S&S Shortline Leasing, LLC—Operation
Exemption—City of Ely, Nev., et al., FD
35284 (STB served Aug. 14, 2009). Great
Basin states that it operates the
remaining portion of the line from
milepost 127.9 to milepost 146.1 at or
near Keystone, Nev., and two branch
lines connecting to this line segment.
See Great Basin & N.R.R.—Change in
Operators Exemption—City of Ely, et al.,
FD 34506 (STB served June 7, 2004)
(addressing the portion of the line from
milepost 127.9 to milepost 146.1).
Great Basin certifies that the proposed
transaction does not involve a provision
or agreement that may limit future
interchange with a third-party
connecting carrier. Great Basin also
certifies that its projected revenues as a
result of the transaction will not result
in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail
carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
Under 49 CFR 1150.42(b), a change in
operator requires that notice be given to
shippers. Great Basin states that no
active rail shippers are on or served by
the Line.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after December 13, 2020, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the verified notice was filed).
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 December 4, 2020
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36459, should be filed with the
