(the Line).1 According to the verified notice, MRR and MHRA have reached an agreement pursuant to which MRR will acquire the Line and, upon consummation of the acquisition transaction, replace Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston Railroad d/b/a the Baldwin City & Southern Railroad Company (BC&S) as the common carrier service provider on the Line. The verified notice indicates that MHRA controls BC&S and that BC&S does not object to the proposed transaction by which it would be replaced by MRR as operator on the Line. MRR certifies that the agreement governing the proposed transaction does not have an interchange commitment. MRR further certifies that its projected annual revenues resulting from the transaction will not exceed $5 million and will not result in MRR’s becoming a Class I or Class II rail carrier. Under 49 CFR 1150.32(b), a change in operator requires that notice be given to shippers. MRR states that there are currently no customers on the Line, and accordingly, no shippers to notify of the transaction. The earliest this transaction may be consummated is September 29, 2022. MRR states that it expects to consummate its acquisition of, and commence common carrier operations over, the Line on or after that date. 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.
