City of Charlotte, NC—Acquisition
Exemption—Norfolk Southern Railway
Company
The City of Charlotte, NC (the City),
a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to
acquire from Norfolk Southern Railway
Company (NSR) its right, title, and
interests in the right-of-way, track, and
related physical assets (the Assets) of an
approximately 29.04-mile portion of
NSR’s O Line in Mecklenburg and
Iredell Counties, NC (O Line Segment).1
The O Line Segment extends from
milepost O–0.04 in Charlotte, NC, to
milepost O–29.08 in Mooresville, NC.
According to the City, under the terms
of its agreements with NSR,2 the City
will acquire the Assets, with NSR
retaining a permanent and exclusive
easement preserving NSR’s ability to
fulfill its common carrier and related
freight services over the O Line
Segment. The City states that the
acquisition is part of a planned
expansion of the Charlotte Area Transit
System, the City’s regional transit
network, which will better link northern
1 The City also filed a motion to dismiss the
notice of exemption on the grounds that the
transaction does not require authorization from the
Board. The motion to dismiss will be addressed in
a subsequent Board decision.
2 Public and confidential versions of the Purchase
and Sale Agreement and the Draft Comprehensive
Rail Agreement (Agreements) were filed with the
motion to dismiss. The confidential versions were

suburban communities with the City of
Charlotte. The City also states that it
will be prohibited under the
Agreements from providing freight rail
service or unreasonably interfering with
NSR’s freight service over the O Line
Segment. According to the verified
notice, NSR will retain the easement to
provide rail service to customers over,
on, and connecting to the Assets.
The City certifies that the proposed
transaction does not include any
provision or agreement that would limit
future interchange with a third-party
connecting carrier. The City also
certifies that, because it will not
conduct any freight rail carrier
operations over the Assets, its projected
annual revenues will not exceed $5
million and will not exceed those that
would qualify the City as being a Class
III rail carrier.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after July 10, 2024, the effective
date of the exemption (30 days after the
verified notice of exemption 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)
maybe 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 July 3, 2024 (at least seven days
before the exemption becomes
effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36785, must be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board either via
e-filing on the Board’s website or in
writing addressed to 395 E Street SW,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on the City’s representative,
Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel
LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800,
Chicago, IL 60606–3208.
According to the City, this action is
categorically excluded from
environmental reporting requirements
under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and from
historic preservation reporting
requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).
