(the Line), following the acquisition of the Line by Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) from GLTRR’s affiliated company, Great Lakes Terminal, LLC (GLT). According to the verified notice, the Line does not have mileposts. GLTRR has operated over the Line since 2018 pursuant to a lease agreement with GLT.1 According to the verified notice, GLT has reached an agreement with NSR to sell NSR the Line on or after September 6, 2024. GLTRR states it has entered into a lease agreement with NSR to continue to operate the Line following the close of the sale. GLTRR states that the lease agreement will be effective on or after the effective date of the notice. GLTRR certifies that its projected annual revenues are less than $5 million and are not expected to exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III carrier. GLTRR states that the transaction does not involve any provision or agreement that may limit future interchange with a third-party connecting carrier, nor is the Line currently subject to any agreement that imposes such an interchange commitment. The transaction may be consummated on or after September 8, 2024, 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.
