LLC—Lease and Operation
Exemption—Eighteen Thirty Group,

Georges Creek Division Railroad, LLC
(GCDR), a noncarrier, has filed a verified
notice of exemption under 49 CFR part
1150, subpart D, to lease and conduct
common carrier operations over
approximately 14.49 miles of rail line as
follows: (a) 13.94 miles of railroad line
consisting of a portion of the former
CSXT Transportation, Inc. (CSXT)
Georges Creek Subdivision between
approximately milepost BAI 31.6 at
Westernport, Md., and approximately
milepost BAI 18.46 at the end of the line
at Carlos/Shaft, Md.; and (b) 0.55 miles
of railroad consisting of a portion of the
former CSXT Thomas Subdivision from
approximately milepost BAH 26.25 at
Barton, Md., to the end of track at
approximately milepost BAH 26.80 at
Westernport (collectively, the Lines).
According to the verified notice, the
Lines are owned by Eighteen Thirty
Group, LLC (Eighteen Thirty). The
verified notice states that GCDR and
Eighteen Thirty are finalizing a Land
and Rail Assets Lease Agreement
(Lease), under which GCDR will assume
the right and obligation to offer and
provide railroad common carrier service
over the Lines. Furthermore, the verified
notice states that the Lease will permit
GCDR to enter into a land and rail assets
sublease agreement with Western
Maryland Scenic Railroad Development
Corporation (WMSR), the noncarrier
that controls GCDR, to enable WMSR to
operate intrastate excursion and railroad
tourism over the Lines.1
GCDR certifies that its projected
annual revenue will not result in the
creation of a Class I or Class II rail
carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
GCDR also certifies that the agreement
does not include an interchange
commitment. The transaction may be
consummated on or after September 28,
1 According to the verified notice, under such a
sublease, WMSR would assume all rights and
obligations in the Lines under the Lease except the
right and obligation to offer and provide railroad
common carrier service, which GCDR would retain.
