Gulf & Ohio Railways, Inc., H. Peter 

Claussen and Linda C. Claussen— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Lancaster & Chester Railroad, LLC 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, 

DOT. 

ACTION: Correction to notice of 

exemption. 

On October 15, 2010, notice of the 

above exemption was served and 

published in the Federal Register (75 

FR 63,533). The exemption became 

effective on October 31, 2010. On 

February 16, 2011, a correction was 

filed with the Board advising that the 

parent company, which was 

inadvertently referred to in the 

continuance in control filing as ‘‘Gulf & 

Ohio Railways Holding Co., Inc.’’ should 

have been referred to as ‘‘Gulf & Ohio 

Railways, Inc.’’ This notice corrects the 

name of the parent company. All other 

information in the notice is correct. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at http:// 

www.stb.dot.gov. 

Decided: March 4, 2011. 

By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, 

Director, Office of Proceedings.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35474] 

DeQueen and Eastern Railroad, LLC— 

Corporate Family Transaction 

Exemption—Texas, Oklahoma & 

Eastern Railroad, LLC 

DeQueen and Eastern Railroad, LLC 

(DQ&E) and Texas, Oklahoma & Eastern 

Railroad, LLC (TOE), have filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1180.2(d)(3) for a transaction 

within a corporate family. DQ&E seeks 

to lease and operate all of TOE’s lines 

of railroads, consisting of approximately 

40 miles of rail line between milepost 

40.0 (the Oklahoma-Arkansas border) 

and milepost 0.0 (Valliant, Okla.), 

including auxiliary, storage, and spur 

tracks, in McCurtain County, Okla. 

DQ&E and TOE are Class III rail carriers 

and are wholly owned subsidiaries of 

Tennessee Southern Railroad Company 

(TSRR).1 The transaction is intended to 

result in more efficient and lower cost 

operations. 

The exemption will be effective on 

March 24, 2011. 

This is a transaction within a 

corporate family of the type exempted 

from prior review and approval under 

49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3). The parties state 

that the transaction will not result in 

adverse changes in service levels, 

significant operational changes, or 

changes in the competitive balance with 

carriers outside the corporate family. 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of its 

employees. Section 11326(c), however, 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under §§ 11324 and 11325 

that involve only Class III rail carriers. 

Accordingly, the Board may not impose 

labor protective conditions here, 

because all of the carriers involved are 

Class III rail carriers. 

If the 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 transaction. 

Petitions for stay will be due no later 

than March 17, 2011 (at least 7 days 

before the effective date of the 

exemption). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35474 must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading
