SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36260] 

Gateway Industrial Railroad, LLC— 

Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption—Avatar Corporation 

Gateway Industrial Railway, LLC 

(GIRR), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption 1 under 49 CFR 

1150.31 to acquire and operate by 

agreement with Avatar Corporation 

approximately 2,400 feet (0.46 mile) of 

existing railroad right-of-way and 

trackage and transloading facilities in 

University Park, Ill. (the trackage). 

According to GIRR, there are no 

mileposts associated with the trackage. 

GIRR states that the trackage is used to 

interchange with Canadian National 

Railroad. GIRR further states that Avatar 

Corporation ships outbound shipments 

via truck and rail, and that it is 

anticipated that GIRR will service 

nearby companies. 

GIRR asserts that, because the 

trackage in question will constitute its 

entire line of railroad, this trackage is a 

line of railroad under 49 U.S.C. 10901, 

rather than spur, switching, or side 

tracks under 49 U.S.C. 10906.2

GIRR certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction will not exceed those that 

would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier 

and will not exceed $5 million. 

GIRR states that the transaction is 

scheduled to be consummated on or 

before December 14, 2018. However, the 

earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is January 10, 2019, 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. 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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than January 3, 2019 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

36260, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on David C. Dillon, 

Dillon & Nash, Ltd., 3100 Dundee Road, 

Suite 508, Northbrook, IL 60062. 

According to GIRR, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c) and from historic reporting 

requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b). 

Board decisions and notices are 

available at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: December 20, 2018.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
