[STB Finance Docket No. 35217] 

Stillwater Central Railroad, Inc.—Lease 

and Operation Exemption—Hollis & 

Eastern Railroad L.L.C. 

Stillwater Central Railroad, Inc. 

(SLWC), a Class III carrier, has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to lease and to operate, 

pursuant to a lease agreement 

(Agreement) entered into with Hollis & 

Eastern Railroad L.L.C. (H&E), 14 miles 

of H&E’s rail line between milepost 0.0 

at Duke, OK and milepost 14.0 at Altus, 

OK (the line). 

SLWC states that there is no provision 

or agreement that will limit future 

interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier. See 49 CFR 

1150.43(h). 

SLWCS certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of the 

transaction will not result in SLWC 

becoming a Class II or Class I rail 

carrier. However, because its projected 

annual revenues will exceed $5 million, 

SLWC also certifies that it has complied 

with notice requirements of 49 CFR 

1150.42(e). 

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or shortly after March 

6, 2010, at least 60 days after SLWC’s 

certification of the notice requirements 

of section 49 CFR 1150.42(e). 

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 February 26, 2010 

(at least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35217, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

GTW’s Elsdon Subdivision, between 

milepost 30.92 at Munster, IN, and 

milepost 8.7 at Elsdon, IL, a distance of 

approximately 22.22 miles.2

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after February 27, 2010, the

between Thornton Junction and The 

Belt Railway Company of Chicago’s 

Clearing Yard and CSX Intermodal’s 

Bedford Park Intermodal Terminal over 

the Elsdon Subdivision. CSXT’s initial 

plans are to reroute two sets of 

approximately 5,000 foot long high 

priority intermodal United Parcel 

Service (UPS) trains that originate or 

terminate at CSX Intermodal’s Bedford 

Park Intermodal Terminal. The UPS 

trains handle freight to and from the 

southeastern region of the United States 

served by CSXT. The purpose of the 

transaction is to enable CSXT to reduce 

congestion on the Baltimore & Ohio 

Chicago Terminal’s Blue Island 

Subdivision and enhance the efficiency 

of its operation in the Chicago area. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the trackage 

rights will be protected by the

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

filed by February 19, 2010 (at least 7 

days before the exemption becomes 

effective).
