Elkhart & Western Railroad Co.—Lease 

and Operation Exemption—Norfolk 

Southern Railway Company 

Elkhart & Western Railroad Co. 

(EWR), a Class III rail carrier,1 has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to lease and to operate, 

pursuant to a lease agreement 

(Agreement) 2 with Norfolk Southern 

Railway Company (NSR), approximately 

23.0 miles of NSR’s rail line generally 

referred to as a portion of the Michigan 

City Branch (MCB) extending between 

milepost I 108.6+/¥ at Argos, IN 

(including track extending from the 

clearance point of the east switch of the 

track connecting the MCB to NSR’s 

Argos Yard, continuing to the end of the 

right-of-way at Argos), and milepost I 

131.6+/¥ at Walkerton, IN, but 

excluding the trackage and diamonds 

between the northbound and 

southbound home signals at CP West 

Argos (which trackage NSR will retain 

to protect the crossing of NSR’s Chicago 

District). 

EWR states that it will interchange 

traffic with NSR at a track in the vicinity 

of Argos Yard. EWR also states that it 

does not believe that the Agreement 

contains an interchange commitment 

that would impede EWR’s ability to 

interchange with third party carriers. 

See 49 CFR 1150.43(h). According to 

EWR, the Agreement does contain a 

standard rental credit provision, which 

EWR sought in negotiations to afford it 

greater financial flexibility to, among 

other things, improve the line’s 

infrastructure. To ensure adherence to 

49 CFR 1150.43(h) for transactions 

involving interchange commitments, 

EWR concurrently has filed with its 

notice a complete version of the 

Agreement, marked ‘‘highly 

confidential’’ and submitted under seal 

pursuant to 49 CFR 1104.14(a). 

EWR certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of the transaction 

will not result in it becoming a Class II 

or Class I rail carrier and further 

certifies that its projected annual 

revenues will not exceed $5 million. 

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or after March 6, 2010, 

the effective date of the exemption (30 

days after the exemption was filed).
