[Docket No. FD 35541] 

Tyburn Railroad, LLC—Acquisition and 

Operation Exemption—Tyburn 

Railroad Company 

Tyburn Railroad, LLC (Tyburn), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to 

acquire from Tyburn Railroad Company 

and operate approximately 0.9 miles of 

rail lines in Morrisville, Pa. 

According to Tyburn, there are no 

mileposts associated with the lines, 

which are located at ‘‘1535 S. 

Pennsylvania Avenue’’ in Morrisville. 

The lines were formerly a yard owned 

by Consolidated Rail Corporation 

(Conrail) and are located in a Conrail 

Shared Asset Area. Tyburn states that it 

will be able to interchange traffic with 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company 

(NS) and CSX Transportation, Inc. 

(CSXT), and Tyburn will enter into 

standard agreements with Conrail, NS, 

and CSXT to effect such interchange. 

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption in Docket No. FD 35542, 

Regional Rail—Continuance in Control 

Exemption—Tyburn Railroad, wherein 

Regional Rail, LLC seeks Board approval 

to continue in control of Tyburn, upon 

Tyburn’s becoming a Class III rail 

carrier. 

The transaction may not be 

consummated until August 28, 2011 (30 

days after the notice of exemption was 

filed). 

Tyburn certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction will not result in its 

becoming a Class II or Class I rail carrier 

and will not exceed $5 million. 

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 to stay must be 

filed no later than August 19, 2011 (at 

least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35541, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on Karl Morell, Suite 225, 655 

15th St., NW., Washington, DC 20005.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35542] 

Regional Rail, LLC—Continuance in 

Control Exemption—Tyburn Railroad, 

LLC 

Regional Rail, LLC (Regional), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(2) to continue in control of 

Tyburn Railroad, LLC (Tyburn), upon 

Tyburn’s becoming a Class III rail 

carrier. 

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption in Docket No. FD 35541, 

Tyburn Railroad—Acquisition and 

Operation Exemption—Tyburn 

Railroad, wherein Tyburn seeks Board 

approval to acquire from Tyburn 

Railroad Company and operate 

approximately 0.9 miles of rail lines in 

Morrisville, Pa. 

The parties intend to consummate the 

transaction on or shortly after the 

effective date of the verified notice of 

exemption. 

Regional is a Delaware limited 

liability company that currently controls 

2 Class III railroads, East Penn Railroad, 

LLC (ESPN) and Middletown and New 

Jersey Railroad, LLC (Middletown). 

ESPN operates rail lines in 

Pennsylvania and Delaware, and 

Middletown operates rail lines in New 

York. Regional also owns 100 percent of 

the issued and outstanding shares of 

Tyburn. 

Regional represents that: (1) The rail 

lines to be operated by Tyburn do not 

connect with any other railroads in the 

corporate family; (2) the transaction is 

not part of a series of anticipated 

transactions that would connect the rail 

lines with any other railroads in the 

corporate family; and (3) the transaction 

does not involve a Class I rail carrier. 

Therefore, the transaction is exempt 

from the prior approval requirements of 

49 U.S.C. 11323. See 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(2). 

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 

carriers. 

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. Stay petitions must be 

filed no later than August 19, 2011 (at 

least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35542, 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 Karl Morell, Suite 

225, 655 15th St., NW., Washington, DC 

20005.
