Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35402] 

Piedmont & Northern Railway, Inc.— 

Operation Exemption—North Carolina 

Department of Transportation 

Piedmont & Northern Railway, Inc. 

(P&N), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

1150.31 to operate over approximately 

13.04 miles of rail line (the Line) owned 

by the North Carolina Department of 

Transportation (NCDOT), a noncarrier,1

between Mt. Holly (milepost SFC 11.39) 

and Gastonia (milepost SFC 23.0), 

including the Belmont spur between Mt. 

Holly (milepost SFC 13.6/SFF 0.13) and 

Belmont (milepost SFF 1.56), in Gaston 

County, N.C.2 Operations will be 

pursuant to a License and Operating 

Agreement (Agreement) dated July 23, 

2010, which has an initial 5-year term 

and may be renewed 3 times for 

additional 5-year terms.3

This transaction is related to the 

verified notice of exemption filed in FD 

35403, Patriot Rail, LLC—Continuance 

in Control Exemption—Piedmont & 

Northern Railway, in which Patriot Rail, 

LLC, Patriot Rail Holdings LLC, and 

Patriot Rail Corp., jointly filed a verified 

notice of exemption to continue in 

control of P&N, upon P&N’s becoming a 

Class III rail carrier. 

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or after September 18, 

2010 (30 days after the supplements to 

the notice of exemption were filed). The 

notice was filed on August 12, 2010, but 

the Agreement and supplements were 

filed on August 19, 2010. Therefore, 

August 19, 2010, will be considered the 

official filing date and the basis for all 

due dates. 

P&N certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

would not exceed those that would 

qualify it as a Class III rail carrier and 

further certifies that its projected annual 

revenues 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 for stay must 

be filed no later than September 10, 

2010 (at least 7 days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to FD 35402, 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 

Louis E. Gitomer, 600 Baltimore Ave., 

Suite 301, Towson, MD 21204.

Federal Railroad Administration 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

In accordance with Part 211 of Title 

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

notice is hereby given that the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) has 

received a request for a waiver of 

compliance from certain requirements 

of its safety standards. The individual 

petition is described below, including 

the party seeking relief, the regulatory 

provisions involved, the nature of the 

relief being requested, and the 

petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief. 

Aronco Leasing Company 

(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA– 

2010–0120) 

The Aronco Leasing Company 

(Aronco), a private passenger car 

operator based in Helendale, California, 

seeks a waiver of compliance from the 

Safety Glazing Standards of 49 CFR 

223.15 Requirements for existing 

passenger cars. Specifically, Aronco has 

petitioned FRA for a waiver for private 

railroad passenger car Tioga Pass, 

which was built for the Canadian 

National Railroad in 1959. The 

Petitioner operates this car in charter 

and excursion service on Amtrak and 

other railroads. 

Aronco states that passenger car Tioga 

Pass is primarily equipped with double 

pane laminated safety glass, with the 

exception of seven windows in which 

the outer panes are glazed with 1⁄4’’ 

polycarbonate. Aronco states that in 4 

years of operating the car in charter 

service, there have been no incidents of 

broken windows, and no injuries have 

occurred to passengers or crew due to 

broken glass. Aronco additionally states 

the Tioga Pass is always operated with 

a fully qualified car operator, and is 

equipped with a fully accessible 

emergency tool locker. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and 

specify the basis for their request.
