Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Docket No. AB–459 (Sub-No. 3X)] 

The Central Railroad Company of 

Indiana—Discontinuance of Service 

Exemption—in Decatur County, IN 

The Central Railroad Company of 

Indiana (CIND) has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR part 

1152 subpart F—Exempt Abandonments 

and Discontinuances of Service to 

discontinue service over a 2.6-mile line 

of railroad between milepost 64.67 and 

milepost 67.27, near Greenburg, in 

Decatur County, IN. The line traverses 

United States Postal Service Zip Code 

47240. 

CIND has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic 

can be rerouted over other lines; (3) no 

formal complaint filed by a user of rail 

service on the line (or by a State or local 

government entity acting on behalf of 

such user) regarding cessation of service 

over the line either is pending with the 

Surface Transportation Board (Board) or 

with any U.S. District Court or has been 

decided in favor of complainant within 

the 2-year period; and (4) the 

requirements at 49 CFR 1105.12 

(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR 

1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental 

agencies) have been met.1

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

discontinuance shall be protected under 

Oregon Short Line R. Co.—

Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 

(1979). To address whether this 

condition adequately protects affected 

employees, a petition for partial 

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on October 

20, 2006,2 unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay and 

formal expressions of intent to file an 

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) 3 must 

be filed by October 2, 2006. Petitions to 

reopen must be filed by October 10, 

2006, with the Surface Transportation 

Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, 

DC 20423–0001. 

A copy of any petition filed with the 

Board should be sent to applicant’s 

representative: Louis E. Gitomer, 600 

Baltimore Avenue, Suite 301, Towson, 

MD 21204. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at 

‘‘WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.’’

Decided: September 12, 2006.
