SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36726] 

Pan Am Southern LLC—Temporary 

Overhead Trackage Rights—Boston 

and Maine Corporation and Springfield 

Terminal Railway Corporation 

Pan Am Southern LLC (PAS) has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1180.2(d)(8) to acquire temporary 

overhead trackage rights over a line 

owned by the Boston and Maine 

Corporation (B&M) and leased and 

operated by Springfield Terminal 

Railway Company (ST). That line 

generally extends between PAS’s 

existing connection to B&M/ST’s tracks 

at Engineering Station 215+89 at CPF 

312 outside Ayer, Mass., and 

Engineering Station 225+00 outside 

Ayer, for a total distance of 

approximately 1,000 feet (the Line).1

According to PAS, its use of the Line 

would be limited to repositioning 

locomotives. PAS states that Pittsburg & 

Shawmut Railroad, LLC d/b/a Berkshire 

& Eastern Railroad (B&E) currently 

serves as the contract operator of PAS 

and that PAS/B&E serve a facility 

located on PAS’s line, just west of its 

connection to the Line. PAS explains 

that due to a lack of space on PAS’s line 

between the facility and CPF 312, PAS/ 

B&E do not have sufficient headroom to 

reposition PAS/B&E locomotives 

serving the facility, resulting in 

inefficiency and congestion on PAS’s 

network. PAS notes an urgent need to 

reduce congestion on the PAS network 

and states that the limited overhead 

temporary trackage rights sought in this 

docket would provide PAS/B&E with 

the necessary head and tail room to 

reposition locomotives while PAS 

pursues a long-term solution to the 

issue, namely installation of a ‘‘crossover’’ on PAS’s line. PAS states that 

procurement and installation of the 

cross-over will take approximately 75 

days, and that, based on that schedule, 

the parties have agreed that the 

temporary overhead trackage rights will 

expire on December 5, 2023. 

On September 22, 2023, PAS filed a 

petition to waive the requirement under 

49 CFR 1180.4(g) that a verified notice 

be filed at least 30 days before the 

transaction is consummated and to 

allow the exemption to take effect 

immediately, or no later than September 

28, 2023. The effective date of the 

exemption will be addressed in a 

separate decision on the waiver request. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the acquisition of 

the temporary trackage rights will be 

protected by the conditions imposed in 

Norfolk & Western Railway—Trackage 

Rights—Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 

I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in 

Mendocino Coast Railway—Lease & 

Operate—California Western Railroad,
