SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 35754 (Sub-No. 1)] 

RSL Railroad, LLC—Amended Lease 

and Operation Exemption Containing 

Interchange Commitment—Line of 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company 

RSL Railroad, LLC (RSL), a Class III 

rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.41 

to continue to lease and operate 1.4 

miles of rail line, known as the South 

Massillon IT, between milepost MT 0.0 

and milepost MT 1.4 at Massillon, Ohio 

(the Line). 

According to the verified notice, RSL 

was authorized to operate the Line in 

2013 pursuant to a lease agreement with 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company 

(NSR) (Lease Agreement), which 

provided for a fixed lease rental 

payment. See RSL R.R.—Lease & 

Operation Exemption—Line of Norfolk 

S. Ry., FD 35754 (STB served Aug. 23, 

2013). RSL and NSR amended the lease 

in 2015 (First Amendment), which 

modified the lease rental provisions of 

the Lease Agreement to permit RSL to 

receive a lease credit against its fixed 

rental payment for each revenue carload 

it interchanges with NSR on the Line. 

See RSL R.R.—Lease Exemption 

Containing Interchange Commitment— 

Norfolk S. Ry., FD 35990 (STB served 

Jan. 28, 2016). At NSR’s request, the 

parties have agreed to a second 

amendment (Second Amendment) that 

extends the lease and increases the lease 

rental provisions of the Lease 

Agreement.1 According to the verified 

notice, RSL will continue to provide all 

common carrier rail operations over the 

Line. All other terms and conditions of 

the Lease Agreement remain in full 

force and effect. 

RSL certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of the transaction 

will not result in the creation of a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier and will not 

exceed $5 million. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after October 20, 2023, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

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 October 13, 2023 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 35754 (Sub-No. 1), must be filed 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

either via e-filing on the Board’s website 

or in writing addressed to 395 E Street 

SW, Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on RSL’s representative, Terry 

A. Moore, Esq., Krugliak, Wilkins, 

Griffiths & Dougherty Co., L.P.A., 4775 

Munson Street NW, Canton, Ohio 

44718. 

According to RSL, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c) and from historic preservation 

reporting requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.8(b). 

Board decisions and notices are available 

at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: October 2, 2023. 

By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting 

Director, Office of Proceedings.
