SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36208] 

Progressive Rail Incorporated— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Company, 

LLC 

Progressive Rail Incorporated (PGR), a 

Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

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

Paul & Pacific Railroad Company, LLC 

(SPR), upon SPR’s becoming a Class III 

rail carrier. 

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption in St. Paul & Pacific Railroad 

Company, LLC—Change in Operator 

Exemption—Santa Cruz and Monterey 

Bay Railway Company, Docket No. FD 

36207. In that proceeding, SPR seeks an 

exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to 

assume operations over approximately 

31 miles of rail line (the Line) owned by 

the Santa Cruz County Regional 

Transportation Commission extending 

from milepost 0.433 at Watsonville 

Junction to milepost 31.39 at Davenport, 

Cal. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is August 15, 2018, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). PGR 

states that it intends to consummate the 

transaction on August 16, 2018. 

PGR will continue in control of SPR 

upon SPR’s becoming a Class III rail 

carrier and remains in control of Class 

III carriers Airlake Terminal Railway 

Company, LLC, Central Midland 

Railway Company, Iowa Traction 

Railway Company, Iowa Southern 

Railway Company, Piedmont & 

Northern Railroad Company, and 

Chicago Junction Railway Company. 

PGR states that: (1) The rail line to be 

operated by SPR does not connect with 

any other railroads in the PGR corporate 

family; (2) the continuance in control is 

not part of a series of anticipated 

transactions that would connect this 

line with any other railroad in the PGR 

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
