SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36803] 

Hondo Railway, LLC—Acquisition 

Exemption—Rail Line of South Texas 

Liquid Terminal, Inc. 

Hondo Railway, LLC (HRC), a Class III 

rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to 

acquire from South Texas Liquid 

Terminal, Inc. (STLT), 13,200 feet of 

track in the vicinity of Hondo, Tex. in 

Medina County (the Line).1 HRC states 

that there are no mileposts on the Line. 

According to the verified notice, HRC 

has operated over the Line pursuant to 

a lease agreement between HRC and 

STLT since 2006. See Hondo Ry.—Lease 

& Operation Exemption—Rail Line of S. 

Tex. Liquid Terminal, Inc., FD 34901 

(STB served Aug. 16, 2006). 

The verified notice states that the 

parties have reached an agreement 

pursuant to which HRC will convert its 

existing leasehold interest in the Line to 

fee ownership. HRC states that, 

following consummation of the 

proposed transaction, HRC will 

continue to operate the Line as it has 

since 2006. 

HRC certifies that the proposed 

acquisition of the Line does not involve 

any interchange commitments. HRC 

further certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not result in the creation of a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier and will not 

exceed $5 million. 

The effective date of the exemption 

will be established in a separate 

decision.2

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 23, 

2024. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36803, must be filed with the
