Surface Transportation Board

Illinois Central Railroad Company— 

Discontinuance of Service 

Exemption—in Sangamon and 

Montgomery Counties, Ill. 

On March 13, 2015, Illinois Central 

Railroad Company (IC) filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board (Board) a 

petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for 

exemption from the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 10903 to discontinue rail service 

over approximately 10.75 miles of rail 

line between milepost 207.25 at Cimic 

and milepost 218.0 at Farmersville in 

Sangamon and Montgomery Counties, 

Ill. 

IC states that the line includes the 

stations of Farmersville and Cimic, 

although Cimic will remain open north 

of milepost 207.25. The line traverses 

U.S. Postal Service Zip Codes 62530, 

62533, and 62690. 

The interest of railroad employees 

will be protected by the conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad– 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 

91 (1979). 

By issuance of this notice, the Board 

is instituting an exemption proceeding 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final 

decision will be issued by July 1, 2015. 

Because this is a discontinuance 

proceeding and not an abandonment 

proceeding, trail use/rail banking and 

public use conditions are not 

appropriate. 

Any offer of financial assistance 

(OFA) under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) to 

subsidize continued rail service will be 

due no later than July 11, 2015, or 10 

days after service of a decision granting 

the petition for exemption, whichever 

occurs sooner. Each offer must be 

accompanied by a $1,600 filing fee. See 

49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 

All filings in response to this notice 

must refer to Docket No. AB 43 (Sub-No. 

190X) and must be sent to: (1) Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001; and (2) 

Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel 

LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 920, 

Chicago, IL 60606–2832. Replies to the 

petition are due on or before April 22, 

2015.

Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and

1Based on prior notices of exemption, CSXT was 

authorized to discontinue service and abandon the 

same 15.12-mile line segment. See CSX Transp., 

Inc.—Discontinuance of Serv. Exemption—in 

Raleigh Cnty., W. Va., AB 55 (Sub-No. 620X) (STB

Exemption—in Raleigh Cnty., W. Va., AB 55 (SubNo. 661X) (STB served Sept. 22, 2005). However, 

CSXT asserts that it never consummated the 

abandonment authority and that the authority has 

expired. 

2Upon receiving abandonment authority, CSXT 

plans to sell the Line for trail use. 

3The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised 

by a party or by the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) in its independent investigation) 

cannot be made before the exemption’s effective 

date. See Exemption of Out-of-Serv. Rail Lines, 5 

I.C.C. 2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should 

be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may 

take appropriate action before the exemption’s 

effective date. 

4Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which is currently set at $1,600. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25).

CSXT has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the Line for at 

least two years; (2) there is no overhead 

traffic on the Line; (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 two-year period; and (4) the

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment shall be protected under 

Oregon Short Line Railroad— 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 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 become effective on May 

2, 2015, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues,3

Law Offices of Louis E. Gitomer, LLC, 

600 Baltimore Ave., Suite 301, Towson,

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

CSXT has filed environmental and 

historic reports that address the effects, 

if any, of the abandonment on the 

environment and historic resources. 

OEA will issue an environmental 

assessment (EA) by April 7, 2015. 

Interested persons may obtain a copy of 

the EA by writing to OEA (Room 1100, 

Surface Transportation Board, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001) or by

decision. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29(e)(2), CSXT shall file a notice of 

consummation with the Board to signify 

that it has exercised the authority 

granted and fully abandoned the Line. If
