SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36813] 

Cedar Hills Rail LLC—Operation 

Exemption—Ab Eco Park LLC 

Cedar Hills Rail LLC (CHR), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.31 

to operate over approximately 7,150 feet 

of what is currently private track (the 

Line) located in a 90-acre industrial 

park (the Park). The Park is located in 

the Town of North Haven, Conn., and 

the City of New Haven, Conn., along the 

Hartford Line of CSX Transportation, 

Inc. (CSXT).1 CHR’s parent company, 

AB Eco Park LLC (AB Eco), owns the 

Park. 

The verified notice states that CHR 

and AB Eco are entering into a track 

lease and operating agreement, under 

which CHR will provide common 

carrier rail service over the Line. 

According to CHR, it will interchange 

with CSXT and its rail operations will 

consist primarily of switching railcars to 

and from shippers in the Park. CHR 

explains that before operations begin, it 

will rehabilitate the existing track and 

replace the switch with CSXT. CHR also 

states that, upon consummation of the 

transaction, it will contract with a not 

yet identified rail carrier to operate the 

Line on CHR’s behalf, and that the new 

operator will also seek authority from 

the Board to operate over the Line.2

CHR certifies that its projected annual 

revenues are not expected to exceed 

those that would qualify it as a Class III 

rail carrier and are not expected to 

exceed $5 million. CHR also certifies 

that its operation of the Line will not 

involve any provision or agreement that 

would limit future interchange with a 

third-party carrier. The transaction may 

be consummated on or after November 

7, 2024, the effective date of the 

exemption (30 days after the verified 

notice was filed).3

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 31, 2024 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36813, 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 CHR’s representative, John 

K. Fiorilla, Dyer & Peterson PC, 605 

Main Street, Suite 104, Riverton, NJ 

08077. 

According to CHR, 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).

Decided: October 21, 2024.

Director, Office of Proceedings.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2010–0030] 

Massachusetts Bay Transportation 

Authority’s Request To Amend Its 

Positive Train Control System 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: This document provides the 

public with notice that, on October 11, 

2024, the Massachusetts Bay 

Transportation Authority (MBTA) 

submitted a request for amendment 

(RFA) to its FRA-approved Positive 

Train Control Safety Plan (PTCSP) to 

install Construction Zone (CZ) 

Transponders to reconfigure its positive 

train control (PTC) system on the South 

Side Middleboro Main Line (MML) at 

the Pilgrim Interlocking at Milepost 

(MP) 34.86 to its final configuration in 

order to interface with the adjacent new 

South Coast Rail (SCR) Lines. The CZ 

will result in the suspension of portions 

of the PTC system on the MML from 

December 1, 2024, to December 15, 

2024. As this RFA involves a request for 

FRA’s approval of proposed material 

modifications to an FRA-certified PTC 

system, FRA is publishing this notice 

and inviting public comment on 

MBTA’s RFA to its PTC system. 

DATES: FRA will consider comments 

received by November 13, 2024. FRA 

may consider comments received after 

that date to the extent practicable and 

without delaying implementation of 

valuable or necessary modifications to a 

PTC system.
