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 

served July 19, 2002); CSX Transp., Inc.—Aban. 

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

condition adequately protects affected

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

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio.

historic reports that address the effects, 

if any, of the abandonment on the 

environment and historic resources.

the EA by writing to OEA (Room 1100,

where appropriate, in a subsequent 

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 

consummation has not been effected by

consummation by April 2, 2016, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.
