1CMRC states that, although it has used the Line 

within the past two years for car storage for off-line 

shippers, such usage does not constitute traffic for 

purposes of qualification for the class exemption 

under 49 CFR 1152.50(b), citing Union Pacific 

Railroad—Abandonment Exemption—in Ada 

County, Idaho, Docket No. AB 33 (Sub-No. 137X), 

slip op. at 3 (STB served Aug. 6, 1999) (‘‘It is well 

settled that use of a rail line to store rail cars for 

the convenience of off-line shippers or the railroad 

is not traffic originating or terminating on the line 

within the meaning of 49 CFR 1152.50(b).’’). 

2Persons interested in submitting an OFA to 

subsidize continued rail service must first file a 

formal expression of intent to file an offer, 

indicating the intent to file an OFA for subsidy and 

demonstrating that they are preliminarily 

financially responsible. See 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2)(i). 

3CMRC states that it intends to consummate the 

discontinuance of the Line after April 19, 2022. 

4The filing fee for OFAs can be found at 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 

5Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and 

not an abandonment, interim trail use/rail banking 

and public use conditions are not appropriate. 

Because there will be an environmental review 

during abandonment, this discontinuance does not 

require environmental review. 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

Discontinuance of Service 

Exemption—in Franklin County, Mo. 

Central Midland Railway Company

U.S. Postal Service Zip Codes 63013 and

CMRC has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the Line for at 

least two years; 1 (2) any overhead traffic 

can be rerouted over other lines; (3) no 

formal complaint filed by a user of rail 

service on the Line (or a state or local 

government entity acting on behalf of 

such user) regarding cessation of service 

over the Line either is pending with the

U.S. District Court or has been decided 

in favor of a complainant within the 

two-year period; and (4) the 

requirements at 49 CFR 1105.12

protected under Oregon Short Line 

Railroad—Abandonment Portion

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) 2 to subsidize

received, this exemption will be 

effective on April 17, 2022, unless 

stayed pending reconsideration.3

environmental issues and formal 

expressions of intent to file an OFA to 

subsidize continued rail service under 

49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) 4 must be filed by 

March 28, 2022.5 Petitions for

is void ab initio.
