BILLING CODE 4710–05–P 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. AB 55 (Sub-No. 805X)] 

CSX Transportation, Inc.— 

Abandonment Exemption—in 

Davidson County, Tenn. 

On June 30, 2021, CSX 

Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) filed a 

petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for 

exemption from the prior approval 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10903 to 

abandon an approximately 2,262-foot 

rail line between milepost Val Sta. 

2403+77 and milepost Val Sta. 2426+39 

on its Nashville Division, Nashville 

Terminal Subdivision, in Davidson 

County, Tenn. (the Line). The Line 

traverses U.S. Postal Service Zip Code 

37207. 

According to CSXT, in the last two 

years, there were two shippers on the 

Line, Cherokee Marine Terminals and 

Kenwal Steel Corporation. (Pet. 3.) 

CSXT states that the property on which 

both shippers were located has been 

purchased by Monroe Infrastructure, 

LLC (Monroe), (id.), that both shippers 

are no longer located on the Line, (id. 

at 5), and that there are no current 

customers on the Line, (id.). Moreover, 

CSXT represents that Monroe intends to 

redevelop the land adjacent to the Line 

for non-rail purposes—specifically 

retail, residential, and office space—and 

that the City has rezoned the adjacent 

land for residential and commercial use. 

(Id. at 4–5.) Thus, CSXT asserts, there 

are no prospects for future shippers on 

the Line. (Id. at 5.) CSXT seeks to 

abandon its interest in the Line and sell 

the property to Monroe to facilitate the 

redevelopment of the adjacent property. 

(Id. at 4.) 

CSXT states that, based on the 

information in its possession, the Line 

does not contain federally granted 

rights-of-way. Any documentation in 

CSXT’s possession will be made 

available promptly to those requesting 

it. 

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 issuing this notice, the Board is 

instituting an exemption proceeding 

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

decision will be issued by October 18, 

2021. 

Any offer of financial assistance 

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

be due no later than 120 days after the 

filing of the petition for exemption, or 

10 days after service of a decision 

granting the petition for exemption, 

whichever occurs sooner. Persons 

interested in submitting an OFA must 

first file a formal expression of intent to 

file an offer by July 30, 2021, indicating 

the type of financial assistance they 

wish to provide (i.e., subsidy or 

purchase) and demonstrating that they 

are preliminarily financially 

responsible. See 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(1)(i). 

Following abandonment, the Line 

may be suitable for other public use, 

including interim trail use. Any request 

for a public use condition under 49 CFR 

1152.28 or for interim trail use/rail 

banking under 49 CFR 1152.29 will be 

due no later than August 9, 2021.1

All pleadings referring to Docket No. 

AB 55 (Sub-No. 805X) should be filed 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

via e-filing on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on CSXT’s representative, 

Melanie B. Yasbin, Law Offices of Louis 

E. Gitomer, 600 Baltimore Avenue, Suite 

301, Towson, MD 21204. Replies to the 

petition are due on or before August 9, 

2021.
