BILLING CODE 4710–09–P 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36540] 

Cornhusker Railroad, LLC—Operation 

Exemption—Trackage in Hall and 

Adams Counties, Neb. 

Cornhusker Railroad, LLC (CORN), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.31 

to operate approximately 27 miles of 

track in Hall and Adams Counties, Neb. 

(the Line). The Line consists of: (1) The 

Grand Island Branch, between a 

connection with BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF) at West Airport Road 

near BNSF milepost 103.55 in Ovina, 

Neb., and a connection with Union 

Pacific Railroad Company (UP) at West 

Husker Highway near UP milepost 154.5 

in Alda, Neb., a distance of 

approximately five miles, and 

approximately 17 miles of connected 

industry track to the west, all located in 

Hall County; and (2) the Hastings 

Branch, consisting of approximately five 

miles of industry track that connects to 

UP’s Hastings Industrial Park 

Subdivision in Hastings, Adams County. 

According to CORN, no common carrier 

services are currently being offered on 

the Line.1

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption in Cathcart Rail, LLC— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Cornhusker Railroad, Docket No. FD 

36541, in which Cathcart Rail, LLC, 

seeks to continue in control of CORN 

upon CORN’s becoming a Class III rail 

carrier. 

According to the verified notice, 

CORN has not yet entered into an 

agreement with the owner of the Line, 

but CORN states that, prior to exercising 

operating authority, it will acquire title 

to the rail assets that will be used in 

common carrier service. 

CORN states that the proposed 

transaction does not involve any 

provision or agreement that would limit 

future interchange on the Line with a 

third-party connecting carrier. CORN 

certifies that its projected annual 

revenue will not exceed $5 million and 

that the proposed transaction will not 

result in CORN’s becoming a Class I or 

II rail carrier. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is September 19, 2021, 

the effective date of the exemption (30 

days after the verified notice was filed). 

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 September 10, 

2021. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36540, should be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on CORN’s representative, 

David F. Rifkind, Stinson LLP, 1775 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 800, 

Washington, DC 20006. 

According to CORN, 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). 

Board decisions and notices are 

available at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: August 31, 2021. 

By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting 

Director, Office of Proceedings. 

Aretha Laws-Byrum, 

Clearance Clerk.
