SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36607] 

Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co.— 

Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption—in Allegan County, Mich. 

Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co. 

(HNW), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 

1150.31 to acquire and operate 

approximately 6.10 miles of track in 

Allegan County, Mich., extending from 

a point of connection with a line of CSX 

Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), at milepost 

19.00 in Holland, Mich., to milepost 

12.90 in Hamilton, Mich. (the Line).1

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption in Hamilton Hartford Group, 

LLC—Continuance in Control 

Exemption—Hamilton Northwestern 

Railroad, Docket No. FD 36608, in 

which Hamilton Hartford Group, LLC, 

seeks to continue in control of HNW 

upon HNW’s becoming a Class III rail 

carrier. 

According to the verified notice, the 

Line was once a part of CSXT’s network 

of rail lines in Western Michigan but 

was abandoned in 2003. See CSXT 

Consummation Notice, Jul. 7, 2003, CSX 

Transp., Inc.—Aban. Exemption—in 

Allegan Cnty., Mich., AB 55 (Sub-No. 

619X). HNW states that, after 

abandonment, the Line was sold several 

times as private industry track and was 

ultimately acquired by its current 

owner, Endeavor Ag and Energy, LLP 

(Endeavor), a noncarrier. HNW, 

therefore, states that the proposed 

transfer of the Line would not involve 

a Board-regulated railroad line. 

However, HNW states that it has a 

signed agreement to purchase the Line, 

that it intends to reestablish common 

carrier service over the Line, and that 

the Line would once again become a 

regulated line of railroad upon the latter 

of the effective date of this exemption or 

upon the closing of HNW’s purchase of 

the Line. 

According to HNW, it will not be 

subject to any limitations on its ability 

to interchange on the Line with a thirdparty connecting carrier. HNW certifies 

that its projected annual revenue will 

not exceed $5 million and that the 

proposed transaction will not result in 

HNW’s becoming a Class I or II rail 

carrier. 

HNW has also filed a petition for 

waiver of 49 CFR 1150.32(b), which 

states that a notice of exemption will be 

effective 30 days after the notice is filed. 

HNW asks the Board to waive that 

provision and allow this notice to 

become effective by May 6, 2022, so that 

HNW can assume operations and 

minimize the risk of a disruption of rail 

service on the Line. HNW’s request will 

be addressed in a separate decision, in 

which the Board will establish the 

effective date of the exemption. 

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 May 13, 2022 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36607, 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 HNW’s representative, 

Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel 

LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800, 

Chicago, IL 60606–3208. 

According to HNW, 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: May 3, 2022.

Director, Office of Proceedings.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36608] 

Hamilton Hartford Group, LLC— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co. 

Hamilton Hartford Group, LLC (HHG), 

a noncarrier, filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2) to 

continue in control of Hamilton 

Northwestern Railroad Co. (HNW), a 

noncarrier controlled by HHG, upon 

HNW’s becoming a Class III rail carrier.1

This notice of exemption is related to 

a concurrently filed notice of exemption 

in Hamilton Northwestern Railroad— 

Acquisition & Operation Exemption—in 

Allegan County, Mich., Docket No. FD 

36607, in which HNW seeks to acquire 

and operate approximately 6.10 miles of 

track in Allegan County, Mich. 

According to the verified notice of 

exemption, HHG controls one railroad, 

the West Michigan Railroad Co. (WMI), 

which operates in Michigan. 

HHG represents that: (1) The line 

which HNW seeks authority to acquire 

and operate over does not connect with 

the lines of any existing rail carriers 

controlled by HHG; (2) the proposed 

transaction is not part of a series of 

anticipated transactions that would 

connect the line with any other 

railroads in the HHG corporate family; 

and (3) the transaction does not involve 

a Class I rail carrier. Therefore, the 

proposed transaction is exempt from the 

prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
