SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 36625]


Omni River Ridge, LLC d/b/a River Ridge Railroad--Operation 
Exemption--in Clark County, Ind.

    Omni River Ridge, LLC d/b/a River Ridge Railroad (RRR), a 
noncarrier controlled by short line holding company OmniTRAX Holdings 
Combined, Inc.
    (OmniTRAX) has filed a verified notice of exemption pursuant to 49 
CFR 1150.31 to operate a segment of track that extends from a point of 
connection with a line of CSX Transportation, Inc., Hoosier 
Subdivision, Branch NABB BR, at milepost B 0041.950 at Charlestown, 
Ind., roughly southward for 4,980 feet to the north end of the wye 
track (proximate to Patrol Road), a distance of approximately 0.943 
miles in Clark County, Ind. (the Line).
    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice 
of exemption in OmniTRAX Holdings Combined, Inc.--Continuance in 
Control Exemption--Omni River Ridge, LLC d/b/a River Ridge Railroad, 
Docket No. FD 36626, in which OmniTRAX and HGS Railway Holdings seek to 
continue in control of RRR upon RRR's becoming a Class III rail 
carrier.
    According to the verified notice, the Line was historically used 
for non-common carrier railroad purposes. RRR states that it has 
acquired the title to the assets that comprise the Line and seeks Board 
authorization to initiate railroad common carrier operations over the 
Line.
    RRR 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. RRR certifies that its projected 
annual revenue will not exceed $5 million and that the proposed 
transaction will not result in RRR's becoming a Class I or II rail 
carrier.
    The earliest this transaction may be consummated is July 29, 2022, 
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)

[[Page 42538]]

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 July 22, 2022.
    All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 36625, must be filed with 
the Surface Transportation Board 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 RRR's 
representative, Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North 
Wacker Drive, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60606-3208.
    According to RRR, 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: July 12, 2022.

    By the Board, Mai T. Dinh, Director, Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.
