Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 28, 2005 / Notices 56769 

1According to MMRR, the labor notice provided 

pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.42(e) indicated that the 

milepost at the end of the line in Fremont was CGD 

19.6. MMRR has been advised by CSXT that 

milepost CGD 19.6 is used to signify the end of the 

line for operating purposes, but that the end of the 

line is actually milepost CGD 19.98. Therefore, 

MMRR and CSXT have amended all of their 

agreements to reflect the milepost for the end of the 

line in Fremont as CGD 19.98. MMRR states that the 

intent of the parties has always been that the lease 

extend to the end of the line and therefore no 

additional CSXT employees will be affected by the 

change of milepost. 

2MMRR indicates that an agreement will be 

reached between it and CSXT prior to 

consummation. 

1A redacted version of the trackage rights 

agreement between NSR and N&BE was filed with 

the notice of exemption. The full version of the 

agreement, as required by 49 CFR 1180.6(a)(7)(ii), 

was concurrently filed under seal along with a 

motion for protective order. A protective order was 

served on September 21, 2005.

Mid-Michigan Railroad, Inc.—Lease 

and Operation Exemption—CSX 

Transportation, Inc. 

The Mid-Michigan Railroad, Inc. 

(MMRR), a Class III rail carrier, has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41, et seq., to lease from CSX 

Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) and operate 

about 48 miles of railroad between: (1) 

Milepost CGC 34.5, in West Olive, MI, 

and milepost CGC 62.1, in Berry Station, 

MI; and (2) milepost CGD 0.0, in Berry 

Station, and milepost CGD 19.98,1 in 

Fremont, MI.2

MMRR certifies that its projected 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not result in the creation of a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier. Because 

MMRR’s projected annual revenues will 

exceed $5 million, MMRR has certified 

to the Board on July 8, 2005, that the 

required notice of the transaction was 

posted at the workplace of the 

employees on the affected line on July 

8, 2005, and was sent to the national 

offices of the labor unions representing 

employees on the line. See 49 CFR 

1150.42(e). 

The transaction was scheduled to be 

consummated on September 9, 2005, the 

effective date of the exemption (which 

is more than 60 days after MMRR’s 

certification to the Board that it had 

complied with the Board’s rule at 49 

CFR 1150.42(e)). 

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 transaction. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 34725, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 1925 

K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423–
