1Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,300. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 

2Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and 

not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and 

public use conditions are not appropriate. Likewise, 

no environmental or historical documentation is 

required here under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and 

1105.8(b), respectively.

Norfolk Southern Railway Company

subpart F—Exempt Abandonments and 

Discontinuances of Service to 

discontinue service over a 7.70 mile line 

of railroad between milepost PX 3.10 

and milepost PX 10.80 in Phoenixville, 

Chester County, PA. The line traverses 

United States Postal Service Zip Codes 

19453 and 19460, and includes the 

stations of Phoenixville, Pickering, and 

Devault. 

NSR has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) that all overhead traffic, 

if any, has been rerouted over other 

lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by 

a user of rail service on the line (or by 

a state or local government entity acting 

on behalf of such user) regarding 

cessation of service over the line either 

is pending with the Board or with any 

U.S. District Court or has been decided 

in favor of complainant within the 2- 

year period; and (4) the requirements at 

49 CFR 1105.12 (newspaper 

publication), and 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1)

any employee adversely affected by the 

discontinuance of service shall be 

protected under Oregon Short Line R.

condition adequately protects affected 

employees, a petition for partial 

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this

pending reconsideration. Petitions to 

stay that do not involve environmental 

issues and formal expressions of intent 

to file an OFA for continued rail service 

under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),1 must be 

filed by November 19, 2007.2 Petitions 

to reopen must be filed by November 27, 

2007, with: Surface Transportation 

Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington,
