3The Commission will accept a late-filed trail use

request as long as it retains jurisdiction to do so.

4The Gateway Trailnet, Inc. seeks issuance of a

notice of interim trail use/railbanking (NITU) under

16 U.S.C. 1247(d) and a 180-day public use

condition under 49 U.S.C. 10906. A copy of the

Maybrook Properties, Inc.—Acquisition and

Operation Exemption—Consolidated Rail

Corporation, Finance Docket No. 32180 (Sub-No. 1)

(ICC served Dec. 29, 1992), DTRR obtained

operating and freight rights over the Harlem Line,

between milepost 22.0, in White Plains and

milepost 81.6, in Wassaic. Following the proposed

discontinuance, DTRR will continue to operate

between mileposts 43.4 and 55.2.

2The Commission’s Section of Environmental

Analysis will not conduct an independent

investigation because no environmental effects are

expected in cases where service on the line will

continue. A stay will be issued routinely by the

Commission if an informed decision on

environmental issues raised by a party cannot be

made before the effective date of the notice of

exemption. See Exemption of Out-of-Service Rail

Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any entity seeking a

stay on environmental concerns is encouraged to

file its request as soon as possible in order to permit

this Commission to review and act on the request

Danbury Terminal Railroad Company—

Discontinuance Exemption

—Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess

Counties, NY

Danbury Terminal Railroad Company

(DTRR) has filed a notice of exemption

under 49 CFR Part 1152 Subpart F—

Exempt Abandonments and

Discontinuances of Service and

Trackage Rights to discontinue trackage

rights over two segments of the rail line

known as the Harlem Line. The first line

segment is located between milepost

55.2, in Dykemans, and milepost 81.6,

in Wassaic, a distance of approximately

26.4 miles in Dutchess and Putnam

Counties, NY. The second line segment

is located between milepost 22.0, in

White Plains, and milepost 43.4, in

Golden’s Bridge, a distance of

approximately 21.4 miles in

Westchester County, NY.

The Harlem Line, except between

mileposts 77.0 and 81.1, is owned by

American Premier Underwriters, Inc., a

noncarrier, and leased by the

Metropolitan Transportation Authority

(MTA). MTA’s subsidiary, Metro North

Commuter Railroad Company (MNCR)

provides commuter passenger rail

service over the entire Harlem Line,

except between milepost 77.0 and

milepost 81.1. That portion is owned by

the New York and Harlem Railroad

Company and is the subject of

acquisition negotiations with MNCR,

which, when completed, will enable

MNCR to extend its commuter

passenger service to Wassaic. In

addition, Consolidated Rail Corporation

(Conrail) provides freight service over

the line under an unspecified operating

arrangement with the owners and

lessee. DTRR acquired the rights at issue

here from Conrail.1 Thus, freight and

passenger service will still be provided

after the discontinuance.

DTRR has certified that: (1) No local

traffic has moved pursuant to the

trackage rights operation over the line

for at least 2 years; (2) there is no

overhead traffic on the line; (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

Commission or with any U.S. District

Court or has been decided in favor of

the complainant within the 2-year

period; and (4) the requirements at 49

CFR 1105.7 (environmental report), 49

CFR 1105.8 (historic report), 49 CFR

1105.11 (transmittal letter), 49 CFR

1105.12 (newspaper publication) and 49

CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to

governmental agencies) have been met.

As a condition to use of this

exemption, any employee adversely

affected by the discontinuance shall be

protected under Oregon Short Line R.

Co.—Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C.

91 (1979). To address whether this

condition adequately protects affected

employees, a petition for partial

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d)

must be filed.

Provided no formal expression of

intent to file an offer of financial

assistance (OFA) to subsidize continued

operations has been received, this

exemption will be effective on May 5,

1995, unless stayed pending

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do

not involve environmental issues 2 and

formal expressions of intent to file an

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) 3 must

be filed by April 17, 1995. Petitions to

reopen must be filed by April 25, 1995,

with: Office of the Secretary, Case

Control Branch, Interstate Commerce

Commission, Washington, DC 20423.

A copy of any petition filed with the

Commission should be sent to

applicant’s representative: Robert A.

Wimbish, Suite 420, 1920 N Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.

If the notice of exemption contains

false or misleading information, the

exemption is void ab initio.

Decided: March 31, 1995.

Acting Director, Office of Proceedings.
