CSX Transportation, Inc.—Trackage

Rights Exemption—East Cooper and

Berkeley Railroad Company

CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) has

filed a verified notice under 49 CFR

1180.2(d)(7) to acquire overhead

trackage rights from East Cooper and

Berkeley Railroad (ECBR) between

milepost 0.00 at State Junction, SC, to

milepost 14.8 thence over newly

constructed trackage 2 for a distance of

approximately 2.2 miles to the property

line of Nucor Corporation (Nucor), for a

total distance of approximately 17 miles

in Berkeley County, SC.

The trackage rights became effective

on May 2, 1996.

The notice states that the CSXT’s use

of the ECBR track will enable CSXT to

provide direct linehaul service to Nucor

and any satellite industries that might

be constructed adjacent to the Nucor

mill. This direct access will enable

CSXT to offer intermodal competition

for shipments to and from the Nucor

mill and any satellite industries.

As a condition to this exemption, any

employees affected by the trackage

rights will be protected by the

conditions imposed in Norfolk and

Western Ry. Co.—Trackage Rights—BN,

354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in

Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—Lease and

Operate, 354 I.C.C. 732 (1978) and 360

I.C.C. 653 (1980).

If the 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.

Any pleadings must be filed with the

Surface Transportation Board, Office of

the Secretary, Case Control Branch,

1201 Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20423 and served on:

John W. Humes, Jr., Senior Counsel,

San Joaquin Valley Railroad Co.—

Corporate Family Transaction

Exemption—Port Railroads, Inc.

San Joaquin Valley Railroad Co.

(SJVR) and Port Railroads, Inc. (PRI),

common carriers by railroad,2 have

jointly filed a verified notice of

exemption whereby SJVR will acquire

by assignment of lease 3 all of the

railroad properties which PRI acquired

by lease from Southern Pacific.4

The transaction was expected to be

consummated on April 24, 1996.

The unification of SJVR and PRI’s

railroad operations will permit the

consolidation of their separately

maintained books and records, the

elimination of duplicating

administrative costs and the

achievement otherwise of greater

efficiencies and economies in the

rendition of the railroads’ transportation

services.

This is a transaction within a

corporate family of the type specifically

exempted from prior review and

approval under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3).

The parties state that the transaction

will not result in significant changes in

railroad operations. In addition, while

the parties do not specifically say it, the

transaction would apparently not result

in a change in the competitive balance

with carriers outside the corporate

family.

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board

may not use its exemption authority to

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory

obligation to protect the interests of its

employees. Section 11326(c), however,

does not provide for labor protection for

transactions under sections 11324 and

11325 that involve only Class III rail

carriers. Because this transaction

involves Class III rail carriers only, the

Board, under the statute, may not

impose labor protective conditions for

this transaction.

If the verified notice contains false or

misleading information, the exemption

is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the

proceeding to revoke the exemption

under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed

at any time. The filing of a petition to

reopen will not automatically stay the

transaction.

An original and 10 copies of all

pleadings, referring to STB Finance

Docket No. 32906, must be filed with

the Surface Transportation Board, Office

of the Secretary, Case Control Branch,

1201 Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20423. In addition, a

copy of each pleading must be served on

Fritz R. Kahn, Esq., Suite 750 West,

1100 New York Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20005–3934.
