[STB Finance Docket No. 35152] 

Arkansas Midland Railroad Company, 

Inc.—Operation Exemption—in 

Jacksonville, AR 

Arkansas Midland Railroad Company, 

Inc. (AKMD),1 a Class III rail carrier, has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1150.41 to operate 

approximately 2.6 miles of rail line in 

Jacksonville, AR (the Jacksonville 

Industrial Spur), extending from the 

wye track connections with Union 

Pacific Railroad Company’s (UP) Little 

Rock-Poplar Bluff main line near South 

James Street to General Samuels Road 

near the south side of the Little Rock Air 

Force Base. The Jacksonville Industrial 

Spur is owned by the City of 

Jacksonville (City) and is currently 

operated by UP as exempt spur trackage. 

AKMD and the City have entered into a 

lease agreement providing for AKMD’s 

lease of, and provision of rail service on, 

the line. UP’s exempt switching 

operations will terminate upon AKMD’s 

initiation of service. 

AKMD certifies that its projected 

revenues as a result of the transaction 

will not result in the creation of a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier. Because the 

projected annual revenues of the line, 

together with AKMD’s projected annual 

revenue, will exceed $5 million, AKMD 

certified on July 3, 2008, that on that 

date it served the national offices of the 

labor unions with employees on the line 

with a copy of a notice of its intent to 

undertake this transaction, and posted 

such notice on July 3, 2008, at the 

workplace of the employees on the 

affected line. 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 

(2007), nothing in this decision 

authorizes the following activities at any 

solid waste rail transfer facility: 

Collecting, storing or transferring solid 

waste outside of its original shipping 

container; or separating or processing 

solid waste (including baling, crushing, 

compacting and shredding). The term 

‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 

U.S.C. 6903. 

The transaction is expected to be 

consummated on October 1, 2008. 

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. 

Petitions for stay must be filed no later 

than September 19, 2008. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35152, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423– 

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on Thomas J. 

Litwiler, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 

920, Chicago, IL 60606–2832.

Decided: September 9, 2008. 

By the Board, David M. Konschnik, 

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Acting Secretary.
