DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35437] 

Georges Creek Railway, LLC— 

Operation Exemption—in Allegany 

County, MD 

Georges Creek Railway, LLC (Georges 

Creek), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

1150.31 to operate an 8.54-mile line of 

railroad between milepost BAI 27.0 near 

Morrison and milepost BAI 18.46 at the 

end of the track near Carlos, in Allegany 

County, Md., (the Line).1

This transaction is related to two 

simultaneously filed notices of 

exemption: (1) Docket No. FD 35438, 

Eighteen Thirty Group, LLC— 

Acquisition Exemption—in Allegany 

County, Md., in which Eighteen Thirty 

Group, LLC (Eighteen Thirty), seeks an 

exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to 

acquire the Line pursuant to its 

agreement with Mark J. Friedman, 

Chapter 7 Trustee of the Bankruptcy 

Estate of James Riffin; and (2) Docket 

No. FD 35436, Duncan Smith and 

Gerald Altizer—Continuance in Control 

Exemption—Eighteen Thirty Group, LLC 

and Georges Creek Railway, LLC, in 

which Duncan Smith and Gerald 

Altizer, the owners of Eighteen Thirty 

and Georges Creek, seek an exemption 

to continue in control of Eighteen Thirty 

and Georges Creek upon their becoming 

Class III rail carriers. 

This transaction is also related to a 

petition simultaneously filed by 

Eighteen Thirty in Docket No. AB 55 

(Sub-No. 659X), CSX Transportation, 

Inc.—Abandonment Exemption—in 

Allegany County, Md., seeking an 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from 

the OFA requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

10904(f)(4)(A). The latter provision 

forbids an entity that has acquired a rail 

line under the OFA process from 

transferring that line to any entity other 

than the abandoning rail carrier from 

which it was originally purchased prior 

to the end of the fifth year after 

consummation of the sale.2

Georges Creek states that it intends to 

consummate this transaction once the 

bankruptcy court approves Eighteen 

Thirty’s purchase agreement, but no 

sooner than November 18, 2010, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after this exemption was filed).3

Georges Creek 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 and will not exceed $5 million 

annually. 

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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions to stay must be 

filed no later than November 10, 2010 

(at least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to FD 35437, must 

be filed with the Surface Transportation 

Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, 

DC 20423–0001. In addition, one copy 

of each pleading must be served on John 

D. Heffner, John D. Heffner, PLLC, 1750 

K Street, NW., Suite 200, Washington, 

DC 20006.
