[Docket No. AB 290 (Sub-No. 370X)] 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company— 

Discontinuance of Service 

Exemption—in Clermont, Brown and 

Adams Counties, Ohio 

On September 30, 2014, Norfolk 

Southern Railway Company (NSR) filed 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

(Board) a petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 

for exemption from the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 10903 to discontinue rail service 

over approximately 40.7 miles of rail 

line between milepost CT 32.83 at 

Williamsburg and milepost CT 73.50 at 

Plum Run in Clermont, Brown and 

Adams Counties, Ohio. 

NSR states that the line includes the 

stations of Eastwood, Mt. Oreb, 

Sardinia, Mowrystown, Macon, 

Winchester, Seaman, Lawshe, Peebles, 

and Plum Run, all of which will be 

discontinued. Williamsburg is currently 

a station on the line, however, it will 

not be discontinued because NSR’s 

Clare (Cincinnati)—Williamsburg, Ohio 

segment immediately to the west of and 

contiguous with the subject line is 

currently operated by CCET, LLC. 

(CCET).1 The line traverses U.S. Postal 

Service Zip Codes 45154, 45171, 45176, 

45660, 45679, and 45697. 

NSR states that the line does not 

contain any federally granted rights-ofway. Any documentation in NSR’s 

possession will be made available 

promptly to those requesting it. 

The interest of railroad employees 

will be protected by the conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad– 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 

91 (1979).

is instituting an exemption proceeding 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final
