Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35869] 

Delaware Lackawaxen & Stourbridge 

Railroad Company—Operation 

Exemption—Stourbridge Railroad 

Company 

Delaware Lackawaxen & Stourbridge 

Railroad Company (DL&S), a noncarrier, 

has filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1150.31 to operate a 

24.80-mile rail line between milepost 

0.0 at Lackawaxen, in Pike County, Pa., 

and milepost 24.80 at Honesdale, in 

Wayne County, Pa. (the Line), pursuant 

to an operating agreement with Class III 

rail carrier Stourbridge Railroad 

Company (SBRR), the owner of the Line. 

DL&S states that the agreement 

provides that DL&S will be the 

exclusive common carrier freight and 

passenger operator on the Line. DL&S 

also states that there will be no 

restrictions or limitations with regard to 

the interchange of freight traffic. DL&S 

notes that it will interchange with the 

Central New York Railroad Company at 

milepost 0.0 at Lackawaxen. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on November 26, 2014, the effective 

date of the exemption (30 days after the 

exemption was filed). 

DL&S certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction will not exceed those that 

would qualify it as a Class III carrier and 

will not exceed $5 million. DL&S also 

certifies that this transaction will not 

result in the creation of a Class I or Class 

II rail carrier. 

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. Stay petitions must be 

filed by November 19, 2014 (at least 

seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective).
