[Docket No. AB 290 (Sub-No. 350X)] 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company— 

Abandonment and Discontinuance of 

Service Exemption—in Essex County, 

N.J. 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company 

(NSR) has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR part 1152 

subpart F—Exempt Abandonments and 

Discontinuance of Service for NSR to 

abandon and discontinue service over 

approximately 2.0 miles of rail line as 

follows: NSR will abandon 0.71 miles of 

rail line between milepost 8.50 OJ and 

milepost 8.616 OJ and between milepost 

9.905 OJ and milepost 10.50 OJ; and 

NSR will discontinue service over a 

1.29-mile operating easement over a 

New Jersey Transit (NJT) line from 

milepost 8.616 OJ to milepost 9.905.OJ, 

all located in Essex County, N.J. (the 

Line).1 The Line traverses United States 

Postal Service Zip Codes 07003, 07109, 

07104 and 07107. 

NSR has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the Line for at 

least two years; (2) no overhead traffic 

has moved over the Line for at least two 

years and that overhead traffic, if there 

were any, could be rerouted over other 

lines; (3) no formal complaint has been 

filed by a user of rail service on the Line 

(or by a state or local government entity 

acting on behalf of such user) regarding 

cessation of service over the Line, and 

no such complaint is either pending 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

(Board) or with any U.S. District Court 

or has been decided in favor of a 

complainant within the two-year period; 

and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 

1105.7(c) (environmental report), 49 

CFR 1105.11 (transmittal letter), 49 CFR 

1105.12 (newspaper publication), and 

49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to 

governmental agencies) have been met. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment or discontinuance shall be 

protected under Oregon Short Line 

Railroad—Abandonment Portion 

Goshen Branch Between Firth & 

Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville 

Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). To 

address whether this condition 

adequately protects affected employees, 

a petition for partial revocation under 

49 U.S.C. 10502(d) must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on 

December 27, 2014, unless stayed 

pending reconsideration. Petitions to 

stay that do not involve environmental

representative: William A. Mullins, 

Baker & Miller PLLC, 2401 Pennsylvania 

Ave. NW., Suite 300, Washington, DC 

20037. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

NSR has filed a combined 

environmental and historic report that 

addresses the effects, if any, of the 

abandonment and discontinuance on 

the environment and historic resources. 

OEA will issue an environmental 

assessment (EA) by December 2, 2014. 

Interested persons may obtain a copy of 

the EA by writing to OEA (Room 1100,
