SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 34797 (Sub-No. 1)]


New England Transrail, LLC, D/B/A Wilmington & Woburn Terminal 
Railway--Construction, Acquisition and Operation Exemption--in 
Wilmington and Woburn, Mass

    By petition filed June 24, 2016,\1\ New England Transrail, LLC 
(NET) seeks an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from the prior approval 
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10901 to acquire 5,727 feet of existing 
track, construct or rehabilitate a combined 10,838 feet of track, and 
operate as a rail carrier over the combined 16,565 feet of track on and 
adjacent to a parcel of land owned by the Olin Corporation and located 
in Wilmington and Woburn, Mass. NET states that, upon commencement of 
rail operations, it would transload a variety of commodities, 
including, for example, paper products, steel, scrap steel, wood 
products, corn syrup, and biofuels at three facilities on the site.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The petition for exemption in this proceeding is a 
resubmission of a petition for exemption previously filed in 2003 in 
New England Transrail, LLC--Construction, Acquisition, & Operation 
Exemption--in Wilmington & Woburn, Mass., Docket No. FD 34391 and a 
petition for exemption filed in 2005 in New England Transrail, LLC--
Construction, Acquisition, & Operation Exemption--in Wilmington & 
Woburn, Mass., Docket No. FD 34797.
    \2\ The materials NET plans to transload are similar to those 
identified in NET's prior petition in Docket No. FD 34797. However, 
NET states that it no longer plans to ``operate a municipal solid 
waste transfer station.'' (Pet. 9.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The petition for exemption raises issues that require consideration 
by the Board. By this decision, the Board is instituting a proceeding 
under 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). The issues presented by the petition will be 
addressed in a subsequent decision. Comments are due by November 4, 
2016.
    It is ordered:
    1. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(b), a proceeding is instituted.
    2. Comments are due by November 4, 2016.
    3. Notice of the Board's action will be published in the Federal 
Register.

    Decided: September 20, 2016.

    By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Tia Delano,
Clearance Clerk.
