Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks--Temporary Trackage Rights 
Exemption--Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks (TASD), a Class III switching 
and terminal carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 
CFR 1180.2(d)(8) for its acquisition of temporary overhead trackage 
rights from Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) over NSR's 3-B South 
District rail line between the connection with TASD at approximately 
milepost 146.9 MB at CN Crossing and the connection with TASD at 
approximately milepost 144.0 MB at Terminal Junction, a distance of 
approximately 2.9 miles in Mobile, Ala. (the Line).
    TASD states that, pursuant to a written Detour and Temporary 
Trackage Rights Agreement (Agreement) dated April 18, 2018,\1\ NSR has 
agreed to grant the specified temporary overhead trackage rights to 
TASD. TASD has concurrently filed a petition for waiver of the 30-day 
period under 49 CFR 1180.4(g) to allow the proposed temporary trackage 
rights to become effective immediately.\2\ TASD states that it intends 
to consummate the transaction immediately upon issuance of the Board's 
decision on its petition for waiver, if waiver is granted, or upon the 
effective date of the notice, May 27, 2018. The sole purpose of the 
trackage rights is to accommodate emergency detour operations by TASD 
over the Line while repairs are made to TASD's Viaduct Bridge. The 
temporary trackage rights will expire on October 18, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A copy of the Agreement was filed with the notice.
    \2\ The petition for waiver will be addressed in a separate 
decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

acquisition of the temporary trackage rights will be protected by the

notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void
