SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 36196]


Delmarva Central Railroad Company--Change in Operator Exemption--
Cassatt Management, LLC d/b/a Bay Coast Railroad

    Delmarva Central Railroad Company (DCR), a Class III rail carrier, 
has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to assume 
operations over an approximately 14.8-mile rail line owned by Canonie 
Atlantic Co. (CAC) on behalf of the Accomack-Northampton Transportation 
District Commission (ANTDC) from milepost 30.9 in Pocomoke City, Md., 
to milepost 45.7 in Hallwood, Va. (the Line).
    DCR states that the Line has been operated by Cassatt Management, 
LLC d/b/a Bay Coast Railroad (BCR).\1\ DCR states that BCR has ceased 
operation of the Line and does not object to the proposed change in 
operators. DCR has concurrently filed a petition for waiver of the 30-
day period specified under 49 CFR 1150.42(b) to allow the exemption to 
become effective immediately.\2\ According to DCR, a lease and 
operation agreement providing for its common carrier service on the 
Line is being finalized and executed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Cassatt Management, LLC d/b/a Bay Coast R.R.--Lease & 
Operation Exemption--Canonie Atlantic Co. on behalf of ANTDC, FD 
34818 (STB served Feb. 6, 2006).
    \2\ The petition for waiver will be addressed in a separate 
decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DCR states that the proposed lease and operation of the Line does 
not involve any provision or agreement that would limit future 
interchange with a third-party connecting carrier. DCR certifies that 
its projected annual revenues from freight operations will not result 
in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier.
    Under 49 CFR 1150.42(b), a change in operators requires that notice 
be given to shippers. DCR certifies that it has provided notice of the 
proposed change in operator to the shippers on the Line.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ DCR certifies that on May 17, 2018, it posted notice of the 
transaction at the workplace of the then-current BCR employees on 
the Line as required under 49 CFR 1150.42(e). DCR states that BCR 
employees are not represented by any labor union. In addition to 
waiver of the 30-day effective date requirement, DCR's petition 
seeks waiver of the full 60-day labor notice requirement, in order 
for the exemption to become effective immediately. As noted above, 
the petition for waiver will be addressed in a separate decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 36196, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW, Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each 
pleading must be served on DCR's representative, Thomas J. Litwiler, 
Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 920, Chicago, IL 
60606-2832.
    According to DCR, this action is excluded from environmental review 
under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and from historic preservation reporting 
requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b)(1).
