INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32391]

 

Wallkill Valley Railroad, Inc.--Exemption To Lease and Operate in 
Ulster County, NY

    The Commission's Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) hereby 
notifies all interested parties in this proceeding that SEA has 
prepared and made available an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
proceeding referenced above.
    The Wallkill Valley Railroad Company (Wallkill), a noncarrier, 
filed a notice of exemption to operate a 400-foot segment of rail line 
and 400-foot side track between milepost 0.40 and milepost 0.40+400 at 
Kingston, NY. The segment is part of the 10.94-mile Wallkill Branch 
between milepost 0.40 at Kingston and milepost 11.34 at New Paltz, NY, 
that Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) was authorized to abandon 
in Docket No. AB-167 (Sub-No. 59N), Consolidated Rail Corporation--
Abandonment Between Kingston and New Paltz, NY. In 1986, Wallkill's 
president, John E. Rahl, acquired the line from Conrail. Mr. Rahl now 
proposes to lease the entire 10.94 mile line to Wallkill.
    This environmental assessment is limited to Wallkill's proposed 
acquisition and operation of the 400-foot segment and parallel siding. 
Wallkill states that it plans to reactivate 400-feet of the 10.94 mile 
mainline and an 400-foot side track to provide freight service in the 
southern portion of the City of Kingston.
    The EA will be available on April 20, 1994. There will be a 30 day 
comment period. Comments on the EA are due May 20, 1994. To obtain 
copies of the EA contact Judith Groves at (202) 927-6245 or Phillis
