[STB Finance Docket No. 34446]


Bay Colony Railroad Corporation--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--CSX Transportation, Inc., as Operator for New York Central 
Lines, LLC

    Bay Colony Railroad Corporation (BCLR), a Class III rail carrier, 
has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 et seq. 
to acquire from CSX Transportation, Inc., as operator for New York 
Central Lines, LLC (CSXT), and operate approximately 5.92 miles of rail 
line between milepost QND 0.08 and milepost QND 6.00, in Bristol 
County, MA.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ BCLR is purchasing the assets comprising the line, and is 
leasing the underlying real property from CSXT.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BCLR certifies that its projected revenues as a result of this 
transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I 
rail carrier. BCLR further certifies that its total annual revenues 
after the transaction will not exceed $5 million. BCLR expected to 
commence operation of the line on or about January 1, 2004.
    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 transaction.

Finance Docket No. 34446, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
