[STB Finance Docket No. 34986]


Ashland Railroad, Inc.--Lease and Operation Exemption--Rail Line 
in Monmouth County, NJ

    Ashland Railroad, Inc. (ASRR), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease and operate 
approximately 1.5 miles of rail line owned by Grems-Kirk Railway, LLC, 
a noncarrier, in the Township of Freehold, in Monmouth County, NJ. ASRR 
will provide common carrier rail operations over the line and 
interchange with Consolidated Rail Corporation at Freehold on behalf of 
CSX Transportation, Inc. and Norfolk Southern Railway Company.
    This transaction is related to the concurrently filed notice of 
exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 34987, G. David Crane--Continuance 
in Control Exemption--Ashland Railroad, Inc., wherein G. David Crane 
seeks to continue in control of ASRR upon its becoming a Class III rail 
carrier.
    ASRR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class 
III rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million. The earliest this 
transaction may be consummated is the March 1, 2007 effective date of 
the exemption (30 days after the exemption was filed).
    If the 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. 
Petitions for stay must be filed no later than February 22, 2007 (at 
least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34986, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a 
copy of each pleading must be served on John K. Fiorilla, Capehart & 
Scatchard, P.A., 8000 Midlantic Drive, Suite 300S, Mt. Laurel, NJ 
08054.

    Decided: February 6, 2007.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
