[STB Finance Docket No. 35217]


Stillwater Central Railroad, Inc.--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Hollis & Eastern Railroad L.L.C.

    Stillwater Central Railroad, Inc. (SLWC), a Class III carrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease and 
to operate, pursuant to a lease agreement (Agreement) entered into with 
Hollis & Eastern Railroad L.L.C. (H&E), 14 miles of H&E's rail line 
between milepost 0.0 at Duke, OK and milepost 14.0 at Altus, OK (the 
line).
    SLWC states that there is no provision or agreement that will limit 
future interchange with a third-party connecting carrier. See 49 CFR 
1150.43(h).
    SLWCS certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
the transaction will not result in SLWC becoming a Class II or Class I 
rail carrier. However, because its projected annual revenues will 
exceed $5 million, SLWC also certifies that it has complied with notice 
requirements of 49 CFR 1150.42(e).
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after 
March 6, 2010, at least 60 days after SLWC's certification of the 
notice requirements of section 49 CFR 1150.42(e).
    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. Petitions for stay must be filed no later than February 26, 
2010 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 35217, 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 Karl Morell, of Counsel, Ball 
Janik LLP, Suite 225, 1455 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at http://www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided:
    By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Andrea Pope-Matheson,
Clearance Clerk.
