[Docket No. FD 35454]


Big Four Terminal Railroad, LLC--Operation Exemption--RMW 
Ventures, LLC

    Big Four Terminal Railroad, LLC (BFTR), has filed a verified notice 
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to operate over 5.2 +/- miles of rail 
line between milepost 0.0 in Connorsville, Ind. and milepost 5.2 +/- in 
Beesons, Ind., in Fayette and Wayne Counties, Ind. BFTR states that it 
has entered into an agreement dated December 1, 2010, with RMW 
Ventures, LLC (RMW), the current owner of the line, to provide rail 
service upon obtaining Board authorization and that it will replace 
C&NC Railroad Corporation (C&NC) as the operator of the line.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ C&NC obtained authority to lease and operate the line in 
C&NC Railroad Corp.--Lease and Operation Exemption--Lines of the 
Norfolk and Western Railway Corp. and Indiana Hi Rail Corp, FD 33475 
(STB Served Oct. 31, 1997). C&NC will continue to have a common 
carrier obligation to operate the line until such time as 
appropriate discontinuance authority is sought and granted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BFTR states that its operating agreement with RMW does not contain 
any interchange commitments and that its interchange agreements with 
its connecting carriers will not contain any interchange commitments 
either. BFTR certifies that the projected annual revenues as a result 
of the proposed transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it 
as a Class III carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
    BFTR states that consummation of the transaction will occur on or 
after the effective date of the exemption, which is January 15, 2011 
(30 days after the exemption was filed).
    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. Stay petitions must be filed no later than January 7, 2011 
(at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35454, 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 Richard R. Wilson, Esq., Richard R. Wilson, 
P.C., 518 N. Center Street, Suite 1, Ebensburg, PA 15931.
