[Docket No. FD 35761]


Ferroequus Railway Company Limited and Railstuff, LLC--Lease and 
Operation Exemption--City of Tacoma, d/b/a Tacoma Rail Mountain 
Division

    Ferroequus Railway Company Limited, a noncarrier, and railstuff, 
LLC, a noncarrier (collectively, applicants), have filed a verified 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from the City of 
Tacoma, d/b/a Tacoma Rail Mountain Division (TRMD), and to operate, 
pursuant to a lease agreement dated August 5, 2013, an approximately 
0.5-mile line of railroad between milepost 67.3 and the end of the 
track at Morton, in Lewis County, Wash.
    According to applicants, the lease does not contain any provision 
that prohibits or restricts any interchange of traffic with any 
carrier. Applicants state that the line connects with a TRMD line over 
which TMRD provides common carrier service between Morton and Tacoma, 
Wash.
    The parties intend to consummate the proposed transaction 
immediately after October 6, 2013, the effective date of this exemption 
(30 days after the exemption was filed).
    Applicants certify that their projected annual revenues as a result 
of this transaction will not result in their becoming Class I or Class 
II rail carriers and will not exceed $5 million.
    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 to stay must be filed by September 27, 2013 (at 
least seven days prior to the date the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and ten copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket 
No. FD 35761, 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 applicants' representative, Thomas Payne, 
410 Garfield Street, Tacoma, WA 98444.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at 
``www.stb.dot.gov.''

    Decided: September 17, 2013.
    By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Jeffrey Herzig,
Clearance Clerk.
