[Docket No. FD 35893]


Pennsylvania & Southern Railway, LLC--Operation Exemption--
Franklin County General Authority

    Pennsylvania & Southern Railway, LLC (PSCC), a Class III carrier, 
has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to 
acquire extended operating rights over approximately 25 miles of track 
and associated right-of-way within the Cumberland Valley Business Park 
and the Letterkenny Army Depot near Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pa. 
(the Rail Lines), pursuant to an amended agreement between PSCC and the 
Franklin County General Authority (FCGA).
    PSCC states that it currently operates over the Rail Lines pursuant 
to an operation exemption issued in Pennsylvania & Southern Railway--
Operation Exemption--Franklin County General Authority, FD 34461 (STB 
served Feb. 12, 2004). PSCC and FCGA have entered into an amended rail 
operating agreement that extends the term of the current agreement 
until October 31, 2039, and makes other minor changes to the existing 
agreement. PSCC states that the amended terms will promote stability 
for the rail operations and justify further investment in the 
operations.
    PSCC also states that it will continue to interchange with CSXT and 
certifies that no interchange commitments will be required as part of 
this transaction.
    PSCC certifies that its projected revenues as a result of the 
transaction will not result in the creation of a Class I or Class II 
rail carrier.
    PSCC states that it intends to begin operations under the amended 
rail operating agreement on or after the effective date of the 
exemption, which is January 22, 2015 (30 days after the verified notice 
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. Petitions to stay must be filed no later than January 15, 
2015 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and ten copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket 
No. FD 35893, 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 Eric M. Hocky, Clark Hill PLC, One Commerce 
Square, 2005 Market Street, Suite 1000, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

    Decided: January 5, 2015.
    By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Jeffrey Herzig,
Clearance Clerk.
