Motive Rail, Inc. d/b/a Illinois Terminal Belt--Lease and 
Operation Exemption--Illinois Central Railroad Company

    Motive Rail, Inc. d/b/a Illinois Terminal Belt (ITB), a Class III 
railroad, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to lease from Illinois Central Railroad Company (IC) and operate 
approximately 10.7 miles of rail line from milepost 784.2 in Heyworth, 
Ill. to milepost 773.5 in Clinton, Ill. (the Line).
    ITB states that it has entered into a track lease with IC to 
provide common carrier service on the Line. According to ITB, the track 
lease between ITB and IC does not contain an interchange commitment.
    ITB certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of the 
proposed transaction will not exceed $5 million and that the 
transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I 
rail carrier.
    This transaction may be consummated on or after October 11, 2019 
(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 for stay must be filed no later than October 4, 
2019 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 36348, must be filed with 
the Surface Transportation Board either via e-filing or in writing 
addressed to 395 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a 
copy of each pleading must be served on ITB's representative: Eric M. 
Hocky, Clark Hill PLC, Two Commerce Square, 2001 Market Street, Suite 
2620, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
    According to ITB, this action is excluded from environmental review 
under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and from historic preservation reporting 
requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).
