SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 36565]


LVR Railroad LLC--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--
Landisville Railroad, LLC

    LVR Railroad LLC (LVR), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice 
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Landisville Railroad, 
LLC (Landisville), and operate a rail line located between 
approximately milepost 30.77, at the connection with Norfolk Southern 
Railway Company on the Harrisburg Line, owned by National Railroad 
Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), and approximately milepost 32.69, at 
the end of the track, north of Stony Battery Road, in West Hempfield, 
Lancaster County, Pa. (the Line).
    The verified notice states that LVR and Landisville will shortly 
execute a purchase agreement under which LVR will purchase the Line 
from Landisville. LVR states that it intends to provide common carrier 
service over the Line upon consummation of the proposed transaction.

    LVR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not exceed the maximum revenue of a Class III 
rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million. LVR also certifies that 
the subject agreements do not contain any provisions that would limit 
LVR's future interchange of traffic on the Line with a third-party 
connecting carrier.
    The earliest this transaction may be consummated is January 7, 
2022, the effective date of the exemption (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 December 30, 
2021 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 36565, should be filed 
with the Surface Transportation Board via e-filing on the Board's 
website. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be served on LVR's 
representative, Audrey L. Brodrick, Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North 
Wacker Drive, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60606.
    According to LVR, this action is categorically excluded from 
environmental review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and from historic 
preservation reporting requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).
    Board decisions and notices are available at www.stb.gov.

    Decided: December 20, 2021.

    By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
