Indiana Eastern Railroad, LLC--Lease and Operation Exemption--CSX
Transportation, Inc.
Indiana Eastern Railroad, LLC (IERR), a Class III carrier, has
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 for an
extension of its lease from CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), for
operation of a 43-mile rail line between milepost CI 61.9 at or near
Richmond, Ind., and milepost CI 18.9 at or near Fernald, Ohio, in
Wayne, Union, and Franklin Counties, Ind., and Butler and Hamilton
Counties, Ohio (the Line).\1\ The verified notice states that IERR and
CSXT have agreed to extend the expiration date of their lease from
August 25, 2025, to May 6, 2029. IERR will continue to operate the Line
and CSXT will remain as owner of the Line.

Line. Ind. E. R.R.--Lease & Operation Exemption--CSX Transp., Inc.,
FD 34727 (STB served Aug. 19, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IERR certifies that the projected annual rail revenues of IERR 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 a
Class I rail carrier. IERR states that the proposed transaction does
not involve an interchange commitment.
The earliest this transaction may be consummated is June 14, 2019,
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 to stay must be filed no later than June 7, 2019
(at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 36305, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board either via e-filing or in writing
addressed to 395 E
