[Docket No. FD 35927]


Eighteen Thirty Group, LLC--Acquisition Exemption--Lines of CSX 
Transportation, Inc.

    Eighteen Thirty Group, LLC (Eighteen Thirty), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire from CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) approximately 5.4 miles 
of rail line in Allegany County, Md., consisting of: (1) Approximately 
4.8 miles of CSXT's Georges Creek Subdivision between Barton, 
approximately milepost BAI 27.0, and Westernport, approximately 
milepost BAI 31.6; and (2) approximately 0.60 miles of CSXT's Thomas 
Subdivision, namely the two tracks running parallel to the Thomas 
mainline track between approximately milepost BAH 26.2 and 
approximately milepost BAH 26.8.
    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice 
of exemption in Georges Creek Railway--Operation Exemption--Lines of 
CSX Transportation, Inc., Docket No. FD 35928, in which Georges Creek 
Railway, LLC (GCK) seeks Board approval to operate over the lines being 
acquired by Eighteen Thirty.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On May 5, 2015, Eighteen Thirty and GCK filed a joint 
amendment indicating that a milepost designation was incorrectly 
described in their respective notices of exemption. However, on May 
6, 2015, they jointly submitted a letter asking that the Board 
disregard their amendment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Eighteen Thirty certifies that: (1) Its projected annual revenues 
as a result of the transaction will not exceed $5 million and will not 
result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier; and (2) 
the Transaction Agreement between CSXT and Eighteen Thirty, which is 
dated April 10, 2015, does not contain an interchange commitment.
    The transaction may be consummated on or after May 31, 2015, the 
effective date of the exemption.
    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 May 22, 2015 
(at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35927, 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 Fritz R. Kahn, Fritz R. Kahn, P.C., 1919 M 
Street NW., 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20036.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at 
``WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.''

    Decided: May 8, 2015.

    By the Board, Joseph H. Dettmar, Acting Director, Office of 
Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.
