SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 36151]


Foxville and Northern Railroad Company LLC--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Badin Business Park, LLC

    Foxville and Northern Railroad Company LLC (FN), a noncarrier, 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from 
Badin Business Park LLC (BBP) \1\ and operate approximately 11.11 miles 
of rail line from milepost WF-0.0 in Halls Ferry Junction, to milepost 
WF-11.11 in Badin, all in Stanly County, N.C. (the Line). FN and 
Winston Salem Southbound Railroad (WSSB) will interchange traffic at 
milepost WF-5.90 in Whitney.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ FN states that BBP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa, 
Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to FN, two agreements govern the proposed transaction: 
(i) A lease agreement; and (ii) an interchange agreement. Specifically, 
FN anticipates entering into a lease agreement with BBP on or about 
August 1, 2018, and an interchange agreement with WSSB upon obtaining 
operating authority.
    FN certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of the 
transaction will not result in its becoming a Class II or Class I rail 
carrier and will not exceed $5 million. FN also certifies that the 
transaction involves no provision or agreement that may limit future 
interchange with other carriers under 49 CFR 1150.33(h).
    The transaction may be consummated on or after August 23, 2018, the 
effective date of the exemption (30 days after the verified notice of 
exemption 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 August 16, 
2018 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 36151, 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 John E. Elkin, President and General 
Manager, Foxville and Northern Railroad Co. LLC., P.O. Box 577, Pelion, 
SC 29123.
    According to FN, this action does not require environmental review 
under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) or historic reporting under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).
    Board decisions and notices are available on our website at

    Decided: August 6, 2018.

    By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Jeffrey Herzig,
Clearance Clerk.
