Finger Lakes Railway Corp.
Continuance in Control Exemption Midcoast Railservice, Inc.
Finger Lakes Railway Corp. FGLK, a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR
1180.2d2 to continue in control of Midcoast Railservice, Inc. Midcoast, a noncarrier, upon Midcoasts becoming a rail carrier.
This transaction is related to a verified notice of exemption filed concurrently in Midcoast Railservice, Inc.Change of Operators Exemption Central Maine & Quebec Railway, Docket No. FD 36531, in which Midcoast seeks to assume operations over approximately 58.68 miles of rail line currently operated by Central Maine & Quebec Railway US, Inc., in Cumberland, Knox, Lincoln, and Sagadahoc Counties, Me.
The transaction may be consummated on or after September 8, 2021, the effective date of the exemption 30 days after the verified notice was filed.
According to the verified notice of exemption, FGLK currently controls the Ontario Central Railroad Corp., a Class III carrier operating solely in the state of New York.1
FGLK represents that: 1 The rail line to be leased and operated by Midcoast
does not connect with the rail lines of any of the rail carriers in FGLKs corporate family; 2 the transaction is not part of a series of anticipated transactions that would connect the line to be operated by Midcoast with the rail lines of any carriers in FGLKs corporate family; and 3 the transaction does not involve a Class I rail carrier. The proposed transaction is therefore exempt from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323
pursuant to 49 CFR 1180.2d2.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502g, the Board may not use its exemption authority to relieve a rail carrier of its statutory obligation to protect the interests of its employees. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326c does not provide for labor protection for transactions under 49 U.S.C. 11324 and 11325 that involve only Class III rail carriers. Because this transaction involves Class III rail carriers only, the Board, under the statute, may not impose labor protective conditions for this transaction.
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. 10502d 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 September 1, 2021
at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective.
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36532, should be filed with the Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Boards website. In addition, one copy of each pleading must be served on FGLKs representative, Eric M. Hocky, Clark Hill PLC, Two Commerce Square, 2001
Market St., Suite 2620, Philadelphia, PA
19103.
According to FGLK, this action is categorically excluded from environmental review under 49 CFR
1105.6c and from historic reporting requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8b.
Board decisions and notices are available at www.stb.gov.
Decided: August 20, 2021.
By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting Director, Office of Proceedings.
Aretha Laws-Byrum, Clearance Clerk.

Docket No. FD 36531

Midcoast Railservice, Inc.Change of Operators ExemptionCentral Maine & Quebec Railway US, Inc.
Midcoast Railservice, Inc. Midcoast, a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR
1150.31a3 to assume operations over approximately 58.68 miles of rail line the Line currently operated by Central Maine & Quebec Railway US, Inc.
CMQ, pursuant to a Lease and Operating Agreement the Agreement between the owner of the Line, the State of Maine Department of Transportation Maine DOT, and CMQ. The Line consists of: 1 The Brunswick Terminal Area between the east side of Church Road, milepost 14.97, and Rock Jct., milepost 16.40; 2 the Rockland Branch between milepost 29.40 in Brunswick, Cumberland County, Me., and milepost 85.55 in Rockland, Knox County, Me.;
and 3 the Atlantic Branch Line between milepost 85.55 and milepost 86.65 in Rockland. The Line runs through Cumberland, Knox, Lincoln, and Sagadahoc Counties, Me.1
This transaction is related to a verified notice of exemption filed concurrently in Finger Lakes Railway Continuance in Control Exemption Midcoast Railservice, Inc., Docket No.
FD 36532, in which Finger Lakes Railway Corp. seeks to continue in control of Midcoast upon Midcoasts becoming a rail carrier.
According to the verified notice, an Assignment, Assumption and Consent Agreement the Assignment has been executed by Midcoast and CMQ and consented to by Maine DOT. Under the Assignment, CMQ is assigning its rights under the Agreement, and its associated common carrier service rights to operate the Line, to Midcoast. Midcoast will assume the Agreement and become the operator of the Line. Upon commencement of operations, Midcoast will become a Class III common carrier.
According to Midcoast, the Agreement does not impose or include an interchange commitment. Midcoast certifies that its projected revenues as a result of the transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail 1 Midcoast notes that the mileposts and mileage differ slightly from those shown by CMQ when it took over operations of the Line in 2015. See Cent.
Me. & Quebec Ry.Lease & Operate Exemption State of Me., FD 35975 STB served Dec. 4, 2015.
Midcoast believes the discrepancies relate to CMQs use of control points, rounding, and typographical errors. Midcoast states that it will assume the operations of all of the lines operated by CMQ
pursuant to the Agreement.
