[STB Finance Docket No. 33658]
The New York & Ogdensburg Railway Company, Inc.--Lease and
Operation Exemption--Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority
The New York & Ogdensburg Railway Company, Inc. (NYOG), a
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR
1150.31 to lease from the Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority (OBPA) and
operate approximately 32.0 miles of rail line. The rail lines to be
leased are two connecting lines: (1) between milepost 0.0 at
Ogdensburg, NY, and milepost 25.2 at Norwood, NY; and (2) between
milepost 0.0 at Norwood, NY, and milepost 6.8+/- at Norfolk/
Raymondville, NY. NYOG will become a Class III rail
carrier.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ By this notice of exemption, NYOG and OBPA are giving
notice, under 49 CFR 1150.31(a)(3) of their mutual intent to effect
a change in operators on the subject rail lines. Common carrier
service of the rail lines is currently provided by the St. Lawrence
& Raquette River Railroad (SLRR) pursuant to Finance Docket No.
31653, St. Lawrence & Raquette River Railroad--Lease and Operation
Exemption--Lines in New York (served May 17, 1990). NYOG has
supplied evidence of SLRR's desire to terminate its operations over
the line and to facilitate transfer to a new service provider prior
to the end of September 1998.
NYOG states that its revenues will not exceed those that would
qualify it as a Class III rail carrier and its revenues are not
projected to exceed $5 million.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after
September 15, 1998.
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
[[Page 52791]]
a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the transaction.
