INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32744]
Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway Company, Inc. Modified
Certificate
On July 6, 1995, Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway Company, Inc.,
(TSBY) filed a notice for a modified certificate of public convenience
and necessity under 49 CFR Part 1150, Subpart C, to operate 123.7 miles
of rail line as follows: (1) A 122.5-mile portion of United States
Railroad Administration (USRA) Line No. 1301 extending between milepost
147.5 at Alma, MI, and milepost 270 at Thompsonville, MI; and (2) a
1.2-mile portion of USRA Line No. 1302 extending between milepost 270
at Thompsonville, MI, and milepost 271.2 west of Thompsonville, MI.
These rail lines are owned by the State of Michigan (Michigan).
They were not included in the final system plan at the time the
Consolidated Rail Corporation was formed, and as such, were authorized
to be abandoned without further Commission approval pursuant to the
Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976.
The lines involved here are part of the northern segment of the
former Ann Arbor line extending from Ann Arbor, MI, to Frankfort, MI.
The Michigan Interstate Railway Company operated the line as Michigan's
Designated Operator until 1982. See Certificate of Designated Operator
Michigan Interstate Railway Company, D-OP 20 (USRA Line Nos. 445A, 1300
1301, 1302, and 1303-AA) (ICC served Sept. 30, 1977), and Certificate
of Designated Operator Michigan Interstate Railway Company, D-OP 49
(USRA Line Nos. 445A, 1300, 1301, 1302, and 1303-AA) (ICC served July
28, 1982). At that time, Michigan terminated its Designated Operator
agreement with Michigan Interstate Railway Company and designated
Michigan Northern Railway Company to operate the line from Alma to
Frankfort. See Certificate of Designated Operator Michigan Northern
Railway Company, D-OP 52 (USRA Line Nos. 1300, and 1301-AA) (ICC served
Jan. 20, 1983). Subsequently, in 1985 Michigan designated TSBY to
replace Michigan Northern Railway Company as the Designated Operator to
operate the involved line, Certificate of Designated Operator-Tuscola
and Saginaw Railway Company, D-OP 55 (USRA Line Nos. 1301, 1302, and
1302). (ICC served Apr. 26, 1985).
The Commission will serve a copy of this notice on the Association
of American Railroads (Car Service Division), as agent for all
railroads subscribing to the car-service and car-hire agreement, and on
the American Short Line Railroad Association.
Decided: October 3, 1995.
By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
