[STB Finance Docket No. 35338]

Winston-Salem Southbound Railway
Company—Corporate Family
Transaction Exemption—High Point,
Thomasville & Denton Railroad
Company
Winston-Salem Southbound Railway
Company (WSSB) and High Point,
Thomasville & Denton Railroad
Company (HPTD), both Class III rail
carriers, have filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3)
for a transaction within a corporate
family. Applicants state that HPTD will

merge into WSSB, with WSSB being the
surviving corporate entity. According to
applicants, WSSB controls HPTD and
owns 100 percent of HPTD’s stock, and
Norfolk Southern Railway Company
(NSRC) and CSX Transportation, Inc.
(CSXT) each owns a 50 percent interest
in WSSB.1 The purpose of the
transaction is to simplify the corporate
structure of the carriers and to thereby
reduce their costs.
The exemption will be effective on
May 1, 2010.
This is a transaction within a
corporate family of the type exempted
from prior review and approval under
49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3). The parties state
that the transaction will not result in
adverse changes in service levels,
significant operational changes, or
changes in the competitive balance with
carriers outside the corporate family.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of is
employees. Section 11326(c), however,
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under §§ 11324 and 11325
that involve only Class III rail carriers.
Accordingly, the Board may not impose
labor protective conditions here,
because all of the carriers involved are
Class III rail carriers.
If the 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 transaction.
Petitions for stay will be due no later
than April 23, 2010 (at least 7 days
before the effective date of the
exemption).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 35338 must be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–
0001. In addition, one copy of each
pleading must be served on applicants’
representatives, Louis E. Gitomer, 600
Baltimore Ave., Suite 301, Towson, MD
21204, and John V. Edwards, Three
Commercial Place, Norfolk, VA 23510.
1 Both WSSB and HPTD are operated as switching
carriers for the owners of WSSB—NSRC and CSXT.
WSSB owns 88 miles of main line from WinstonSalem, NC to Wadesboro, NC, and connects with:
(a) NSRC at Winston-Salem, Whitney, and
Lexington, NC, (b) CSXT at Wadesboro, (c) HPTD
at High Rock, NC, and (d) Aberdeen, Carolina &
Western Railway (ACWR) at Norwood, NC. HPTD
owns 34 miles of main line from High Point, NC
to High Rock and connects with: (a) WSSB at High
Rock, and (b) NSRC at High Point. Applicants state
that the proposed transaction will not affect the
connection with ACWR, since only WSSB connects
with ACWR today.
