Ohio Railroad Lease Renewed Under Standard Exemption Rules
Published Date: 6/11/2026
Notice
Summary
R.J. Corman Railroad Company is renewing its lease to run trains on a 15-mile track in Ohio, from Uhrichsville to Dover, that it leases from CSX Transportation. They’ve updated their agreement to keep things rolling smoothly, including a promise to interchange freight with CSX. This deal won’t bring in more than $5 million a year, so it’s a steady, local move with no big money shake-ups.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Continued freight service on 15.1‑mile line
R.J. Corman Railroad Company will continue to lease and operate approximately 15.1 miles of rail line from milepost 59.5 at Uhrichsville, Ohio, to milepost 74.6 at Dover, Ohio, and will also continue to lease and operate ancillary yard track in Dover. This keeps the current local rail operations running on that specific route.
Interchange commitment preserved with CSXT
The updated lease and operation agreement contains an interchange commitment: RJCL will interchange freight with CSX Transportation, Inc., and RJCL submitted additional information about that commitment as required by 49 CFR 1150.43(h). This preserves the formal freight interchange arrangement between the two carriers.
Company revenues below $5 million threshold
RJCL certifies that its projected annual revenues from this transaction will not exceed $5 million and that it will not meet or exceed the thresholds of Class I or Class II carriers, indicating it remains a Class III rail carrier.
