NOTICE OF INTENT TO ABANDON RAIL SERVICE AB-290 (Sub-No. 419X) Norfolk Southern Railway Company ("NSR") gives notice that on or about October 9, 2025, it intends to file with the Surface Transportation Board ("Board"), Washington, DC, a Notice of Exemption pursuant to 49 C.F.R Part 1152 Subpart F – Exempt Abandonments, permitting NSR to abandon rail service over approximately 1.16 miles of rail line between milepost AI 0.29 +/- to milepost AI 1.45 +/- (the "Line") in Summit County, Ohio. The Line traverses the United States Postal Zip Code territory 44236. There are no customers served on the Line, which has been out of service for over two years. The related proceeding has been docketed as AB-290 (Sub-No. 419X). The Board's Office of Environmental Analysis ("OEA") generally will prepare an Environmental Assessment ("EA"), which normally will be available 25 days after the filing of the abandonment notice of exemption. Comments on environmental and energy matters should be filed no later than 15 days after the EA becomes available to the public. Such comments will be addressed in a Board decision. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the EA or make inquiries regarding environmental matters by writing to OEA, Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20423, or by calling that office at (202) 245-0295. Appropriate offers of financial assistance ("OFA") to continue rail service can be filed with the Board. Requests for environmental conditions, public use conditions, or rail banking/trails use can also be filed with the Board. An original and 10 copies of any pleading that raises matters other than environmental issues (such as trails, public use, and OFA) must be filed directly with the Board's Section of Administration, Office of Proceedings, 395 E Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20423 [See 49 C.F.R. §§ 1104.1(a) and 1104.3(a)], and one copy must be served on applicants' representative [See 49 CFR § 1104.12(a)].
