BA# 3384 B.C.D. 02-60 AUG 1 4 2002 EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION Delaware Valley Railway Company, Inc. This is a determination of the Railroad Retirement Board concerning the continued status of Delaware Valley Railway Company, Inc. (DVRC)(B.A. No. 3384) as an employer under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 23 1 et seq.)(RRA) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. §351 et seg.)(RUIA). DVRC became a covered employer under the RRA and the RUIA on July 1, 1994. Mr. Gary Laakso, Vice President and Regulatory Counsel for RailAmerica, provided information regarding DVRC. According to Mr. Laakso, DVRC ceased rail operations and last compensated its employees on June 4, 1999. Mr. Laakso stated that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania involuntarily terminated DVRC’s lease and contractual rights. He stated that all of DVRC’s property was removed from the line and sent to other railroads within Rail America’s corporate family. He stated that thereafter, Brandywine Valley Railway Company (B.A. No. 3342), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel, began rail services. DVRC has not been dissolved as a corporation. Section 202.11 (20 CFR 202.11) of the Board’s regulations states: The employer status of any company or person shall terminate whenever such company or person loses any of the characteristics essential to the existence of an employer status. The evidence of record establishes that Delaware Valley Railway Company, Inc. no longer possesses the characteristics of an operating railroad. Therefore, the Board finds that effective June 4, 1999, the date it ceased rail operations, Delaware Valley Railway Company, Inc. ceased to be an -2- Delaware Valley Railway Company, Inc. employer under the Railroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act..

Conditions Governing Access The collection is open for research. Note that material is stored off-site and must be requested at least 36 hours in advance of intended use. Provenance Gift of George E. Tillitson, 1955. Special Notes One very useful feature of the material is further described in the two attached pages. This is the carefully annotated study of a good many of the important large railroads of the United States complete within their own files, these to be found within the official state of incorporation. Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out.

Abandoned Railroad Inventory and Policy Plan Abandoned Railroad Inventory and Policy Plan
ABANDONED RAILROAD INVENTORY AND POLICY PLAN ABANDONED RAILROAD INVENTORY AND POLICY PLAN prepared by: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission The Bourse Building 111 S. Independence Mall East Philadelphia, PA 19106-2515 September 1997 This report was printed on recycled paper The preparation of this report was funded through federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) , as well as by DVRPC's member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for its findings and conclusions, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency which provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning for the orderly growth and development of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties as well as the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey. The Commission is an advisory agency which divides its planning and service functions between the Office of the Executive Director, the Office of Public Affairs, and three line Divisions: Transportation Planning, Regional Planning, and Administration. DVRPC's mission for the 1990s is to emphasize technical assistance and services and to conduct high priority studies for member state and local governments, while determining and meeting the needs of the private sector. The DVRPC logo is adapted from the official seal of the Commission and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River flowing through it.
