Abstract: Under the Interstate Commerce Act, Pub. L. No. 104-88, 109 Stat. 803 (1995), liens on rail equipment must be filed with the STB in order to perfect a security interest in the equipment. Subsequent assignments of rights or release of obligations under such instruments must also be filed with the agency. This information is maintained by the Board for public inspection. Recordation at the STB obviates the need for recording such a lien in individual States.
