          - [STB Finance Docket No. 34363] 

                    Central Midland Railway Company (Central Midland), a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41,                     *et seq.*                    , to lease from Missouri Central Railroad Co. (Missouri Central) and operate 243.8 miles of rail line between milepost 19.0 west of Vigus, MO, and milepost 262.8 at Pleasant Hill, MO.[1] 

                    Central Midland certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier. The parties contemplated consummating the transaction on or after January 20, 2004.[2] 

                    If the verified 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.
