Illinois Central Railroad Company— 

Trackage Rights Exemption—Chicago 

Central & Pacific Railroad Company 

Pursuant to a written trackage rights 

agreement dated July 13, 2009, Chicago 

Central & Pacific Railroad Company 

(CCP) has agreed to grant Illinois Central 

Railroad Company (IC) nonexclusive 

trackage rights over CCP’s line of 

railroad between CCP’s connection with 

the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway 

Company at or near CCP’s milepost 35.7 

at Munger, IL, and CCP’s connection 

with IC at or near CCP’s milepost 8.3 

(Belt Crossing) at Chicago, IL, on CCP’s 

Freeport Subdivision, a distance of 

approximately 27.4 miles, all in the 

State of Illinois.1

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or about September 3, 

2009, the effective date of the exemption 

(30 days after the exemption is filed). 

The purpose of the trackage rights is to 

enable IC to efficiently handle freight 

movements between Munger and Belt 

Crossing at Chicago. The transaction 

also extends to all industry spurs, 

connecting tracks and sidings now 

existent or hereafter constructed along 

the tracks to be used here, and right-ofway for the tracks to be used here, 

signals, interlocking devices and plants, 

telegraph and telephone lines, and other 

appurtenances necessary to the use of 

those tracks. 

This is one of 17 notices of exemption 

for trackage rights in the Chicago area 

submitted simultaneously by carrier 

subsidiaries of the Canadian National 

Railway Company (CN). We note that
