Grand Trunk Western Railroad 

Company—Trackage Rights

Pursuant to a written trackage rights 

agreement dated July 13, 2009, 

Wisconsin Central, Ltd. (WCL) has 

agreed to grant nonexclusive trackage 

rights to Grand Trunk Western Railroad 

Company (GTW) over WCL’s line of 

railroad extending between the 

connection with Elgin, Joliet & Eastern 

Railway Company trackage at or near 

milepost 37.9 at Leithton, IL, and the

Inc. trackage at or near milepost 10.9 at 

Forest Park, IL (Madison Street), on 

WCL’s Waukesha Subdivision, a 

distance of approximately 27.0 miles, all 

in the State of Illinois.1

GTW proposes to consummate the 

transaction on or about September 3, 

2009, but the earliest it may be 

consummated is September 4, 2009, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the exemption is filed). The 

purpose of the trackage rights is to 

enable GTW to efficiently handle freight 

movements between Leithton and Forest 

Park. 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-of-way 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 

the involved lines of railroad were 

examined as part of the project area in

or misleading information, the 

exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to 

revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C.

filed by August 28, 2009 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective).
