Chicago Central & Pacific Railroad 

Company—Trackage Rights 

Exemption—Grand Trunk Western 

Railroad Company 

Pursuant to a written trackage rights 

agreement dated July 13, 2009, Grand 

Trunk Western Railroad Company 

(GTW) has agreed to grant nonexclusive 

trackage rights to Chicago Central & 

Pacific Railroad Company (CCP) over 

GTW’s line of railroad extending 

between the east side of the interlocking 

plant connecting with Elgin, Joliet & 

Eastern Railway Company trackage at or 

near milepost 36.1 at Griffith, IN, and 

GTW’s Railport Yard at or near milepost 

6.9 in Chicago, IL, on GTW’s Elsdon 

Subdivision, a distance of 

approximately 29.2 miles, in the States 

of Illinois and Indiana.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 CCP to efficiently handle freight 

movements between Griffith, IN, and 

GTW’s Railport Yard in Chicago, IL. 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 

Canadian National Railway Company 

and Grand Trunk Corporation— 

Control—EJ&E West Company, Finance 

Docket No. 35087 (STB served Dec. 24, 

2008) (CN—EJ&E). Neither CN nor any 

of the carriers submitting these notices 

has explained how the notices relate to 

each other, or how they would impact 

the operational information provided to 

the Board in CN—EJ&E. CN and its 

carrier subsidiaries are directed to 

submit this information, as well as a 

color-coded map showing all 17 

proposed trackage rights exemptions, by 

August 21, 2009. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the acquisition of 

the trackage rights will be protected by 

the conditions imposed in Norfolk and 

Western Ry. Co.—Trackage Rights—BN, 

354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in 

Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—Lease and 

Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980). 

This notice is filed under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(7). If the 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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Stay petitions must be 

filed by August 27, 2009 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 

(2007), nothing in this decision 

authorizes the following activities at any 

solid waste rail transfer facility: 

collecting, storing, or transferring solid 

waste outside of its original shipping 

container; or separating or processing 

solid waste (including baling, crushing, 

compacting, and shredding). The term 

‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 

U.S.C. 6903. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance

2009: (1) An explanation of how this 

notice relates to the 16 other notices 

filed simultaneously by carrier
