1997.

the effective date of the exemption (7

days after the exemption was filed).2

Cargill states that: (i) The rail lines do

not connect; (ii) the transaction is not

part of a series of anticipated

transactions that would connect these

railroads with each other or with any

other railroad in their corporate family;

and (iii) the transaction does not involve

a Class I carrier. Therefore, the

transaction is exempt from the prior

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.

11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board

may not use its exemption authority to

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory

obligation to protect the interests of its

employees. Section 11326(c), however,

does not provide for labor protection for

transactions under sections 11324 and

11325 that involve only Class III rail

carriers. Because this transaction

involves Class III rail carriers only, the

Board, under the statute, may not

impose labor protective conditions for

this transaction.

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 transaction.

An original and 10 copies of all

pleadings, referring to STB Finance
