          - [STB Finance Docket No. 34056] 

                    Fore River Transportation Corp. (FRT), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to operate the rail line of Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) and Fore River Railroad Corporation (FRRC) [1]                                          extending approximately 3.76 miles between a point in the City of Quincy, MA, and an interchange with CSX Transportation, Inc., in the Town of Braintree, MA (line).[2]                                          FRT states that it will soon enter into an agreement with FRRC to provide rail freight service over the line.                 

                    The transaction is expected to be consummated on July 1, 2000.[3] 

                    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void                     *ab initio*. Petitions to reopen the proceeding 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.
