John C. Nolan—Continuance in

Control Exemption—Lancaster

Northern Railway

John C. Nolan (Nolan) has filed a

notice of exemption to continue in

control of Lancaster Northern Railway

(LANO), upon LANO becoming a class

III rail carrier.

LANO, a noncarrier, has concurrently

filed a notice of exemption in Finance

Docket No. 32822, Lancaster Northern

Railway—Acquisition and Operation

Exemption—Line of Consolidated Rail

Corporation, in which LANO seeks to

acquire and operate approximately

12.90 miles of rail line owned by

Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail),

known as the Akron Secondary Track

LC 20–0337, between the connection

with Conrail at approximately milepost

0.05 at Sinking Spring, Berks County,

PA, and the end of the track at Stevens

at approximately milepost 12.94, in

Lancaster County, PA. The parties

intended to consummate the proposed

transaction on November 30, 1995.

Nolan also controls, through stock

ownership, two other nonconnecting

class III rail carriers that operate in

Pennsylvania: East Penn Railways, Inc.,

and Bristol Industrial Terminal Railway.

Nolan states that: (1) The railroads do

not connect with each other nor do they

belong to any family of lines to which

they connect; (2) the involved

transaction is not a part of a series of

anticipated transactions that would

connect the railroads with each other or

any railroad within its corporate family;

and (3) the transaction does not involve

a class I carrier. The transaction is

therefore exempt from the prior

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.

11343. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).

As a condition to the use of this

exemption, any employees affected by

the transaction will be protected by the

conditions set forth in New York Dock

Ry.—Control—Brooklyn Eastern Dist.,

360 I.C.C. 60 (1979).

Petitions to revoke the exemption

under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d) may be filed

at any time. The filing of a petition to

revoke will not automatically stay the

transaction. Pleadings must be filed

with the Interstate Commerce

Commission, Office of the Secretary,

Case Control Branch, 1201 Constitution

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20423 1

and served on: John K. Fiorilla, 390

George Street, P.O. Box 1185, New

Brunswick, NJ 08903.

Decided: December 14, 1995.

Norfolk Southern Railway Company—

Corporate Family Exemption—Georgia

Midland Railway Company

Norfolk Southern Railway Company

(NSR) or its predecessors have leased a

portion of track in Georgia from Georgia

Midland Railway Company (GMRC),1

pursuant to a lease dated June 18, 1896.

The term of the lease expired on

October 2, 1995. The railroads have

agreed to extend the lease for successive

one-year terms to commence October 2,

1995, until terminated by agreement of

the parties or operation of law. It is

expected that GMRC will eventually be

liquidated or merged into NSR.

Accordingly, the purpose of this

exemption is to extend the lease until

such time as this occurs.

This notice is filed under 49 CFR

1180.2(d)(3) 2 which exempts

transactions within a corporate family

that do not result in adverse changes in

service levels, significant operational

changes, or a change in the competitive

balance with carriers outside the

corporate family. Petitions to revoke the

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d)

may be filed at any time. The filing of

a petition to revoke will not stay the

transaction.

Any comments must be filed with the

Commission 3 and served on: Greg E.
