1MRBC filed a verified notice of exemption in

Minnesota River Bridge Company—Acquisition and

Operation Exemption—Soo Line Railroad Company

d/b/a CP Rail System, Finance Docket No. 32807,

to acquire and operate the line. MRBC will retain

a residual obligation to provide common carrier

service on the line. The parties expected to

consummate the acquisition on or after December

13, 1995. The owners of MRBC concurrently filed

a petition for exemption in Douglas M. Head, Kent

P. Shoemaker, and Charles H. Clay—Continuance

in Control Exemption—Minnesota River Bridge

Company, Finance Docket No. 32810, to continue

in control of MRBC when it becomes a rail carrier.

Douglas M. Head, Kent P. Shoemaker, and Charles

H. Clay, MRBC’s stockholders, do not qualify for a

class exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2) because:

(1) they hold controlling ownership of MRBC, TCW,

and Red River Valley & Western Railroad Company;

and (2) the subject line connects with a rail line

owned by Soo Line Railroad Company d/b/a CP

Rail System (CPRS) on which TCW, controlled by

the above-named stockholders, anticipates

acquiring trackage rights in Finance Docket No.

32809, as described above. Thus, the stockholders

have established a voting trust to insulate

themselves from authorized acquisition of control

of MRBC until the petition for exemption for

control is acted upon.

2 Legislation to sunset the Commission on

December 31, 1995, and transfer the remaining

functions is now under consideration in Congress.

Until further notice, parties submitting pleadings

should continue to use the current name and

address: Interstate Commerce Commission, 1201

Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
