INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32828]


Chicago Short Line Railway Company; Trackage Rights Exemption; 
Consolidated Rail Corporation

    Chicago Short Line Railway Company filed a verified notice under 49 
CFR 1180.2(d)(7) to acquire overhead trackage rights from Consolidated 
Rail Corporation (Conrail) over 9.65 0.05<plus-minus> miles of rail 
line, as follows: (1) The 0.05<plus-minus>-mile segment between 
Conrail's right-of-way line and the point of switch of the new 
interlocked switch in Conrail's Chicago Line at milepost 
509.5<plus-minus>, in South Chicago, IL; (2) the 7.40<plus-minus>-mile 
segment comprising main tracks (including appurtenant sidings, 
crossovers, and connecting tracks) of the Chicago Line between milepost 
502.6<plus-minus>, at Indiana Harbor, IN, and milepost 
510.0<plus-minus>, at South Chicago; (3) the 0.20<plus-minus>-mile 
segment of the BRC connection lead between the connection with the 
Chicago Line main track at milepost 509.7<plus-minus>, in South 
Chicago, thence westerly to Conrail's property line at Rock Island 
Junction, IL; and (4) the 2.0<plus-minus>-mile segment of Conrail's 
Calumet River Line between its connection with the Chicago Line at 
milepost 0.0<plus-minus>, in South Chicago, and milepost 
1.9<plus-minus>, at South Chicago, plus 0.1<plus-minus>-mile through 
110th Street Yard to LVT (Republic) Steel. The trackage rights were to 
become effective on such date as the parties may agree in writing as 
provided in their trackage rights agreement, but not sooner than the 
effective date of the exemption.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees adversely affected 
by the trackage rights will be protected under 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).
    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. 10505(d) may be filed at any time. 
The filing of a petition to reopen will not stay the exemption's 
effectiveness. An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to 
Finance Docket No. 32838, must be filed with the Office of the 
Secretary, Case Control Branch, Interstate Commerce Commission, 
Washington, DC 20423.<SUP>1 In addition, a copy of each pleading must
