2 Because the related filing in STB Finance

Docket No. 32893 for an exemption from 10901

under 49 CFR 1150.31, includes acquisition of

trackage rights by noncarriers, a separate notice of

exemption for trackage rights in STB Finance

Docket No. 32894 might be unnecessary unless one

or more of the trackage rights transactions will

occur after another of the transactions, in which

case IORP will have already become a carrier and

thus require exemption under section 1180.2(d)(7).

notice under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) and

has entered into agreements for local

and overhead trackage rights with

Cincinnati Terminal Railway Corp., the

Indiana and Ohio Railroad Company,

the Indiana & Ohio Railway Company,

Inc., and the Indiana & Ohio Central

conducted are: (1) with Cincinnati

Terminal Railway Corp., from MP 0.4 in

Cincinnati, OH, to MP 16.4 at Evendale,

OH, for a total of 16 miles; (2) with

Indiana and Ohio Railroad Company,

from MP 17.75 at Valley Junction, OH,

near Hageman, OH, to MP 36.9 at South

to MP 31.1 near Hageman, OH, and (d)

to MP 129.4 at Bell, OH, for a total of

approximately 147.6 miles.

The purpose of the transaction is to

provide rail passenger service via

trackage rights in the States of Indiana

and Ohio.

The transaction was expected to be

consummated on or about April 12,

1996.

This proceeding is related to The

Indiana & Ohio Rail Passenger

Corporation—Operation Exemption—

Cincinnati Terminal Railway Corp.,

Indiana and Ohio Railroad Company,

Indiana & Ohio Railway Company, Inc.,

and Indiana & Ohio Central Railroad

Company, Inc., STB Finance Docket No.

32893, wherein IORP has concurrently

filed a notice of exemption to operate

via the acquired trackage rights.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

Docket No. 32894, must be filed with

the Surface Transportation Board, Office

of the Secretary, Case Control Branch,

1201 Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20423. In addition, a

copy of each pleading must be served

on: Robert L. Calhoun, Sullivan &

Worcester, LLP, Suite 1000, 1025

Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Washington,

DC 20036.

Decided: April 23, 1996.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
