          - [STB Finance Docket No. 33980] 

                    Riverview Trenton Railroad Company (Riverview), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Crown Enterprises, Inc. and operate approximately 1.5 miles of rail line within a 76-acre parcel in Riverview and Trenton, MI.[1]                                          The line connects with the track of the Canadian National Railway Company subsidiary Grand Trunk Western Railroad, Inc. (CN), over which Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) has operated, at the exit from the southwesterly edge of the 195.45-acre DSC site, as the track traverses diagonally across the intersection of King Road and W. Jefferson Avenue, in Trenton, near the FN Tower and CN River Subdivision milepost 10.96. The line also connects with the track of the CN as the line exits the 76-acre parcel at the northwest corner where it traverses W. Jefferson Avenue near its junction with Ford Avenue in Riverview and extends into the so-called CN Penn Salt Yard, over which Conrail has operated, near CN River Subdivision milepost 9.39.[2] 

                    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 33979,                     *CenTra, Inc., et al.—Continuance in Control Exemption—Riverview Trenton Railroad Company,*                     wherein CenTra, Inc.,                     *et al.*                     has filed a verified notice to continue in control of Riverview upon its becoming a Class III rail carrier.                 

                    The transaction was expected to be consummated immediately after the effective date of the exemption. The earliest the transaction could be consummated was December 20, 2000, 7 days after the exemption was filed.[3] 
      ( print page 1372)    
                    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.                 

An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB Finance Docket No. 33980, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be served on Daniel C. Sullivan, Esq., Sullivan & Hincks, 122 W. 22nd Street, Suite 350, Oak Brook, IL 60523.
