INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32567]
Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, Inc.--Lease, Operation, and
Acquisition Exemption--Southern Pacific Transportation Company
Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, Inc. (CORP), a noncarrier, has
filed a verified notice under 49 CFR Part 1150, Subpart D--Exempt
Transactions to lease, acquire and operate certain lines owned by the
Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SPT) and to acquire certain
incidental trackage rights in connection therewith for a total distance
of approximately 446.05 miles in Coos, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, and
Lane Counties, OR and Siskiyou County, CA. The notice filed by CORP
erroneously reported the total mileage as 446.37. Counsel for CORP has
confirmed that this figure should be 446.05. CORP will (1) lease and
operate (a) 23.37 miles of SPT's rail line between milepost 786.500 at
or near Coquille, OR and milepost 763.130 at or near Cordes, OR; (b)
.250 miles between milepost 644.300 at or near Springfield Junction, OR
and milepost 644.020 and between milepost 644.020 and milepost 621.300
on the SPT's Cascade Line; and (c) 79.0 miles between milepost 425.290
at or near Bellview, OR and milepost 346.00 at or near Black Butte, CA;
(2) acquire and operate (a) 111.016 miles between milepost 763.13 at or
near Cordes, OR and milepost 652.114 at or near Danebo, OR, (b) 218.730
miles between milepost 644.020 at or near Springfield Jct., and
milepost 425.290 at or near Bellview, OR to milepost 346.000 and (c)
5.87 miles between milepost 450.5 at or near Tolo, OR and milepost
456.374 at or near White City, OR (White City Branch); and (3) acquire
7.814 miles of incidental trackage rights between milepost 652.114 at
or near Danebo, OR and milepost 644.300 at or near Springfield Jct.,
OR, including access to SPT's Eugene, OR Yard.
The proposed transaction was expected to be consummated on December
31, 1994.
This proceeding is related to RailTex, Inc.--Continuance in Control
Exemption--Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, Inc., Finance Docket No.
32568, wherein RailTex seeks an exemption for its continuance in
control of CORP once it acquires or leases rail lines from SPT and
becomes a rail carrier.
If the verified notice contains false or misleading information,
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding
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.
Pleadings must be filed with the Commission and served on Robert L.
Calhoun, Sullivan & Worcester, Suite 1000, 1025 Connecticut Ave., N.W.,
Washington, DC 20036.
Decided: January 13, 1995.
By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
