INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32745]
Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway Company, Inc., Modified
Certificate
On July 6, 1995, Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway Company, Inc.,
(TSBY) filed a notice for a modified certificate of public convenience
and necessity under 49 CFR Part 1150, Subpart C, to operate 118.45
miles of rail line as follows: (1) A 93.2-mile portion of United States
Railroad Administration (USRA) Line No. 454 extending between milepost
332.8 at Cadillac, MI, and milepost 332.8 at Petoskey, MI, including
the Cadillac North yard and Cadillac Beltway and (2) a 25.25-mile
portion of USRA Line No. 470 extending between milepost 0.0 at Walton
Junction, MI, and milepost 25.25 at Traverse City, MI.
These rail lines are owned by the State of Michigan (Michigan).
They were not included in the final system plan at the time the
Consolidated Rail Corporation was formed, and as such,
[[Page 53199]]
were authorized to be abandoned without further Commission approval
pursuant to the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of
1976.
The lines involved here are part of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's former Grand Rapids & Indiana North line extending from Grand
Rapids, (Comstock Park) to Mackinaw City, MI. Michigan Northern Railway
Company operated the lines as Michigan's Designated Operator until
1984. See D-OP 8 Certificate of Designated Operator, Michigan Northern
Railway Company, Inc., D-OP 8 (USRA Line Nos. 454, 454a, 461, and 470-
PC) (ICC served May 5, 1976). In 1984, Michigan purchased most of the
Grand Rapids & Indiana North lines from the successor to the Penn
Central Transportation Company. At that time, Michigan designated TSBY
to operate the Reed City to Petoskey, MI, line segment. See Certificate
of Designated Operator Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Company Railway Company,
Inc., D-OP 56 (USRA Line Nos. 454, 454a, and 470) (ICC served Nov. 23,
1984 and Jan. 7, 1984).
The Commission will serve a copy of this notice on the Association
of American Railroads (Car Service Division), as agent for all
railroads subscribing to the car-service and car-hire agreement, and on
the American Short Line Railroad Association.
Decided: October 3, 1995.
By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of
Proceedings.

Secretary.
