St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad Co.--Lease and Operation
Exemption--Berlin Mills Railway, Inc.
St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad Company (SL&A), a Class III rail
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41
to acquire and operate rail lines owned by Berlin Mills Railway, Inc.,
in Coos County, NH, as follows: (1) Approximately 5.5 route miles
between milepost 154.6 at Berlin and milepost 149.1 at Gorham; and (2)
approximately 0.5 route miles of rail line (which does not have salient
milepost designations) in the vicinity of Berlin. The total distance of
the rail lines to be leased by SL&A is approximately 6.0 route miles.
The transaction was expected to be consummated soon after October 9,
1997, the effective date of the exemption.
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.

Finance Docket No. 33485, must be filed with the Surface Transportation
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW,
