Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co.--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co., a Class III short line rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire by lease and operate three interconnecting lines that total 
approximately 73.62 miles of rail lines owned by Union Pacific Railroad 
Company and located in the State of Wisconsin as follows: (1) The 
Reedsburg Line between milepost 134.0 at Madison and milepost 191.9 at 
Reedsburg; (2) the Cottage Grove Industrial Lead between milepost 81.0 
(a point diverging from the Reedsburg Line at about milepost 139.3 in 
Madison) and milepost 71.0 at Cottage Grove; and (3) the Central Soya 
Industrial Lead between milepost 83.78 (a point diverging from the 
Reedsburg Line at about milepost 136.7 in Madison) and milepost 89.50 
in Madison. The proposed transaction was to be consummated on or about 
October 20, 1996.
    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.
