Exemption--Consolidated Rail Corporation
Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) has agreed to grant limited
overhead trackage rights to Grand Trunk Western Railroad Incorporated
(GTW) between the Conrail/GTW connection on Conrail's North Yard Branch
at CP-Vinewood (MP 3.1+), Detroit, MI, and the connection with GTW's
existing rights over Conrail (pursuant to an agreement between the
parties dated September 27, 1984), at the connection between Conrail
and the Ann Arbor Railroad on Conrail's Detroit Line, at Alexis, OH (MP
50.3+).
The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after the

The purpose of the trackage rights is to attract to rail service
certain automotive parts traffic moving between Detroit and Toledo by
improving service and transit time.
