INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32823]
John C. Nolan--Continuance in Control Exemption--Lancaster
Northern Railway
John C. Nolan (Nolan) has filed a notice of exemption to continue
in control of Lancaster Northern Railway (LANO), upon LANO becoming a
class III rail carrier.
LANO, a noncarrier, has concurrently filed a notice of exemption in
Finance Docket No. 32822, Lancaster Northern Railway--Acquisition and
Operation Exemption--Line of Consolidated Rail Corporation, in which
LANO seeks to acquire and operate approximately 12.90 miles of rail
line owned by Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), known as the
Akron Secondary Track LC 20-0337, between the connection with Conrail
at approximately milepost 0.05 at Sinking Spring, Berks County, PA, and
the end of the track at Stevens at approximately milepost 12.94, in
Lancaster County, PA. The parties intended to consummate the proposed
transaction on November 30, 1995.
Nolan also controls, through stock ownership, two other
nonconnecting class III rail carriers that operate in Pennsylvania:
East Penn Railways, Inc., and Bristol Industrial Terminal Railway.
Nolan states that: (1) The railroads do not connect with each other nor
do they belong to any family of lines to which they connect; (2) the
involved transaction is not a part of a series of anticipated
transactions that would connect the railroads with each other or any
railroad within its corporate family; and (3) the transaction does not
involve a class I carrier. The transaction is therefore exempt from the
prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11343. See 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(2).
As a condition to the use of this exemption, any employees affected
by the transaction will be protected by the conditions set forth in New
York Dock Ry.--Control--Brooklyn Eastern Dist., 360 I.C.C. 60 (1979).
Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d) may be
filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the transaction. Pleadings must be filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission, Office of the Secretary, Case Control
Branch, 1201 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20423 1 and
served on: John K. Fiorilla, 390 George Street, P.O. Box 1185, New
Brunswick, NJ 08903.
\1\ Legislation to sunset the Commission on December 31, 1995,
and transfer remaining functions is now under consideration in
Congress. Until further notice, parties submitting pleadings should
continue to use the current name and address.

Proceedings.

Secretary.
