    INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
    [Finance Docket No. 32828]
    
    
    Chicago Short Line Railway Company; Trackage Rights Exemption; 
    Consolidated Rail Corporation
    
        Chicago Short Line Railway Company filed a verified notice under 49 
    CFR 1180.2(d)(7) to acquire overhead trackage rights from Consolidated 
    Rail Corporation (Conrail) over 9.65 0.05 miles of rail 
    line, as follows: (1) The 0.05-mile segment between 
    Conrail's right-of-way line and the point of switch of the new 
    interlocked switch in Conrail's Chicago Line at milepost 
    509.5, in South Chicago, IL; (2) the 7.40-mile 
    segment comprising main tracks (including appurtenant sidings, 
    crossovers, and connecting tracks) of the Chicago Line between milepost 
    502.6, at Indiana Harbor, IN, and milepost 
    510.0, at South Chicago; (3) the 0.20-mile 
    segment of the BRC connection lead between the connection with the 
    Chicago Line main track at milepost 509.7, in South 
    Chicago, thence westerly to Conrail's property line at Rock Island 
    Junction, IL; and (4) the 2.0-mile segment of Conrail's 
    Calumet River Line between its connection with the Chicago Line at 
    milepost 0.0, in South Chicago, and milepost 
    1.9, at South Chicago, plus 0.1-mile through 
    110th Street Yard to LVT (Republic) Steel. The trackage rights were to 
    become effective on such date as the parties may agree in writing as 
    provided in their trackage rights agreement, but not sooner than the 
    effective date of the exemption.
        As a condition to this exemption, any employees adversely affected 
    by the trackage rights will be protected under Norfolk and Western Ry. 
    Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in 
    Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).
        If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
    the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding to 
    revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d) may be filed at any time. 
    The filing of a petition to reopen will not stay the exemption's 
    effectiveness. An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to 
    Finance Docket No. 32838, must be filed with the Office of the 
    Secretary, Case Control Branch, Interstate Commerce Commission, 
    Washington, DC 20423.1 In addition, a copy of each pleading must

    R. Minnick, Chicago Short Line Railway Company, 3060 Eggers Ave., 
    Cleveland, OH 44105-1012.
    
        \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.
