INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32673]
California Northern Railroad Company Limited Partnership--
Trackage Rights--Southern Pacific Transportation Company
Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SPT) has agreed to grant
overhead trackage rights to California Northern Railroad Company
Limited Partnership (CNR) over approximately 28.95 miles of rail line.
The trackage rights will permit CNR to operate over: (1) A portion of
SPT's line known as the Sacramento Line from Davis, CA, at SPT's
milepost 75.4 to Suisun-Fairfield, CA, at SPT's milepost 47.8; (2) a
portion of SPT's line known as the West Valley Line which includes
trackage at Davis, CA, from SPT's milepost 75.58 to SPT's milepost
75.4; and (3) a portion of SPT's line known as the Shellville Branch
which includes trackage at Suisun-Fairfield, CA, from SPT's milepost
48.97 to SPT's milepost 47.8. The trackage rights will include the
double track currently in place on the Sacramento Line, all operating
sidings used for the purpose of meeting and passing trains, and SPT-
owned portions of existing connections. The trackage rights were to
become effective on or after May 1, 1995.
The proposed transaction will facilitate more economic and
efficient operations by permitting direct movement of CNR's trains
between Davis and Suisun-Fairfield. CNR currently interchanges traffic
with SPT at Davis and at Suisun-Fairfield for trains moving from the
West Valley Line to the Shellville Branch. The trackage rights will
allow CNR to conduct operations between these two lines without
incurring the cost and delay of two interchanges.
This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). If the notice
contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab
initio. 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 stay
the transaction. Pleadings must be filed with the Commission and served
on: Mark H. Sidman, 1350 New York Avenue, N.W., Suite 800, Washington,
DC 20005-4797.
As a condition to the use of 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).
Decided: May 9, 1995.
By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
