\1\ The ICC Termination Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-88, 109
Stat. 803, which was enacted on December 29, 1995, and took effect
on January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate Commerce Commission and
transferred certain functions to the Surface Transportation Board
(Board). This notice relates to functions that are subject to Board

[STB Finance Docket No. 32940]
Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc.--Trackage Rights Exemption--
Pittsburg & Shawmut Railroad, Inc. [19490]
Pittsburg & Shawmut Railroad, Inc. has agreed to grant local
trackage rights to Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc. over
approximately 1.5 miles of railroad located in Pennsylvania between
milepost 1.5 near Dellwood Junction and milepost 0.00 at Brockway Yard.
The trackage rights were to become effective on or after May 10, 1996.
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. 10502(d) may
be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not stay
the transaction.
An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB
Finance Docket No. 32940, must be filed with the Surface Transportation
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, 1201 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20423 and served on: James B. Gray, Jr.,
Harter, Secrest & Emery, 700 Midtown Tower, Rochester, NY 14604-2070.
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board may not use its exemption
authority to relieve a rail carrier of its statutory obligation to
protect the interests of its employees. Section 11326(c), however, does
not provide for labor protection for transactions under sections 11324
and 11325 that involve only Class III rail carriers. Because this
transaction involves Class III rail carriers only, the Board, under the
statute, may not impose labor protective conditions for this
transaction.
Decided: May 10, 1996.
By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
