[STB Finance Docket No. 33571]
Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co.--Lease and Operation
Exemption--Soo Line Railroad; Company d/b/a Canadian Pacific Railway
The Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co. (WSOR), an existing Class III
rail carrier, has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to
lease from the Soo Line Railroad Company d/b/a Canadian Pacific Railway
(CPR), and to operate a line of railroad known as the Waterloo Spur,
extending from milepost 132.11 at Watertown, WI, to milepost 164.61 at
Madison, WI, a total of 32.5 miles.
Pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.42(e), WSOR certified on May 7, 1998, that
its annual revenues exceed $5 million and that it has, as of March 20,
1998, served the national offices of the labor unions with a copy of a
notice of its intent to undertake this transaction and posted such
notice at the workplace of the employees on the affected lines on March
23, 1998.
The transaction is expected to be consummated on or after June 1,
1998.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The date of consummation under normal circumstances would be
July 6, 1998 (60 days after WSOR's certification to the Board that
it had complied with the Board's rule at 49 CFR 1150.42(e)). The
Board, in a concurrently issued decision in this proceeding, has at
the request of WSOR waived, in part, the 60-day period to allow
consummation on June 1, 1998.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 automatically stay the transaction.
An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB
Finance Docket No. 33571 must be filed with the Surface Transportation
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be
served upon Robert A. Wimbish, Rea, Cross & Auchincloss, Suite 570,
1707 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036.
