The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company--Trackage
Rights Exemption--Illinois Central Railroad Company
Illinois Central Railroad Company (IC) has agreed to grant limited
overhead trackage rights to The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe
Railway Company (BNSF) over IC's rail line between a point at the east
end of the St. Charles Airline near IC's milepost 1.7 at Chicago, IL,
and a point near IC's milepost 19.5 at Harvey, IL, a distance of
approximately 17.6 miles.
The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after
June 18, 1999.
The purpose of the trackage rights is to permit BNSF, using its own
trains with its own crews, to interchange unit coal trains with
Canadian National Railway (CN) at CN's connection with IC at Harvey.
As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the
trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in 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).

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.
