INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32420]
The Indiana & Ohio Rail Corp.--Continuance in Control Exemption--
The Cincinnati Terminal Railway Co.
AGENCY: Interstate Commerce Commission.
ACTION: Notice of exemption.
SUMMARY: Under 49 U.S.C. 10505, the Commission exempts from the prior
approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11343, et seq., the Indiana & Ohio
Rail Corp.'s (IORC)1 continuance in control of The Cincinnati
Terminal Railway Co. (CTER), through ownership of all of CTER's capital
stock. CTER is a class III common carrier that operates a 16.25-mile
line of railroad and associated branch and connecting tracks known as
the Oasis Line, located in Cincinnati, Fairfax, and Evendale, OH.
\1\ IORC is a non-carrier that controls, with the Commission's
approval, four other railroads.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATES: This exemption is effective on October 19, 1994. Petitions to
stay must be filed by September 29, 1994 and petitions to reopen must
be filed by October 11, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Send pleadings referring to Finance Docket No. 32420 to: (1)
Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, Interstate Commerce
Commission, Washington, DC 20423; and (2) Petitioner's representative:
Robert L. Calhoun, Sullivan & Worcester, Suite 1000, 1025 Connecticut
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beryl Gordon, (202) 927-5610. [TDD for
hearing impaired: (202) 927-5721.]
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Near its northern end, CTER's Oasis Line
connects with the Indiana & Ohio Railway Company (IORY), a wholly owned
subsidiary of IORC, and, at its northern end, with Conrail. From its
northern end, the line runs in a loop south and west through
Cincinnati, OH, where it connects with a line of the Norfolk & Western
Railway Company (N&W). CTER entered into a track lease agreement with
N&W.2 As a result, CTER connects with another carrier, the Central
Railroad Company of Indiana (CIND). The Indiana and Ohio Railroad
Company (INOH), also controlled by IORC, has trackage rights over
CIND.3 Control of CTER by IORC will permit the coordination of the
operations and services of INOH, IORY, and CTER. The combined INOH-
CTER-IORY operation will provide a through connection to Conrail that
will eliminate the need to rely on an intermediate switch.
