Chicago and North Western Transportation Company

    Chicago and North Western Railway Company\1\ (CNW) and Soo Line 
Railroad Company (Soo) d/b/a CP Rail System (CPRS) have agreed to 
supplement their existing trackage rights agreement.\2\ The basic 
agreement granted Soo bridge rights to operate over CNW's line of 
railway between MP 4.18 at St. Paul (Cliff), MN, and MP 29.00 at 
Shakopee, MN, a distance of 24.82 miles. The supplemental agreement 
grants Soo the right of ingress and egress to Savage, MN, over CNW's 
trackage for the purpose of access to industries located there.\3\ The 
trackage rights were to become effective on or after June 2, 1994.

    \1\Effective May 6, 1994, the Chicago and North Western 
Transportation Company changed its name to the ``Chicago and North

of Exemption in Soo Line Railroad Company and Chicago and North 
Western Transportation Company--Joint Relocation Project Exemption, 
Finance Docket No. 31775 (ICC served Dec. 14, 1990). A Corrected 
Notice of Exemption was served on December 27, 1990, to reflect the

a connecting track between the Joint Trackage and CPRS's trackage. 
Any new rail construction may require Commission approval.

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: Larry D. Starns, Esq., General Attorney, Soo Line Railroad Company, 
1000 Soo Line Building, 105 South Fifth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402.
