INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Docket No. AB-1 (Sub No. 252X)]

 

Chicago and North Western Transportation Company Abandonment and 
Discontinuance of Service Exemption in Hennepin County, MN

AGENCY: Interstate Commerce Commission.

ACTION: Notice of exemption.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission exempts from the prior approval requirements of 
49 U.S.C. 10903, 10904, and 10906 the Chicago and North Western 
Transportation Company's abandonment of a 3.65-mile segment of the 
Cedar Lake line from milepost 16.20 to milepost 19.85 in Hopkin, MN, in 
Hennepin County, MN, and the discontinuance of service over the 
remaining 2.5-mile segment of Cedar Lake line, between milepost 13.70 
at Cedar Lake in western Minneapolis, MN, and milepost 16.20 at 
Hopkins, MN, in Hennepin County, MN.1

    \1\Originally CNW sought to abandon the entire Cedar Lake line. 
By letter filed April 7, 1994, CNW amended its petition for 
exemption to state that only a discontinuance of service is sought 
over the 2.5 miles of the Cedar Lake line, between milepost 13.70 
and milepost 16.20, as described above, because the Soo Line 
Railroad Company and the Twin Cities and Western Railroad Company 
would retain their overhead trackage rights over that line segment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

DATES: The exemption will be effective on August 14, 1994, unless a 
formal expression of intent to file an offer of financial assistance is 
filed. Formal expressions of intent to file an offer of financial 
assistance under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2)2 must be filed by July 25, 
1994; petitions to stay must be filed by August 1, 1994; and petitions 
to reopen must be filed by August 9, 1994.
