INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Docket No. AB-167 (Sub-No. 1139)]

 

Consolidated Rail Corporation--Abandonment--Between Corry and 
Meadville, in Erie and Crawford Counties, PA

    The Commission has issued a certificate authorizing Consolidated 
Rail Corporation (Conrail) to abandon a line of railroad known as the 
Meadville Line, between milepost 60.5 in Corry, and milepost 102.3 in 
Meadville, a distance of approximately 41.8 miles, in Erie and Crawford 
Counties, PA. The abandonment was granted subject to: (1) the condition 
that Conrail keep intact all of the right-of-way underlying the track, 
including bridges, trestles, culverts, and tunnels, and retain the line 
intact and not sell any portion thereof, for a period of 180 days from 
the effective date of the decision to enable any State or local 
government agency or other interested person to negotiate the 
acquisition of the right-of-way for public use; (2) the condition that 
Conrail retain its interest in and take no steps to alter the historic 
integrity of the Meadville Line until completion of the section 106 
process of the National Historic Preservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 470f; and 
(3) the employee protective conditions in Oregon Short Line R. Co.--
Abandonment--Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). The abandonment certificate 
will become effective on August 31, 1994, unless the Commission finds 
that: (1) a financially responsible person has offered financial 
assistance (through subsidy or purchase) to enable the rail service to 
be continued; and (2) it is likely that the assistance would fully 
compensate the railroad.
    Any financial assistance offer must be filed with the Commission 
and Conrail no later than 10 days from the date of publication of this 
Notice. The following notation shall be typed in bold face in the lower 
left-hand corner of the envelope containing the offer: ``Office of 
Proceedings, AB-OFA.'' Any offer previously made must be remade within 
this 10-day period.
    Information and procedures regarding financial assistance for 
continued rail service are contained in 49 U.S.C. 10905 and 49 CFR 
1152.27.

    Decided: July 27, 1994.

    By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Acting Secretary.
