INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32610]


Norfolk and Western Railway Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--
Consolidated Rail Corporation

    Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) has agreed to grant 
overhead trackage rights to Norfolk and Western Railway Company (N&W) 
between milepost 363.0 at Warsaw and milepost 319.2 at Fort Wayne, a 
distance of approximately 43.8 miles in Allen, Kosciusko, and Whitley 
Counties, IN. The transaction was to have been consummated on November 
23, 1994.
    The transaction is intended to alleviate the congestion on N&W's 
own route between Fort Wayne and Chicago, IL, by giving it an 
immediate, alternative routing. The trackage rights are temporary and 
are to be used in connection with a line between Tolleston, IL, and 
Warsaw that N&W previously purchased from Conrail. N&W will purchase 
the Warsaw-Fort Wayne line from Conrail on or before January 10, 1996.
    As a condition to the use of this exemption, any employees 
adversely affected by the trackage rights will be protected under 
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).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). If the notice 
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 reopen will not stay 
the exemption's effectiveness. An original and 10 copies of all 
pleadings, referring to Finance Docket No. 32610, must be filed with 
the Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, Interstate Commerce 
Commission, Washington, DC 20423. In addition, a copy of each pleading 
must be served on Robert J. Cooney, 3 Commercial Place, Norfolk, VA 
23510-2191.

    Decided: November 18, 1994.

    By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
