INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32567]


Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, Inc.--Lease, Operation, and 
Acquisition Exemption--Southern Pacific Transportation Company

    Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, Inc. (CORP), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice under 49 CFR Part 1150, Subpart D--Exempt 
Transactions to lease, acquire and operate certain lines owned by the 
Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SPT) and to acquire certain 
incidental trackage rights in connection therewith for a total distance 
of approximately 446.05 miles in Coos, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, and 
Lane Counties, OR and Siskiyou County, CA. The notice filed by CORP 
erroneously reported the total mileage as 446.37. Counsel for CORP has 
confirmed that this figure should be 446.05. CORP will (1) lease and 
operate (a) 23.37 miles of SPT's rail line between milepost 786.500 at 
or near Coquille, OR and milepost 763.130 at or near Cordes, OR; (b) 
.250 miles between milepost 644.300 at or near Springfield Junction, OR 
and milepost 644.020 and between milepost 644.020 and milepost 621.300 
on the SPT's Cascade Line; and (c) 79.0 miles between milepost 425.290 
at or near Bellview, OR and milepost 346.00 at or near Black Butte, CA; 
(2) acquire and operate (a) 111.016 miles between milepost 763.13 at or 
near Cordes, OR and milepost 652.114 at or near Danebo, OR, (b) 218.730 
miles between milepost 644.020 at or near Springfield Jct., and 
milepost 425.290 at or near Bellview, OR to milepost 346.000 and (c) 
5.87 miles between milepost 450.5 at or near Tolo, OR and milepost 
456.374 at or near White City, OR (White City Branch); and (3) acquire 
7.814 miles of incidental trackage rights between milepost 652.114 at 
or near Danebo, OR and milepost 644.300 at or near Springfield Jct., 
OR, including access to SPT's Eugene, OR Yard.
    The proposed transaction was expected to be consummated on December 
31, 1994.
    This proceeding is related to RailTex, Inc.--Continuance in Control 
Exemption--Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, Inc., Finance Docket No. 
32568, wherein RailTex seeks an exemption for its continuance in 
control of CORP once it acquires or leases rail lines from SPT and 
becomes a rail carrier.
    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding 
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. 
Pleadings must be filed with the Commission and served on Robert L. 
Calhoun, Sullivan & Worcester, Suite 1000, 1025 Connecticut Ave., N.W., 
Washington, DC 20036.

    Decided: January 13, 1995.

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