INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32595]


The Maryland and Delaware Railroad Company Modified Rail 
Certificate

    On October 3, 1994, as supplemented November 4, 1994 and December 
1, 1994, The Maryland and Delaware Railroad Company (MDDE) filed a 
notice for a modified certificate of public convenience and necessity 
under 49 CFR part 1150, subpart C, to operate two lines of railroad 
owned by the State of Delaware in Sussex County, DE: (1) The Lewes 
Running Track, a distance of 16.23 miles between milepost 24.16 at 
Georgetown Yard and milepost 40.39 at Henlopen; and (2) The Milton 
Industrial Track, a distance of 6.60 miles between milepost 0.00 at 
Ellendale and milepost 6.60 at Milton.
    The line segments comprising the Lewes Running Track (#159 Lewes-
Lewes Beach, #160 Broadkill-Lewes, and #161 Georgetown-Lewes) were 
formerly owned and operated by the Penn Central Corp. MDDE states that 
the line was not included in the United States Railway Association 
Final System Plan when the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) was 
established, and was abandoned in accordance with Section 304 of the 
Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973, 45 U.S.C. 744. The Milton 
Industrial Track was formerly owned and operated by Conrail. In Conrail 
Abandonment Between Ellendale and Milton, DE, Docket No. AB-167 (Sub-
No. 188N) (ICC served Mar. 26, 1982), the Commission authorized Conrail 
to abandon this track. The Delaware Department of Transportation 
acquired both lines, and, effective October 1, 1982, contracted with 
The Delaware Coast Line Railroad (DCLR) to operate them. The contract 
with DCLR expired on September 30, 1994, and MDDE commenced operations 
under a new contract effective October 1, 1994.
    The Commission will serve a copy of this notice on the Association 
of American Railroads (Car Service Division), as agent of all railroads 
subscribing to the car-service and car-hire agreement, 50 F Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20001, and on the American Short Line Railroad1 
Association, 1120 G Street, NW, Suite 520, Washington, DC 20005.

    Decided: January 11, 1995.

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