INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32635]


Morris H. Kulmer, Kern W. Schumacher, Troy W. Schumacher and 
Michael J. Van Wagenen--Continuance in Control Exemption--V&S Railway, 
Inc.

    Morris H. Kulmer, Kern W. Schumacher, Troy W. Schumacher and 
Michael J. Van Wagenen, noncarrier individuals (applicants), have filed 
a notice of exemption to continue in control of V&S Railway, Inc. (V&S) 
upon V&S's becoming a carrier. V&S has concurrently filed a related 
notice of exemption, V&S Railway, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Rail Line of St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company, in 
Finance Docket No. 32634, in which V&S is seeking to acquire and 
operate approximately 65.0 miles of rail line in Franklin, Hopkins, 
Delta, Titus and Hunt Counties, TX.
    The control transaction was to have been consummated on or about 
December 30, 1994.
    Applicants also control two other nonconnecting class III rail 
carriers: Tulare Valley Railroad Company, operating in California, and 
SF&L Railway, Inc., operating in Texas.
    Applicants state that: (1) the properties operated by these three 
carriers do not connect with each other; (2) the control is not part of 
a series of anticipated transactions that would connect the railroads 
with each other or any railroad in their corporate family; and (3) the 
transaction does not involve a class I carrier. The transaction 
therefore is exempt from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 
11343. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
    As a condition to use of this exemption, any employees affected by 
the transaction will be protected by the conditions set forth in New 
York Dock Ry.--Control--Brooklyn Eastern Dist., 360 I.C.C. 60 (1979).
    Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d) may be 
filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not 
automatically stay the transaction. Pleadings must be filed with the 
Commission and served on: Mark H. Sidman, Suite 800, 1350 New York 
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20005-4797.

    Decided: January 11, 1995.

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