INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Finance Docket No. 32425]


Chicago SouthShore & South Bend Railroad--Operation Exemption--
Illinois International Port District

    Chicago SouthShore & South Bend Railroad (CSS) filed a notice of 
exemption to provide nonexclusive switching service over 8.7 miles of 
yard and switching track entirely within the Illinois International 
Port District. The track generally is located north of 130th Street and 
east of Doty Avenue on the west bank of Lake Calumet in Chicago, IL. 
The exemption was to become effective on or about October 20, 1994.
    Any comments must be filed with the Commission and served on: Jo A. 
DeRoche, Weiner, Brodsky, Sidman & Kider, P.C., 1350 New York Avenue, 
N.W., Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 20005-4797.
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1150.31. 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.1 The filing of a petition to revoke will not 
automatically stay the transaction.

    \1\ Simultaneously with the filing of the notice of exemption, 
CSS filed a petition to dismiss; and, on October 20, 1994, it 
submitted exhibits inadvertently omitted from its petition. The 
Railway Labor Executives' Association and United Transportation 
Union, respectively, filed comments on October 24 and November 3, 
1994. Chicago Rail Link (CRL), on November 3, 1994, petitioned to 
revoke the exemption and replied to CSS's petition to dismiss. 
Patrick W. Simmons, Illinois Legislative Board Director, United 
Transportation Union (Simmons), on November 9, 1994, petitioned to 
reject or revoke the exemption and replied to the petition to 
dismiss. CSS, on November 22, 1994, withdrew its petition to dismiss 
the exemption and submitted a copy of a CRL letter withdrawing the 
latter's petition to revoke. Thereafter, on November 29, 1994, CSS 
replied to Simmons' petition to reject or revoke and reply to CSS's 
petition to dismiss. Simmons' petition was considered as an appeal 
in a separate decision, and that decision is being served 
simultaneously with this notice of exemption.
