Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Mississippi-Alabama Railroad Authority (MARA), a noncarrier, has 
filed an amended notice of exemption1 to acquire approximately 
41.5 miles of rail line owned by Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS) 
between milepost IC-529.5 at Corinth, MS, and milepost IC-571.0 at Red 
Bay, AL.2

    \1\The notice of exemption was originally filed on November 15, 
1994. MARA filed a letter, on December 5, 1994, requesting a delay 
in the publication of this and two related notices of exemption. 
MARA claimed that it needed to meet state requirements following 
enactment of enabling legislation by Alabama and Mississippi 
authorizing the creation of MARA. On February 8, 1995, MARA filed 
this amended notice of exemption.
    \2\The 41.5-mile line segment is within a NS rail line that is 
the subject of a feeder line application in Sunshine Mills, Inc.--

supporter of the instant acquisition, is expected to request 
dismissal of the pending application.
