INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 31561 (Sub-No. 1)] 1

    \1\ This filing notices an amendment to a trackage rights

Rail Corporation--Trackage Rights Exemption--Boston and Maine 
Corporation and Springfield Terminal Railway Company, Finance Docket 
No. 31561 (ICC served Nov. 16, 1989). It extends the contract term 
of the agreement to June 30, 1996, and authorizes the movement over

England area for the account of United Parcel Service and the 
movement of other intermodal traffic destined to or originating at

agreement only authorized the movement of finished motor vehicles in 
multi-level cars for the account of Ford Motor Company.

9, 1995.2

    \2\ The United Transportation Union (UTU) has petitioned to 
revoke the notice of exemption or, in the alternative, to stay the 
exemption. Because the exemption became effective 7 days after 
filing, the UTU filing will be handled as a petition to revoke in a 
separate decision.

    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). 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. The filing of a petition to revoke will not stay 
the transaction. Pleadings must be filed with the Commission and served 
on: John J. Paylor, Consolidated Rail Corporation, 2001 Market Street, 
16A, P.O. Box 41416, Philadelphia, PA 19101-1416.
    As a condition to the use of this exemption, any employees 
adversely affected by the trackage rights will be protected under

(1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate,
