CSX Transportation, Inc.--Trackage Rights Exemption--Norfolk and 
Western Railway Company--Chicago, IL

    CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) has filed a verified notice under 
49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) to acquire overhead trackage rights from Norfolk 
and Western Railway Company (NW) over approximately 8,100 feet between 
the trackage connection of NW and the Belt Railway Company of Chicago 
(BRC) at the 80th Street Interlocking and the trackage connection of NW 
and BRC at the Belt Junction Interlocking, in Chicago, IL. The trackage 
rights are scheduled to become effective on February 8, 1996.
    The notice states that the CSXT's use of the NW track will allow 
CSXT to provide double stack service, thereby increasing intermodal 
competition by providing more efficient service.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk 
and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 
modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 354 I.C.C. 
732 (1978) and 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).
    If the notice contains false or misleading information, the 
exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 
U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to 
revoke will not automatically stay the transaction.
    Any pleadings must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 
Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, 1201 Constitution Avenue, 
N.W., Washington, DC 20423 and served on: John W. Humes, Jr., Senior 
Counsel, CSX Transportation, Inc., 500 Water Street, J-150, 
Jacksonville, FL 32202.

    Decided: January 30, 1996.

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