Lexington & Ohio Railroad Co., Inc.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Lexington & Ohio Railroad Co., Inc. (L&O), a noncarrier, has filed 
a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and 
operate approximately 14.9 miles of rail line owned by Norfolk Southern 
Railway Company from milepost 23.9LL in Lexington, KY, to milepost 
9.0LL in Versailles, KY, in Fayette and Woodford Counties, KY.
    The transaction was expected to be consummated on or after May 10, 
1996.
    This proceeding is related to H. Peter Claussen and Linda C. 
Claussen--Continuance in Control Exemption--Lexington & Ohio Railroad 
Co., Inc., STB Finance Docket No. 32901, wherein H. Peter Claussen and 
Linda C. Claussen have concurrently filed a verified notice to continue 
to control L&O, upon its becoming a Class III rail carrier.
    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding to 
revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time.
