KY.

[[Page 47234]]

    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on September 2, 
1996.
    The trackage rights will enable CSXT to rationalize excess 
facilities in its underutilized 18-mile line of railroad between 
Madisonville and Moorman, KY, which runs north of and parallel to the 
P&L line.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the

modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 
653 (1980).

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.
