[STB Finance Docket No. 33127]


Shawnee Terminal Railway Company, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Cairo Terminal Railroad Company

    Shawnee Terminal Railway Company, Inc. (Shawnee), a noncarrier, 
newly-established to become shortline railroad, has filed a verified 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and operate a 2.5-
mile line of railroad from Cairo Terminal Railroad Company (Cairo) 
between milepost 256.9 and milepost 259.4 at Cairo, IL. In addition, 
Shawnee will acquire, by assignment, Cairo's incidental trackage rights 
allowing overhead operation over approximately 4.5 miles of line of the 
Illinois Central Railroad Company between milepost 500 and Cairo, IL. 
The trackage rights will facilitate interchange and access to yard and 
industry tracks.
    The transaction was expected to be consummated as soon as possible 
after the October 2, 1996 effective date of the exemption.
    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. 
The filing of a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the 
transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33127, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, 1201 Constitution 
Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20423. In addition, a copy of each 
pleading must be served on Keith G. O'Brien, Esq., Rea, Cross & 
Auchincloss, Suite 420, 1920 N Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20036.

    Decided: October 4, 1996.

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