Falls Road Railroad Co., Inc.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Consolidated Rail Corporation

    Falls Road Railroad Co., Inc. (FRRR), a noncarrier, has filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and 
operate the line of railroad now owned and operated by Consolidated 
Rail Corporation (Conrail) known as the Falls Road Secondary Track, 
extending from milepost 58.29, at Lockport, to milepost 
16.60, at Brockport, in Niagara, Orleans, and Monroe 
Counties, NY, a total of 41.69 route miles. In addition, FRRR will 
acquire operating easements only between mileposts 16.60 
and 16.92 (owned by, or to be conveyed by Conrail to, 
Monroe County) and between mileposts 45.01 and 
45.53 (owned by, or to be conveyed by Conrail to, the 
adjoining landowner).
    Operations were expected to commence on or after October 24, 1996.
