Luzerne and Susquehanna Railway Company--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Luzerne County Rail Corporation, F & L Realty, Inc., and 
SLIBCO Utilities, Inc.

    Luzerne and Susquehanna Railway Company (LS), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to lease and operate certain lines of Luzerne County Rail Corporation 
(LCRC), F & L Realty, Inc. (F & L), and SLIBCO Utilities, Inc. 
(SLIBCO), located in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties, PA. The proposed 
transaction was to have been consummated as soon as possible after the 
January 20, 1997 effective date of the exemption.
    The lines involved are described as follows: (1) approximately 1.7 
miles of rail line owned by LCRC and F & L between milepost 10.0 at the 
north side of Montage Road Crossing and milepost 10.5 at Little 
Virginia (the Dunmore Secondary Track); and between milepost 3.7 at 
Little Virginia and milepost 2.5 at Runaround Switch (the Brady 
Industrial Track); and (2) the Minooka Industrial Track owned by SLIBCO 
for its entire 1.5-mile length from Runaround Switch to the end of the 
track at Davis Street (the Minooka line). LS will lease and operate 
rail lines totaling approximately 3.2 miles.
    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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33338, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, 1201 Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20423 and served on: Eric B. Lee, Esq., 501 
Plaza Drive, Vestal, NY 13850.

    Decided: January 27, 1997.

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