West Virginia State Rail Authority--Acquisition Exemption--CSX 
Transportation, Inc.

    West Virginia State Rail Authority, a Class III rail common 
carrier, for and on behalf of the State of West Virginia, has filed a 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire 29.59 miles of rail 
line from CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) from milepost BUI-0.0, at 
Tygart Junction, to milepost BUI-28.4, at Elkins (known as the 
Belington Subdivision), and from milepost BUM-0.0, at Huttonsville 
Junction, to milepost BUM-1.19, at Elkins Junction, in Barbour and 
Randolph Counties, WV. CSXT will continue to be the operator of the 
property.
    The transaction is expected to be consummated on or about July 4, 
1997.
    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 does not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33421, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W.,
