[STB Finance Docket No. 33481]


Marksman Corporation; Lease and Operation Exemption; J.K. Line, 
Inc.

    Marksman Corporation (Marksman), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from J.K. Line, Inc., 
and to operate 17 miles of rail line in the State of Indiana from 
milepost 183, near Monterey, to milepost 199, near North Judson.
    This transaction is related to the notice of exemption filed in STB 
Finance Docket No. 33483, The Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad 
Corporation-Continuance in Control Exemption-Marksman Corporation, for 
The Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad Corporation to continue in 
control of Marksman (once it becomes a carrier through consummation of 
the transaction in STB Finance Docket No. 33481), in addition to its 
indirect control of Toledo, Peoria & Western Railway Corporation (TPW 
Railway). 1 Because the exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 
33483 is not scheduled to become effective until October 14, 1997, the 
earliest the transaction in STB Finance Docket No. 33481 can be 
consummated is October 14, 1997.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Marksman owns 100% of the stock of TPW Railway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. 33481, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be 
served on Eric M. Hocky, Esq., Gollatz, Griffin & Ewing, P.C., 213 West 
Miner Street, P.O. Box 796, West Chester, PA 19381-0796.

    Decided: October 8, 1997.

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