right to conduct common carrier freight operations over approximately 
48.9 miles of rail line extending between milepost CC-445.4 near 
Chattanooga, Hamilton County, TN, and milepost CC-396.5 near Lyerly, 
Chattanooga County, GA.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CCKY currently conducts operations over the line pursuant to 
its lease agreement with COG.

    The transaction was scheduled to take place as soon as possible 
after the December 17, 1998 effective date of the notice of exemption.
    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 33690, State

through its Department of Transportation is acquiring certain railroad 
assets of COG, including the above-noted 48.9-mile line of railroad, 
but not including the right to conduct common carrier freight

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.
