CSX Transportation, Inc.--Trackage Rights Exemption--Norfolk 
Southern Railway Company

    Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS) has agreed to grant overhead 
trackage rights to CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), to operate its 
trains, locomotives, cars and equipment with CSXT's own crews over NS's 
Track #A1 at Petersburg, VA, from the connection between CSXT and NS at 
or near milepost P004.85 to the connection with the industrial trackage 
of Chaparral Steel Corporation (CSC).
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after 
December 27, 1999.
    The purpose of the trackage rights is to allow CSC to have two rail 
carriers serve its Petersburg facility. CSXT's trackage rights will be 
restricted to service to CSC, its existing and future subsidiary 
companies, or other supporting companies located on the industrial 
trackage of CSC, and the successor and assigns of those companies.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk 
and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 
modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.-Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 
(1980).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). If it contains 
false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. 
Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
