[STB Finance Docket No. 33746]


Mississippi Rail Group, Inc.--Lease Exemption--State of 
Mississippi

    Mississippi Rail Group, Inc. (MRG), a Class III rail carrier, has 
filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease from the 
State of Mississippi approximately 21.4 miles of rail line from 
milepost 0.2, at Aberdeen Junction, to milepost 21.66, at Kosciusko, in 
Holmes and Attala Counties, MS. MRG will be the operator of the line.
    MRG states that the lease of the rail line was consummated on or 
about October 27, 1998. MRG filed its verified notice of exemption with 
the Board on February 14, 2000. Thus, the effective date of the 
exemption is February 21, 2000 (7 days after the exemption was filed).
    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. 33746, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W., 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be 
served on Mr. David E. Delatte, Sr., President, Mississippi Rail Group, 
Inc., P.O. Box 278, Kosciusko, MS 39090.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our website at 
``WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.''

    Decided: February 24, 2000.

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