[STB Finance Docket No. 33923]


Sandusky River Railroad Company, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Sandusky River Railroad Company, Inc. (SRRC), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire 
from Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS) and operate approximately 
7.47 miles of rail line in Fremont, Sandusky County, OH (line). The 
line is described as generally X-shaped and runs from milepost NS-
267.95 to milepost NS-265.60 and from milepost EW-25.50 to milepost EW-
20.38. In addition, the line will maintain an interchange with NS at 
EW-22.4 = T-37.2.
    The parties report that they intend to consummate the transaction 
within approximately sixty days of the date of the exemption. The 
earliest the transaction can be consummated is September 8, 2000, 7 
days after the exemption was filed.
    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 33924, Arthur 
J. Fournier--Continuance in Control Exemption--Sandusky River Railroad 
Company, Inc., wherein Arthur J. Fournier has concurrently filed a 
verified notice to continue in control of SRRC upon its becoming a 
Class III rail carrier.
    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. 33923, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW.,
