Exemption-Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Company

    Lapeer Industrial Railroad Company (LIRR), a noncarrier, has filed 
a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and operate 
approximately 1.34 miles of rail line owned by Adrian & Blissfield Rail 
Road Company (ADBF). The line, known as the ``Lapeer Spur,'' is part of 
Grand Trunk Western Railroad Incorporated's (GTW) Lapeer Subdivision at 
Lapeer, in Lapeer County, MI, and runs between milepost 56.28 and 
milepost 57.62. LIRR will also acquire the right to operate 
approximately .88 miles of rail line which ADBF currently leases from 
GTW, known as the ``Flint Subdivision'' at Lapeer, in Lapeer County, 
MI. The leased line is part of GTW's second main line, and runs between 
milepost 289.90 and milepost 290.78.\1\ LIRR certifies that its 
projected revenues as a result of this transaction will not result in 
the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier, and further 
certifies that its projected annual revenues will not exceed $5 
million.
