[STB Finance Docket No. 33930]


Claremont Concord Railroad Corporation--Operation Exemption--Line 
of the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation

    Claremont Concord Railroad Corporation (CCRR), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to 
operate pursuant to an agreement entered into with the State of New 
Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) approximately 2.8 miles 
 from milepost 140.00 to milepost 142.78 in West Lebanon, 
NH. CCRR 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.
    This transaction is related to a simultaneously filed notice of 
exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 33929, State of New Hampshire 
Department of Transportation--Acquisition Exemption--Line of Boston and 
Maine Corporation, wherein NHDOT seeks to acquire track owned and 
operated by Boston and Maine Corporation.
    The transaction is expected to be consummated on or shortly after 
October 6, 2000.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CCRR reported that it intended to consummate the transaction 
on or shortly after September 25, 2000. The earliest the transaction 
can be consummated is October 6, 2000, the effective of the 
exemption (7 days after the exemption was filed). CCRR's 
representative has been notified and has confirmed that consummation 
would not take place before October 6, 2000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 will not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33930, 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 James E. Howard, One Thompson Square, Suite 201, Charlestown, 
MA 02129.

    Decided: October 5, 2000.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.

Secretary.
