Ohio Southern Railroad, Incorporated--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--CSX Transportation, Inc.

    Ohio Southern Railroad, Incorporated (OSRR), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire by purchase from CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) and operate 
approximately 1.5-route miles of rail line, including connecting track, 
located between milepost 16.7 and milepost 18.2, in Zanesville, 
Muskingum County, OH (Subject Line). In addition, OSRR will acquire 
incidental overhead trackage rights over approximately 2.4 miles of 
CSXT's main line track and access over the transfer tracks in the 
Zanesville area.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In a related proceeding, OSRR has agreed to grant certain 
overhead trackage rights over the Subject Line to CSXT to enable 
CSXT to continue providing service to its existing customers. See 
STB Finance Docket No. 33962, CSX Transportation, Inc.--Trackage 
Rights Exemption--Ohio Southern Railroad, Incorporated.

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on November 22, 
2000, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the exemption 
was filed).

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.
