[STB Finance Docket No. 34035]


The Central Illinois Railroad Company-Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption-Rail Lines of Union Pacific Railroad Company and Canadian 
Pacific Rail System at Elk Grove Village, Cook and DuPage Counties, IL

    The Central Illinois Railroad Company (CIRY), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire by lease and operate rail lines owned by the Union Pacific 
Railroad Company (UP) and the Canadian Pacific Rail System (CP). CIRY 
describes the track in greater detail as follows: the Centex Industrial 
Park Trackage owned by UP, or jointly by UP and CP, beginning at the 
west edge of York Road, which is the west end of UP's approximately 
800-foot Elk Grove lead track that extends from UP's Milwaukee 
Subdivision, at milepost 7.8, consisting of approximately 25 miles of 
tracks.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On April 25, 2001, a petition to stay the effective date of 
the exemption was filed by Joseph C. Szabo, for and on behalf of 
United Transportation Union-Illinois Legislative Board. The petition 
for stay was denied in The Central Illinois Railroad Company-
Acquisition and Operation Exemption-Rail Lines of Union Pacific 
Railroad Company and Canadian Pacific Rail System at Elk Grove 
Village, Cook and DuPage Counties, IL, STB Finance Docket No. 34035 
(STB served Apr. 27, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated no earlier than 
April 30, 2001, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the 
exemption was filed).
    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.
