CSX Transportation, Inc.--Trackage Rights Exemption--Louisville & 
Indiana Railroad Company

    Louisville & Indiana Railroad Company (LIRC) has agreed to grant to 
CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) trackage rights over LIRC's line 
between milepost 110.56, at Louisville, KY, and milepost 4.0, at 
Indianapolis, IN, a distance of approximately 106.5 miles (line).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Redacted versions of two Trackage Rights Agreements between 
CSXT and LIRC (agreements) were filed with the verified notice of 
exemption. Unredacted versions of the agreements, as required by 49 
CFR 1180.6(a)(7)(ii), were concurrently filed under seal along with 
a motion for a protective order. That motion has been granted in a 
separate decision and a protective order in this proceeding is being 
served on June 15, 2001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on June 15, 2001. 
The trackage rights will allow CSXT to operate efficiently between 
Louisville and Indianapolis.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk 
and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 
modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 
653 (1980).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). If it 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. 33744, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW.,
