[STB Finance Docket No. 34156]


Conemaugh & Black Lick Railroad Company LLC--Acquisition and 
Operation Exemption--Conemaugh & Black Lick Railroad Company

    Conemaugh & Black Lick Railroad Company LLC (Applicant), a 
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 
1150.31 to acquire from its corporate affiliate Conemaugh & Black Lick 
Railroad Company (CBL) \1\ and operate a 32-mile rail line in Cambria 
County, PA.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Both Applicant and CBL are wholly owned subsidiaries of 
Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
    \2\ Applicant states that the rail line is composed of yard and 
switching tracks and does not have assigned mileposts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was expected to be consummated as of January 1, 
2002. The earliest the transaction could have been consummated was 
December 26, 2001, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after 
the notice of exemption was filed).
    This transaction is related to Bethlehem Steel Corporation--
Corporate Family Transaction Exemption, STB Finance Docket No. 34142 
(STB served Jan. 10, 2002), through which CBL is to be merged into 
Applicant. The separate existence of CBL will cease and Applicant will 
be the surviving entity and continue the operations formerly provided 
by CBL.
    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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34156, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be 
served on Eric M. Hockey, Esq., Gollatz, Griffin & Ewing, P.C., 213 
West Miner Street, P.O. Box 796, West Chester, PA 19381-0796.
