Indiana Southern Railroad, Inc--Trackage Rights Exemption--
Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR), pursuant to a written 
trackage rights agreement entered into between NSR and Indiana Southern 
Railroad, Inc. (ISRR), has agreed to grant non-exclusive local trackage 
rights to ISRR over NSR's rail line between a point near Newburgh, IN, 
milepost 0.0, and Lynnville Mine, IN, milepost 21.9, a distance of 
approximately 21.9 miles.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after 
July 1, 2002, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the 
exemption was filed).
    The purpose of the trackage rights is to allow ISRR to enhance 
service for certain shippers and provide more efficient and economical 
routings and service for their traffic.
    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).
    The notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). 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. 34224, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a 
copy of each pleading must be served on Louis E. Gitomer, Ball Janik 
LLP, 1455 F Street, NW., Suite 225, Washington, DC 20005.

    Decided: July 1, 2002.

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