Squaw Creek Southern Railroad, Inc.--Operation Exemption--Line of 
Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Squaw Creek Southern Railroad, Inc. (SCS),\1\ a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire 
nonexclusive trackage rights and to operate approximately 21.3 miles of 
railroad owned by Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS), in Warrick 
County, IN, between milepost 0.6, at or near Yankeetown Dock, and 
milepost 21.9, at or near Lynnville Mine. SCS certifies that its 
projected revenues as a result of this transaction will not exceed 
those that would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier and that such 
revenues would not exceed $5 million.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ SCS states that it has entered into a trackage and 
interchange agreement with NS permitting SCS to operate the rail 
line. SCS will be able to interchange with NS at Boonville, IN.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated no earlier than 
July 19, 2002. The earliest the transaction could have been consummated 
was July 18, 2002, 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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34230, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one 
copy of each pleading must be served on Andrew P. Goldstein, McCarthy, 
Sweeney & Harkaway, P.C., 2175 K Street, NW., Suite 600, NW.,
