[STB Finance Docket No. 34040]


Riverview Trenton Railroad Company--Petition for Exemption From 
49 U.S.C. 10901 To Acquire and Operate a Rail Line in Wayne County, MI

    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Surface Transportation Board 
(Board) is granting an exemption from the licensing provisions of 49 
U.S.C. 10901 to the Riverview Trenton Railroad Company (RTR) to allow 
RTR to begin operation as a new railroad over 1.45 miles of track 
located on a site formerly owned by the McLouth Steel Company in the 
towns of Riverview and Trenton in Wayne County, Michigan. On this site, 
RTR plans to establish an intermodal terminal involving the interchange 
of rail, motor, and possibly at some undetermined future date, barge 
traffic. RTR also plans to transport traffic for the Detroit Steel 
Center, a steel mini-mill operating on an adjacent site. RTR seeks to 
interchange rail cars with line haul carriers operating adjacent to 
RTR.

    In granting this exemption, the Board has analyzed a substantial 
record generated by RTR and opponents of the exemption. The analysis 
appears in a decision that is being issued simultaneously with the 
publication of this notice. That decision subjects RTR's project to 
comprehensive environmental, monitoring, and reporting conditions.
    The decision is available on the Board's Web site at 
www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided: May 9, 2003.

    By the Board, Chairman Nober and Commissioner Morgan.

Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
