railroad located at the former Savanna Army Ammo Depot near Savanna, 
IL, and adjacent to the Chicago Twin Cities main line of The Burlington 
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) at BNSF milepost 156.9.

Exemption--Jo-Davies/Carrol County Local Re-Development Authority, 
STB Finance Docket No. 33799 (STB served Sept. 16, 1999).

    Riverport certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result 
of this transaction will not exceed $5 million, and thus the 
transaction will not result in the creation of a Class I or Class II 
rail carrier.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after April 
15, 2004.
    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.

Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one
