The Indiana Rail Road Company--Acquisition Exemption--Line of 
Monon Rail Preservation Corporation

    The Indiana Rail Road Company (INRD), a Class III rail carrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire 
from Monon Rail Preservation Corporation (Monon), approximately 3.98 
miles of rail line between milepost Q217.67 at Hunters, IN, and 
milepost Q213.69 at Ellettsville, IN, in Monroe County, IN. In 2001, 
INRD entered into an operating agreement with Monon, whereby INRD 
became the operator of the line.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In a decision in this proceeding served on November 22, 
2004, the Board granted a request by INRD for waiver of the 60-day 
advance labor notice requirement of 49 CFR 1150.42(e).
    \2\ See The Indiana Rail Road Company--Operation Exemption--
Monon Rail Preservation Corporation, STB Finance Docket No. 33670 
(STB served Feb. 21, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    INRD certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class I or Class 
II rail carrier.
    INRD indicates that the parties would like to consummate the 
transaction on or shortly after December 6, 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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34531, 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 John Broadley, 1054 31st
