[STB Finance Docket No. 34673]


C&J Railroad Company, d/b/a Mississippi Delta Railroad--
Acquisition and Operation Exemption--in Tallahatchie County, MS

    C&J Railroad Company, d/b/a Mississippi Delta Railroad (MSD), a 
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 
1150.31 to acquire by lease \1\ and operate 1,320 feet, or 0.25 miles, 
of track, including yard, lead and switching tracks (without assigned 
mileposts) that extends north beyond Canadian National Railway Company/
Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Company's milepost 104.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ MSD states that it has leased the rail line since July 1, 
2001, but that it will not commence operations until the effective 
date of this exemption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MSD certifies that its projected revenues as a result of the 
transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III 
carrier and will not exceed $5 million annually.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after April 
14, 2005, 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 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. 34673, 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 Reggie Howell, C&J Railroad 
Company, 1710-L East Tenth Street, Jeffersonville, IN 47130.

    Decided: April 27, 2005.

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