    Illinois Central Railroad Company d/b/a Canadian National Railway 
Company (CN) has agreed to grant overhead trackage rights to Union 
Pacific Railroad Company (UP) over CN's line of railroad between CN's 
connection with UP at CN milepost 228.9, near Kinmundy, IL, and the 
north end of Laclede Siding at CN milepost 214.6, near Laclede, IL, a 
distance of approximately 14.3 miles.
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on the June 8, 2005 
effective date of the exemption.
    The purpose of the trackage rights is to permit UP to operate over 
the CN trackage to interchange with CN at an alternate location when 
interchange at Salem, IL, is precluded.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
acquisition of the trackage rights will be protected by the conditions 
imposed in Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 
605 (1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and 
Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). If it 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.

Finance Docket No. 34711 must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
