[STB Finance Docket No. 34757]


North American Industrial Railway, Inc.--Acquisition and 
Operation Exemption--Corn Products International, Inc., and Chicago, 
Peoria & Western Railway, Inc.

    North American Industrial Railway, Inc. (NAIR), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire 
exclusive operating rights over approximately 17 miles of rail line 
(including sidings and interchange tracks), owned by Corn Products 
International, Inc. (CPI), and CPI's affiliate, Chicago, Peoria & 
Western Railway, Inc. (CPW),\1\ in Cook County, IL. The trackage serves 
the Argo Facility, owned by CPI, in Bedford Park, IL,\2\ and is not 
designated by milepost markings. NAIR will operate over the rail 
property pursuant to an operating agreement with CPI and CPW.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CPW owns 3,000 feet of the subject trackage, which provides 
access to the connection with the Belt Railway of Chicago. The 
balance of the trackage is owned by CPI.
    \2\ The trackage also serves another shipper located there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NAIR certifies that its projected revenues as a result of the 
transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III 
rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
    Consummation was scheduled to take place on or after September 18, 
2005 (the exemption became effective September 16, 2005, 7 days after 
filing).
    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. 34757, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one
