[STB Finance Docket No. 34894]


Rail + Transload, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Rail 
Line of Tower Investments, LLC

    Rail + Transload, Inc. (RTI), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 
notice of exemption \1\ under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Tower 
Investments, LLC (TIL), and to operate approximately 1,100 feet (0.208 
miles) of railroad track that extends from a point of connection with 
the Waterloo Spur of Canadian Pacific Railway Company (CPR) to a 
terminus approximately 200 feet northeast of the plant site of 
Specialty Ingredients, LLC (SIL), at Watertown, Jefferson County, 
Wisconsin.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ While initially filed on June 19, 2006, the notice has been 
corrected by filings on June 22, 2006, and June 26, 2006.
    \2\ RTI and SIL are commonly controlled by TIL. The track is 
currently private track owned by TIL and used by CPR to provide rail 
service to SIL. Because this acquisition is RTI's initial rail 
acquisition and operation, RTI filed this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    RTI certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class 
I rail carrier.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after July 3, 
2006, the effective date of the exemption.
    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

[[Page 42440]]

a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34894, 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 Thomas F. McFarland, Thomas F. 
McFarland, P.C., 208 South LaSalle Street, Suite 1890, Chicago, IL 
60604-1112.
