CSX Transportation, Inc.--Trackage Rights Exemption--The Indiana 
Rail Road Company

    Pursuant to a written trackage rights agreement, The Indiana Rail 
Road Company (INRD) has agreed to grant limited overhead trackage 
rights to CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), over a line of railroad 
known as INRD's Chicago Subdivision, between the connection of CSXT and 
INRD trackage at ConMil at approximate INRD milepost 175.5 and the 
connection of CSXT and INRD trackage at approximate INRD milepost 
181.7, a distance of 6.2 miles, all in Terre Haute, Vigo County, IN.
    This transaction is scheduled to be consummated on July 29, 2007, 
the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption was 
filed).
    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed notice of 
exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 35059, The Indiana Rail Road 
Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--CSX Transportation, Inc., wherein 
INRD seeks to acquire and operate over 22.5 miles of rail line over 
CSXT's CE&D Subdivision, between the connection of CSXT and INRD 
trackage at Belt Junction, Terre Haute, at approximate milepost OZA 
181.70, and the connection of CSXT and INRD trackage at Sullivan, IN, 
at approximate milepost OZA 204.20.
    The purpose of the trackage rights is to enable CSXT crews to 
operate trains in overhead movements between points on CSXT's CE&D 
Subdivision, south of Terre Haute, and points on CSXT's St. Louis Line 
Subdivision, west of Terre Haute, in order to improve traffic flow 
(including reduction of railroad and vehicular congestion) and further 
improve the safety of CSXT operations in and around Terre Haute.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by 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 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 effectiveness of the exemption. Stay petitions 
must be filed by July 20, 2007 (at least 7 days before the exemption 
becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 35058, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a 
copy of each pleading must be served on Steven C. Armbrust, Esq., CSX 
Transportation, Inc., 500 Water Street, J-150, Jacksonville, FL 32202.
