approximately 24.74 miles of rail line from the Lackawaxen-Honesdale 
Shippers Association (LHSA), in Wayne and Pike Counties, PA. The line, 
known as the Honesdale Branch, extends between milepost 110.26, in 
Lackawaxen, PA, and milepost 135.00 in Honesdale, PA.\1\

    SRC 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 earliest this transaction may be consummated is October 12, 
2007, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption 
was filed).
    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. Petitions for stay 
must be filed no later than October 5, 2007 (at least 7 days before the 
exemption becomes effective).

Finance Docket No. 35077, must be filed with the Surface Transportation
