    Pursuant to a written supplemental agreement dated January 15, 
2008, CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) has agreed to amend an existing 
written master trackage rights agreement with R.J. Corman Railroad 
Company/Central Kentucky Lines, LLC (RJCC) and grant additional 
overhead trackage rights to RJCC extending between CSXT milepost VB 
113.81 at Winchester, KY, and CSXT milepost KC 131.0 at Berea, KY, a 
distance of approximately 35 miles.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The original trackage rights were exempted in CSX

Kentucky Lines, LLC--Trackage Rights Exemption--CSX Transportation, 
Inc., STB Finance Docket No. 34420 (STB served November 12, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The earliest this transaction can be consummated is May 1, 2008, 
the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption is 
filed).
    The amendment to the existing trackage rights agreement will permit 
RJCC to haul carloads of sand from Lexington, KY, to Berea, KY, in 
single line service.
    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 April 24, 2008 (at least 7 days before the exemption 
becomes effective).
    Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Pub. L. 110-
161, section 193, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007), nothing in this decision 
authorizes the following activities at any solid waste rail transfer 
facility: collecting, storing, or transferring solid waste outside of 
its original shipping container; or separating or processing solid 
waste (including baling, crushing, compacting, and shredding). The term 
``solid waste'' is defined in section 1004 of the Solid Waste Disposal 
Act, 42 U.S.C. 6903.
