    Pursuant to a written trackage rights agreement dated July 13, 
2009, Illinois Central Railroad Company (IC) has agreed to grant 
Chicago Central & Pacific Railroad Company (CCP) nonexclusive trackage 
rights over IC's line of railroad between milepost 8.3 (Belt Crossing) 
at Chicago, IL, and milepost 2.1 at 16th Street in Chicago, on IC's 
Freeport Subdivision, and between milepost 1.5 at 16th Street in 
Chicago and milepost 31.6 (Stuenkel Road) at University Park, IL, on 
IC's Chicago Subdivision, a distance of approximately 36.3 miles, all 
in the State of Illinois.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A redacted version of the trackage rights agreement between 
IC and CCP was filed with the notice of exemption. The full version 
of the agreement, as required by 49 CFR 1180.6(a)(7)(ii), was 
concurrently filed under seal along with a motion for protective 
order. The motion is being addressed in a separate decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or about 
September 3, 2009, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after 
the exemption is filed). The purpose of the trackage rights is to 
enable CCP to efficiently handle freight movements between Belt 
Crossing, Chicago, and University Park. The transaction also extends to 
all industry spurs, connecting tracks and sidings now existent or 
hereafter constructed along the tracks to be used here, and right-of-
way for the tracks to be used here, signals, interlocking devices and 
plants, telegraph and telephone lines, and other appurtenances 
necessary to the use of those tracks.
    This is one of 17 notices of exemption for trackage rights in the 
Chicago area submitted simultaneously by carrier subsidiaries of the 
Canadian National Railway Company (CN). We note that the involved lines 
of railroad were examined as part of the project area in Canadian 
National Railway Company and Grand Trunk Corporation--Control--EJ&E

explained how the notices relate to each other, or how they would 
impact the operational information provided to the Board in CN--EJ&E. 
CN and its carrier subsidiaries are directed to submit this 
information, as well as a color-coded map showing all 17 proposed 
trackage rights exemptions, by August 21, 2009.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
acquisition of 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 August 27, 2009 (at least 7 days before the exemption 
becomes effective).
    Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 
110-161, Sec.  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
