Decatur Junction Railway Co.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Line of Illinois Central Railroad Company

    Decatur Junction Railway Co. (DJR), a Class III rail carrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire 
from Illinois Central Railroad Company (IC), and to operate, 
approximately 4.4 miles of rail line between milepost 745.54 near Elwin 
and milepost 749.94 near Decatur, in Macon County, Ill. (the Line).
    DJR currently leases from IC, and operates, 17 miles of rail line 
between milepost 745.54 near Elwin and milepost 728.0 near Assumption, 
Ill.\1\ DJR also has incidental trackage rights over the Line and over 
IC's trackage north of milepost 749.94 for purposes of interchange with 
IC at Decatur, Ill., and for transit of DJR's equipment to DJR's line 
between Decatur and Cisco, Ill.

    \1\ See Decatur Terminal Ry.--Lease and Operation Exemption--
Lines in Illinois, FD 32365 (ICC served Oct. 18, 1993, as corrected 
Oct. 26, 1993).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DJR states that, pursuant to an agreement between the parties, DJR 
intends to purchase, operate, maintain, and perform all rail common 
carrier service on the Line. DJR also states that the agreement 
contains no restrictions on interchange, and that it will operate the 
Line as part of its existing rail line between Elwin and Assumption.
    The transaction is expected to be consummated on or about November 
12, 2012. The earliest this transaction can be consummated is November 
10, 2012, the effective date of the exemption.
    DJR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not result in DJR's becoming a Class II or Class 
I rail carrier. DJR further certifies that it projected annual revenues 
will not exceed $5 million.
    If the verified 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. Petitions to stay must be filed no later than November 2, 
2012 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35682, 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 Daniel A. LaKemper, General Counsel, Decatur 
Junction Railway Co., 1318 S. Johanson Road, Peoria, IL 61607.
