INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Finance Docket No. 32158 and Finance Docket No. 32305]

 

Gateway Western Railway Company--Construction--St. Clair County, 
IL, et al.; Construction Exemption

    The Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) hereby notifies all 
interested parties in this proceeding that SEA has prepared and made 
available a Supplemental Environmental Assessment (Supplemental EA) for 
the proceedings referenced above.
    The Gateway Western Railway Company (GWWR) and its subsidiary 
Gateway Eastern Railway Company (GWER) have petitioned the Interstate 
Commerce Commission in separate pleadings for authority to construct 
and operate connecting tracks, among other related actions, in East St. 
Louis, St. Clair County, Illinois. If the proposed segments are 
constructed, (1) GWWR would have a direct and efficient route to the 
CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) interchange at Cone Yard in East St. 
Louis and (2) GWWR, in conjunction with GWER trackage rights, would 
have direct and efficient access to Consolidated Rail Corporation's 
(Conrail) Rose Lake Yard in East St. Louis. The construction and 
operation of these two new connections would eliminate GWWR's current 
circuitous routings to its CSXT and Conrail interchanges.
    The Supplemental EA will be available on April 5, 1994. There will 
be a 30-day comment period. Comments on the Supplemental EA are due May 
5, 1994. To obtain copies of the Supplemental EA contact Ms. Judith 
Groves or Ms. Phillis Johnson-Ball, Interstate Commerce Commission, 
Section of Environmental Analysis, room 3219 Washington, DC 20423 at 
(202) 927-6245 or (202) 927-6213.

    By the Commission, Elaine K. Kaiser, Chief, Section of 
Environmental Analysis.
Sidney L. Strickland, Jr.,
Secretary.
