[Docket No. FD 35910]


Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Company--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Rail Line of Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Company (IHB), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to lease from Norfolk Southern Railway Company, and to operate, a 0.87-
mile line of railroad (including branch lines) known as the Old Hammond 
Industrial Track, between milepost UO 0.03 and milepost UO 0.9 
(including the underlying right-of-way between milepost UO 0.06 and 
milepost UO 0.9) in Cook County, Ill.
    IHB certifies that the projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class 
I rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million. According to IHB, the 
lease does not contain any provision or agreement that may limit future 
interchange of traffic with a third-party connecting carrier.
    The proposed transaction may be consummated on or after April 15, 
2015, the effective date of this exemption (30 days after the verified 
notice was filed). 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 by April 8, 2015 (at 
least seven days prior to the date the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35910, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW.,
