Motive Rail, Inc. d/b/a Missouri North Central Railroad--Lease 
and Operation Exemption--Illinois Central Railroad Company

    Motive Rail, Inc. d/b/a Missouri North Central Railroad (MNCR), a 
Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 
49 CFR 1150.41 to lease from Illinois Central Railroad Company 
(ICRR),\1\ and to operate approximately 1.6 miles of rail line (the 
Line), known as the CN Eldorado Subdivision, between mileposts 110.9 
and 112.5 in Galatia, Ill.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ICRR is a subsidiary of Canadian National Railway Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MNCR currently holds authority to operate approximately 7.75 miles 
of rail line in northern Missouri and a terminal switching operation on 
Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The purpose of this transaction is to allow 
MNCR to provide switching services for American Coal, the principal 
shipper in Galatia.
    The transaction may be consummated on or after December 6, 2015, 
the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the verified notice 
of exemption was filed).
    MNCR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not exceed $5 million or result in the creation 
of a Class II or Class I rail carrier.
    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 for stay must be filed no later than November 27, 
2015 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and ten copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket 
No. FD 35969, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 
E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each 
pleading must be served on John D. Heffner, Strasburger & Price, LLP, 
1025 Connecticut Ave. NW., Suite 717, Washington, DC 20036.
