[STB Finance Docket No. 34262]


Illinois Indiana Development Company, LLC--Acquisition and 
Operation Exemption--Chicago SouthShore & South Bend Railroad Co.

    Illinois Indiana Development Company, LLC (IIDC), a Class III 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire and operate approximately 6.2 miles of rail line from 
Chicago SouthShore & South Bend Railroad Co. (CSS). The rail line 
extends approximately from 115th Street in Chicago, IL (milepost 0.0) 
to the Illinois-Indiana state line in Burnham, IL, opposite Hammond, IN 
(milepost 6.2). IIDC certifies that its projected revenues as a result 
of this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or 
Class I rail carrier.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after October 
9, 2002, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the 
exemption was filed).
    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 34263, 
Chicago SouthShore & South Bend Railroad Co.--Operation Exemption--
Illinois Indiana Development Company, LLC, wherein CSS has concurrently 
filed a verified notice of exemption to conduct

freight operations over the line being acquired by IIDC.\1\

    \1\ The parties state that CSS will have a nonexclusive right to 
conduct freight operations over the described line, and that IIDC 
will retain the right to operate over the line contemporaneously 
with CSS.

    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 transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34262, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one
