Big 4 will connect with WBRC and conduct terminal switching operations at Craigville in order to improve switching service to shippers served by these facilities. WBRC will continue to operate over the remaining portion of the line. 1 The line was formerly owned by Wabash Central, L.L.C., a Class III rail carrier. In *RMW Ventures, L.L.C.-Corporate Family Transaction Exemption-C&NC, L.L.C., Maumee & Western, L.L.C., and Wabash Central, L.L.C.,* STB Finance Docket No. 33541 (STB served Mar. 10, 1998), Wabash Central, L.L.C., along with two other Class III rail carriers, was merged into RMW. 2 In 1998, WBRC acquired operating rights over a 26.4-mile line of railroad, including the segment involved here, and incidental trackage rights between Craigville, IN (milepost 117.8), and Van Buren, IN (milepost 108.6). *See Wabash Central Railroad Corporation-Operation Exemption-Wabash Central, L.L.C.,* STB Finance Docket No. 33536 (STB served Jan. 16, 1998). The effective date of the exemption was January 30, 2003 (7 days after the notice was filed) and the parties expected to consummate the transaction on or after January 31, 2003. If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void *ab initio.* Petitions to reopen the proceeding 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.
