Fulton Railroad Co., Ltd. (Fulton) has agreed to grant local and overhead trackage rights to Indiana & Ohio Railway Company (IORY), a Class III rail carrier, over Fulton's line of railroad from milepost 0.0 and continuing for 4,800 feet to the end of the track in the city of Cincinnati, Millcreek Township, Hamilton County, OH, a distance of 4,800 feet.

[[Page 76355]]

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board may not use its exemption authority to relieve a rail carrier of its statutory obligation to protect the interests of its employees. Section 11326(c), however, does not provide for labor protection for transactions under sections 11324 and 11325 that involve only Class III rail carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not impose labor protective conditions here because all of the carriers involved are Class III carriers.
