The total distance of rail lines to be purchased and operated by IRR is 41.89 miles.

Footnotes:

1 IRR's notice of exemption originally was filed on May 23, 2006, but wasamended on June 1 and June 5, 2006. Therefore, the official filing date for the notice of exemption is June 5, 2006.

IRR certifies that its projected revenues as a result of this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier.

IRR stated that the transaction would be consummated no sooner than 7 days after June 5, 2006.

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.
