Ms. Anne-Marie Erickson - Secretary NATIONALENERGYBOARD 444 Seventh Avenue SW

Calgary, T2P 0X8 > -

Dear Ms. Erickson:

SUBJECT: APPLICATION by National Railway Company pursuant to section 21.2 of the Nationa/EnergyBoardAct for an authorization to transfer International Power Line Permit (EPE-69) and Border Accommodation Permit (EPE-70).

This is to notify you of a recent merger that requires Canadian National Railway Company (“CN”) to seek authorization to transfer the above-mentioned permits issued to the St. Clair Tunnel Company (“SCTC”) on March 31, 1st 1995.

The SCTC is incorporated under the laws of Michigan and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Grant Trunk Corporation itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of CN. On September 1st 2008, CN has proceeded to the merger of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Incorporated (“GTW”), which is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the , into and with SCTC. Although SCTC has retained its legal personality, the merged corporation has been renamed for marketing purposes “Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company”. This company continues to be organized under the laws of Michigan.

In accordance with section 21.2 of the National Energy BoardAcl it will therefore be required that the Board authorizes the transfer of both SCTC’s permits to reflect the name change of this corporation.

For your review, you will find enclosed a copy of the certificates of merger issued by the Delaware and Michigan authorities. We also enclose a copy of the decision of the Canadian Transportation Agency that amended CN’s certificate of fitness issued under the Canada Transpo#ationActafter this merger was completed. March 23, 2010 Page 2

We remain available to provide any additional information the NEB may require.

Yours truly,

Eric Harvey End. ,
