SUMMARY: The Board, under 49 U.S.C. 10502, exempts from the prior 
approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10902 the lease and operation by 
Nebraska Central Railroad Company of three branch lines of Union 
Pacific Railroad Company consisting of: (1) a line of railroad 
extending from milepost 83.3 to milepost 80.0 (approximately 3.3 
miles); (2) a line of railroad extending from milepost 46.1 to milepost 
43.44 (approximately 2.7 miles); and (3) the Norfolk Branch extending 
from milepost 0.0 to milepost 46.1 (approximately 1.5 miles),2 in 
Norfolk, NE.

    \2\ The mileposts here describe locations on separate branch 
lines. Thus, the mileage between these two points is actually about 
1.5 miles, and not 46.1 miles.
