DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Surface Transportation Board 1
[STB Finance Docket No. 32999]


Nebraska Northeastern Railway Company; Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption; Burlington Northern Railroad Company

    Nebraska Northeastern Railway Company (NNR), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire 
and operate approximately 120.4 miles of rail line from Burlington 
Northern Railroad Company, between milepost 4.0 near Ferry Station, NE, 
and milepost 124.4 2 at O'Neill, NE. The transaction was to have 
been consummated on or after July 19, 1996.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The ICC Termination Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-88, 109 
Stat. 803, which was enacted on December 29, 1995, and took effect 
on January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate Commerce Commission and 
transferred certain functions to the Surface Transportation Board 
(Board). This notice relates to functions that are subject to Board 
jurisdiction pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10901.
    \2\ NNR erroneously has indicated the milepost at O'Neill to be 
milepost 120.4. Their map, however, indicates O'Neill at milepost 
124.4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This proceeding is related to TNW Corporation--Continuance in 
Control Exemption--Nebraska Northeastern Railway Company, STB Finance 
Docket No. 33000, wherein TNW Corporation has concurrently filed a 
verified notice to continue to control NNR, upon its becoming a Class 
III rail carrier.
    If the 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. An original and 10 
copies of all pleadings, referring to STB Finance Docket No. 32999, 
must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, Office of the 
Secretary, Case Control Branch, 1201 Constitution Avenue, N.W., 
Washington, DC 20423 and served on: Eugenia Langan, Shea & Gardner, 
1800 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20036.

    Decided: July 19, 1996.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
