Clark County, Washington--Acquisition Exemption--Burlington 
Northern Santa Fe Railroad

    Clark County, Washington (CCW), a Class III rail carrier, has filed 
a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41: (1) to acquire a 
total of approximately 3.6 miles of rail line owned by Burlington 
Northern Santa Fe Railroad and located in Clark County, Washington, 
between milepost 3.62 at Rye and milepost 0.0 at Vancouver Junction 
(the Rye Branch). The proposed transaction was to be consummated on 
December 6, 1996, or as soon thereafter as the selected operator's 
exemption becomes effective.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CCW is seeking acquisition authority only. The future 
operator of the Rye Branch, once selected by CCW, will file its own 
Verified Notice of Exemption for operating authority over the Rye 
Branch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. 33303, 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: Kevin M. Sheys, 
Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly, 1020 Nineteenth Street, N.W., Washington, 
DC 20036.

    Decided: December 16, 1996.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
