Iowa Northern Railway Company--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Iowa Northern Railway Company (IANR), a Class III rail carrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire 
and operate an 8,692-foot portion of rail line, known as the Bristow 
Subdivision, owned by Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP), between the 
crossing of the UP and IANR lines at MP 288.8 and the end of the 
Bristow Subdivision at approximately MP 287.4 (end of track) to the 
east of that crossing in Clarksville, IA.\1\ The transaction was 
expected to be consummated as soon as practicable after October 9, 
1997, the effective date of the exemption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ IANR states that, although the official UP milepost 
designations suggest a track length of 1.4 miles, IANR personnel 
have measured the track length as 8,692 feet, or approximately 1.6 
miles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. 33487, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit,1925 K Street, NW,

Cunningham, 1300 19th Street, N.W., Suite 600, Washington, DC 20036.

    Decided: October 9, 1997.

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