West Isle Line, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--The 
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company

    West Isle Line, Inc. (WIL), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from The Burlington 
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company and to operate approximately 5.25 
miles of rail line and associated assets between milepost 0+500 feet 
(milepost 0.09), at Stoil, CA, and milepost 5+2965.80 feet (milepost 
5.56), at Alpaugh, CA.
    The earliest the transaction could be consummated was December 22, 
1997, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the exemption 
was filed).
    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding 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. 33532, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W.,

served on Jeffrey O. Moreno, Esq., Donelan, Cleary, Wood & Maser, P.C., 
1100 New York Avenue, N.W., Suite 750, Washington, DC 20005-3934.

    Decided: January 7, 1998.

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