J.K. Lines, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Line of 
The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company

    J.K. Lines, Inc. (JK), a Class III rail carrier, has filed a notice 
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire and operate approximately 
2 miles of rail line, the track right-of-way, and certain adjacent real 
estate owned by The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company 
(BNSF).1 The line covers seven parcels extending from the 
end of BNSF's track in Joliette, ND, at milepost 179.55, south to the 
North Dakota Highway No. 5 right-of-way line, near milepost 177.44. 
J.K. Line will provide common carrier rail service on the involved line 
through a subcontractor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ J.K. Line certifies that the projected revenues do exceed 
those that would qualify as Class III rail carrier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after 
May 31, 1998.
    If this 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 does not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33605, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W.,
