[STB Finance Docket No. 33642]


Kyle Railroad Company--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Omaha 
Public Power District

    Kyle Railroad Company (KR),1 a Class III rail carrier, 
has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire 
pursuant to a rail transportation agreement and operate approximately 
56.75 miles of rail line as indicated by KR in its notice, which is 
owned by Omaha Public Power District (OPPD),2 between 
milepost 56.30 at Collegeview, and milepost 6.10 at Arbor in Lancaster 
and Otoe Counties, NE.3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ KR states that its projected revenues will not exceed those 
that would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier.
    \2\ See Omaha Public Power District--Acquisition--The Burlington 
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company, STB Finance Docket No. 33447 
(STB served Sept. 12, 1997).
    \3\ On July 31, 1998, KR filed a petition for exemption in STB 
Finance Docket No. 33642 (Sub-No. 1), Kyle Railroad Company--
Acquisition and Operation Exemption-- Omaha Public Power District, 
wherein KR requests that the Board permit the proposed acquisition 
and operation of OPPD's rail line as described-above to expire on 
December 31, 2003. That petition will be addressed by the Board in a 
separate decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was expected to be consummated on or shortly after 
August 4, 1998.
    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. 33642, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each pleading must 
be served on Fritz R. Kahn, Suite 750 West, 1100 New York Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20005-3954.
