Boot Hill & Western Railway Co., L.C.--Acquisition Exemption--
Dodge City Ford & Bucklin Railroad Co.

    Boot Hill & Western Railway Co., L.C. (BHWR), a noncarrier, has 
filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and operate 
approximately 25.73 miles of rail line from the Dodge City Ford & 
Bucklin Railroad Company. The line is located between milepost 347.9, 
at Bucklin, KS, and milepost 373.63, at Dodge City, KS. In conjunction 
with the acquisition of the rail line, BHWR will also acquire 
approximately 1.5 miles of incidental overhead trackage rights over a 
rail line owned by Union Pacific Railroad Company between Engineer 
Station 11+88 and Engineer Station 52+84.9, at Dodge City. The purpose 
of the trackage rights is to enable BHWR to interchange traffic with 
The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company at Dodge City. 
BHWR certifies that its projected revenues as a result of this 
transaction will not result in its becoming a Class II or Class I rail 
carrier, and further certifies that its annual revenues will not exceed 
$5 million.
    The transaction is expected to be consummated on or shortly after 
December 6, 2000.
    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
