Missouri & Valley Park Railroad Corporation--Lease Exemption--The 
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company

    Missouri & Valley Park Railroad Corporation (MVP), a noncarrier, 
has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease \1\ from 
The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) and operate 
approximately 2.14 miles of rail line between BNSF's milepost 20.50 
near West Valley Park, MO, on the south side of the Cuba Sub Main Line, 
and at or near BNSF's milepost 18.36 on the Cuba Sub at East Valley 
Park, MO, on the south side of the Cuba Sub Main Line. MVP certifies 
that its projected revenues do not exceed those that would qualify it 
as a Class III rail carrier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ MVP states that it has also entered into a trackage and 
interchange agreement with BNSF that affects the above leased rail 
line.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was due to be consummated on or after July 22, 
2002. The earliest the transaction could have been consummated was on 
July 22, 2002, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the 
exemption was filed).
    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. 34231, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one 
copy of each pleading must be served on Edwin I. Josephson, Chuhak & 
Tecson, P.C., 30 South Wacker Drive, Suite 2600, Chicago, IL 60606.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our website at 
``www.stb.dot.gov.''

    Decided: July 25, 2002.
    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
