[STB Finance Docket No. 34303]


Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad--Acquisition and 
Operation Exemption--The Kansas City Southern Railway Company

    Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad (DGNO), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire and operate, pursuant to an agreement entered into between 
The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS) and DGNO, 2.6 miles of 
rail line of KCS in West Dallas, TX, between milepost 3.0 and milepost 
5.6, known as Hale Cement Spur near Dallas.
    Because DGNO's projected annual revenues will exceed $5 million, 
DGNO certified to the Board on December 19, 2002, that it sent the 
required notice of the transaction to the national offices of all labor 
unions representing employees on the line and posted a copy of the 
notice at the workplace of the employees on the affected lines on 
December 19, 2002. See 49 CFR 1150.42(e).
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on March 28, 2003, 
the effective date of the exemption (which is more than 60 days after 
DGNO's certification to the Board that it had complied with the Board's 
rule at 49 CFR 1150.42(e)).
    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. 34303, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a 
copy of each pleading must be served on Gary A. Laakso, Vice President 
Regulatory Counsel, 5300 Broken Sound Boulevard, NW., Boca Raton, FL 
33487 and Louis E. Gitomer, Ball Janik LLP, 1455 F Street, NW., Suite 
225, Washington, DC 20005.

    Decided: April 11, 2003.
    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.

Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
