[STB Finance Docket No. 34401]


D&W Railroad, Inc.--Acquisition Exemption--Rail Lines of Union 
Pacific Railroad Company

    D&W Railroad, Inc. (D&W), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice 
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire approximately 51.95 miles 
of rail line, including incidental trackage rights, known as the 
Waterloo Industrial Lead, from the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP). 
The lines to be acquired are located in Black Hawk, Buchanan and 
Fayette Counties, IA, as follows (1) between milepost 332.0 at Dewar, 
IA, and milepost 354.3 at Oelwein, IA; (2) between milepost 245.58 and 
milepost 245.0 at Oelwein; (3) .32 miles of wye track at Oelwein; (4) 
23 miles of yard track at Oelwein; and (5) incidental trackage rights 
over UP's track between milepost 332.0 at Dewar and milepost 326.2 at 
Linden Street, Waterloo, IA. D&W certifies that its projected revenues 
as a result of this transaction will not exceed those that would 
qualify it as a Class III rail carrier.
    D&E reported that the parties intend to consummate the transaction 
on or soon after September 26, 2003.
    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice 
of exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 34402, Iowa Northern Railway 
Company--Operation Exemption--Rail Lines of D&W Railroad, Inc., wherein 
Iowa Northern Railway Company seeks to operate the rail lines being 
acquired by D&W here.
    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. 34401, 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 Thomas F. McFarland, 208 South 
LaSalle Street, Suite 1890, Chicago, IL 60604-1112.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at http://www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided: October 1, 2003.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.

Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
