[STB Finance Docket No. 34409]


Burlington Shortline Railroad, Inc., d/b/a Burlington Junction 
Railway--Lease and Operation Exemption--The Burlington Northern and 
Santa Fe Railway Company

    Burlington Shortline Railroad, Inc., d/b/a/ Burlington Junction 
Railway (BJRY), a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified notice 
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 et seq. to lease, from The Burlington 
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF), and operate two segments 
of rail line known as (1) the Marblehead line and (2) the Moorman Lead 
line. The Marblehead line extends approximately 5.13 miles from BNSF 
milepost 261.32 near Quincy, IL, to BNSF milepost 266.43 near 
Marblehead, IL. The Moorman Lead line extends 5,100 feet southwesterly 
from BNSF milepost 258.2 near Quincy.
    Consummation of this transaction was expected to occur on or about 
October 4, 2003.
    BJRY certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not exceed $5 million and that the transaction 
will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier.
    If the verified 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. 34409, 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 John D. Heffner, 1920 N Street, 
NW., Suite 800, Washington, DC 20036.
