D&I Railroad Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--BNSF Railway 
Company

    BNSF Railway Company (BNSF), pursuant to supplemental agreement 
Nos. 1 and No. 2 entered into between BNSF and D&I Railroad Company 
(D&I), has agreed to grant certain non-exclusive trackage rights to D&I 
over BNSF's rail line between milepost 145.91 and milepost 145.45 on 
BNSF's Corson Subdivision, as well as between milepost 0.0 and milepost 
1.09 on BNSF's Madison Subdivision, in Sioux Falls, SD, a total 
distance of approximately 1.55 miles. D&I will operate its own trains 
with its own crews over the trackage.
    The purpose of the trackage rights is to provide D&I with a route 
to replace trackage being removed in connection with a redevelopment 
project by the City of Sioux Falls.

    D&I indicates that consummation of this transaction was scheduled 
to occur on or after April 7, 2005.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk 
and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 
modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 
653 (1980).

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.
