Kettle Falls International Railway, LLC--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--BNSF Railway Company \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Effective January 22, 2005, the name of The Burlington 
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company was changed to ``BNSF Railway 
Company.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Kettle Falls International Railway, LLC (KFR), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to lease from BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) and operate approximately 
0.50 miles of rail line between milepost 61.0 and milepost 60.5 near 
Chewelah, WA.
    KFR certifies that the projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class 
I rail carrier, and further certifies that its projected annual 
revenues will not exceed $5 million.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after 
June 3, 2005.
    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. 34707, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one
