SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 36299]


Soo Line Railroad Company--Petition for Declaratory Order and 
Preliminary Injunction--Interchange With Canadian National

    By decision served on July 19, 2019, the Board announced that it 
will hold oral argument to address the issues presented in this 
proceeding. The oral argument will be held on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, 
at 10:00 a.m., in the James E. Webb Memorial Auditorium of the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), located at 300 E Street 
SW, Washington, DC, across the street from the Board's headquarters 
building. The oral argument will be open for public observation, but 
only counsel and designated representatives for the parties, as 
discussed below, will be permitted to participate.
    CP and CN will each have 20 minutes of argument time. The Village 
of Bartlett filed a notice of intent to participate on July 26, 2019, 
and requested 10 minutes of argument time, which will be granted. CP 
will open and may reserve part of its time for rebuttal if it so 
chooses. Board members may ask questions during the parties' allotted 
time. Absent a request from the Board, no additional written comments 
or other submissions may be filed in connection with this oral 
argument. Each party is encouraged to use its allotted time to call 
attention to the arguments and evidence it believes are particularly 
important. The arguments will be in the style of an appellate court. 
Parties should prepare a short statement of their argument and be 
prepared to answer questions from the Board. The purpose of oral 
argument is not to restate the written arguments previously presented 
or to present evidence, but to summarize and emphasize the key points 
of a party's case and provide an opportunity for parties to answer 
questions that the Board may have.

Instructions for Attendance at Oral Argument

    All persons attending the oral argument should use NASA's visitors 
West Lobby entrance, located at 300 E Street SW (closest to the 
northeast corner of the intersection of 4th and E Streets). There will

is no public parking in the building.
