[STB Finance Docket No. 33487]
Iowa Northern Railway Company--Acquisition and Operation
Exemption--Union Pacific Railroad Company
Iowa Northern Railway Company (IANR), a Class III rail carrier, has
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire
and operate an 8,692-foot portion of rail line, known as the Bristow
Subdivision, owned by Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP), between the
crossing of the UP and IANR lines at MP 288.8 and the end of the
Bristow Subdivision at approximately MP 287.4 (end of track) to the
east of that crossing in Clarksville, IA.\1\ The transaction was
expected to be consummated as soon as practicable after October 9,
1997, the effective date of the exemption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ IANR states that, although the official UP milepost
designations suggest a track length of 1.4 miles, IANR personnel
have measured the track length as 8,692 feet, or approximately 1.6
miles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
