INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32483]
Exemption; Blue Rapids Railway Co.--Acquistion and Operation
Exemption--Rail Line of Union Pacific Railroad Co.
Blue Rapids Railway Company (BR), a noncarrier, has filed a notice
of exemption to acquire and operate 10.00 miles of rail line, known as
the Bestwall Line, owned by Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) between
UP milepost 0.12 at Marysville, KS, and UP milepost 10.12 at Bestwall,
KS.1 The proposed acquisition transaction was expected to be
consummated on or after April 1, 1994.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\This line currently is embargoed due to flood damage
sustained during the summer of 1993. BR proposes to restore the line
to its preflood condition. BR asserts, that before operations are
recommenced over the line, it will enter into an operating agreement
with the Northeast Kansas & Missouri Railroad Division of the Mid-
Michigan Railroad, Inc. (NEKM), an unaffiliated class III rail
carrier, which then will operate the Bestwall Line upon restoration
on behalf of BR. NEKM will, of course, be required to file for
approval or exemption to operate the line if such an agreement is
reached. BR states that appropriate authorization will be sought and
obtained prior to recommencement of operations.
