[STB Finance Docket No. 32999]
Nebraska Northeastern Railway Company; Acquisition and Operation
Exemption; Burlington Northern Railroad Company
Nebraska Northeastern Railway Company (NNR), a noncarrier, has
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire
and operate approximately 120.4 miles of rail line from Burlington
Northern Railroad Company, between milepost 4.0 near Ferry Station, NE,
and milepost 124.4 2 at O'Neill, NE. The transaction was to have
been consummated on or after July 19, 1996.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The ICC Termination Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-88, 109
Stat. 803, which was enacted on December 29, 1995, and took effect
on January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate Commerce Commission and
transferred certain functions to the Surface Transportation Board
(Board). This notice relates to functions that are subject to Board
jurisdiction pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10901.
\2\ NNR erroneously has indicated the milepost at O'Neill to be
milepost 120.4. Their map, however, indicates O'Neill at milepost
124.4.

Control Exemption--Nebraska Northeastern Railway Company, STB Finance

verified notice to continue to control NNR, upon its becoming a Class
