SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 36098]


BG & CM Railroad, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Rail 
Line of Great Northwest Railroad, Inc.

    BG & CM Railroad, Inc. (BG&CM), a Class III rail carrier, has filed 
a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire from 
Great Northwest Railroad, Inc. (GNR), and operate approximately 27.5 
miles of rail line (the Line), between milepost 3.5 at or near 
Konkolville, Idaho, to the end of the Line at milepost 31.0 at or near 
Jaype, Idaho, in Clearwater County, Idaho.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Line was authorized for abandonment in 2004. See Great 
Nw. R.R.--Aban. in Clearwater Cty., Idaho., AB 872X (STB served Nov. 
1, 2004). However, the abandonment was never consummated due to an 
unfulfilled historic preservation condition, and the Line remains an 
active line of railroad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BG&CM 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 will not exceed $5 million.
    BG&CM further certifies that the transaction does not include 
interchange commitments.
    The transaction may be consummated on March 15, 2017, the effective 
date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption was filed).
    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. Petitions for stay 
must be filed no later than March 8, 2017 (at least 7 days before the 
exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 36098, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each 
pleading must be served on Charles H. Montange, 426 NW 162d St., 
Seattle, WA 98177.
    According to BG&CM, this action is categorically excluded from 
environmental review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c).

    Decided: February 24, 2017.

    By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
