Track Tech, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--The 
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company

    Track Tech, Inc. (TTI), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice 
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from The Burlington 
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company and to operate approximately 
19.70 miles of rail line between Creston, IA, milepost 1.45, and the 
end of the line at Greenfield, IA, milepost 21.15.
    TTI reports that it purchased the line on June 11, 1997, but the 
earliest the transaction could be consummated pursuant to the exemption 
was August 29, 1997, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after 
the August 22, 1997 filing date).
    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding 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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33434, must be filed with
