Company

    Missouri & Northern Arkansas Railroad Company, Inc. (MNA), a Class 
III rail carrier, has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire and operate approximately 9.6 miles of rail line owned by 
The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company. The lines being 
acquired by MNA are located between: (1) milepost 334.39 and milepost 
330.2 in Joplin, MO; and (2) milepost 309.9 and milepost 315.3 in 
Carthage, MO.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after 
September 9, 1998.
    If this 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 does not automatically stay the transaction.

Finance Docket No. 33637, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW,
