1 In 2005, NLR was authorized to lease and 

operate the Line along with other lines. N. Lines 

Ry.—Lease and Operation Exemption—Burlington 

N. and Santa Fe Ry., FD 34627 (STB served Jan. 6, 

2005). 

2This proceeding is related to a petition for 

exemption filed in BNSF Railway Company— 

Abandonment Exemption—in Stearns County, 

Minn., AB 6 (Sub-No. 472X). There, pursuant to 49 

U.S.C. 10502(b), the Board served and published a 

notice in the Federal Register on February 18, 2011 

(76 FR 9,634), instituting a proceeding in which 

BNSF is seeking an exemption to abandon the Line. 

3Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and 

not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and 

public use conditions are not appropriate. 

Similarly, no environmental or historic 

documentation is required under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c)(2) and 1105.8.
