1The rail line in the instant transaction connects

subject of a concurrently filed notice of exemption 

in STB Finance Docket No. 34596, Wisconsin 

Northern Railroad Company, LLC-Lease and 

Operation Exemption-Rail Lines of Wisconsin 

Central, Ltd., wherein Wisconsin Northern Railroad 

Company (WNRC) has sought to lease and operate 

approximately 23.97 miles of rail line in Barron 

County, WI. PGR is the parent company of WNRC. 

However, by letter filed on October 15, 2004, WNRC 

has requested withdrawal of its notice, indicating

line in Barron County to avoid the common control 

situation that otherwise would occur and require 

Board approval. The withdrawal request was 

granted by decision served October 22, 2004, in that 

proceeding.

milepost 11.70 at or near Norma, in
