          - [STB Finance Docket No. 34049]

The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS) has agreed to grant limited overhead trackage rights to The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) over KCS's rail line (1) between KCS milepost 220.28 in Tennison, TX, and KCS milepost 201.89 in Wylie, TX, and (2) between KCS Engineering Station HB 43+59′ in Wylie and KCS Engineering Station 1097+80′ in Wylie, a total distance of approximately 21.14 miles.

The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or after June 5, 2001, the effective date of the exemption.

The purpose of the trackage rights is to allow BNSF to move Norfolk Southern Railway Company haulage trains over the subject trackage to and from KCS's Wylie Yard.

                    Any employees affected by the subject transaction will be protected by the labor conditions prescribed in                     *Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.—Trackage Rights—BN*, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in                     *Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—Lease and Operate*, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).

If it 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.
