SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 23, 2005, BNSF and SLWC
filed a joint notice of exemption under
49 CFR 1152 Subpart F—Exempt
Abandonments and Discontinuances of
Service for BNSF to abandon and SLWC
to discontinue service over the
aforementioned rail line. Notice of the
exemptions was served and published
in the Federal Register on October 13,
2005 (70 FR 59802), and the exemptions
were scheduled to take effect on

In a decision being served
simultaneously with this notice, the
Board is concluding that SLWC does not
qualify for the class exemption under
which it filed its notice. However, on its
own motion, the Board is granting
SLWC an individual exemption and is
publishing this notice to inform
interested parties of that action.
