Per the Board’s request, senior management representatives of CP and BNSF met individually with each Board Member, and the Board requested certain additional data from CP and BNSF. The Board’s Office of Public Assistance, Governmental Affairs and Compliance (OPAGAC) has also been working with CP and BNSF to address and correct service issues as they arise. Representatives of OPAGAC have held numerous meetings and conference calls with affected parties to better understand the specific problems shippers are facing, and to help facilitate a quick resolution whenever possible. Board staff has facilitated meetings in Fargo, North Dakota, on service issues with shippers from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana. We anticipate that, following this public hearing, additional field meetings in other affected areas will be held. The Board’s hearing is not intended to replace the informal and confidential process facilitated by OPAGAC, and shippers and railroads are encouraged to continue communicating through that office. The Board will hold a public hearing beginning at 9:30 a.m., on April 10, 2014,2 at its offices in Washington, DC, to provide an opportunity for interested persons to report on the status of rail service and to discuss ways to remedy the current service problems.3 The Board will direct executive-level officials from CP and BNSF to appear at the hearing to discuss their ongoing and future efforts to improve service on their railroads and to provide an estimated timeline for a return to normal service levels.

This decision is being served more than seven days in advance of the April 10 hearing.
