City Utilities of Springfield, Mo.

City Utilities states that it acquired title to the Line and other track from the Burlington Northern Railroad Company (BN) through deeds dated January 15, 1986, and July 21, 1987, and that BN, and subsequently BNSF Railway Company, provided rail operations over the Line to deliver coal to City Utilities’ James River Power Station (JRPS) until that facility ceased burning coal in 2015.1 City Utilities states that it recently discovered, as part of its due diligence in converting the right-of-way into a multi-use recreational trail, that it inadvertently neglected to seek acquisition authority for the Line from the ICC when it acquired the Line from BN. City Utilities now seeks after-thefact Board authorization for its prior acquisition of the Line.2 City Utilities certifies that there will be no rail operations over the Line and, as such, annual revenues generated by City Utilities from the Line will not exceed levels that would result in City Utilities becoming a rail carrier under any of the thresholds set forth in 49 CFR part 1201.

Railway Company approximately 1.24 miles of rail line extending from 
approximately milepost 248.86 to approximately milepost 250.1, in

    City Utilities states that it acquired title to the Line and other 
track from the Burlington Northern Railroad Company (BN) through deeds 
dated January 15, 1986, and July 21, 1987, and that BN, and 
subsequently BNSF Railway Company, provided rail operations over the 
Line to deliver coal to City Utilities' James River Power Station 
(JRPS) until that facility ceased burning coal in 2015.\1\ City 
Utilities states that it recently discovered, as part of its due 
diligence in converting the right-of-way into a multi-use recreational 
trail, that it inadvertently neglected to seek acquisition authority 
for the Line from the ICC when it acquired the Line from BN. City 
Utilities now seeks after-the-fact Board authorization for its prior 
acquisition of the Line.\2\

    \1\ According to City Utilities, in 1983, BN abandoned a portion 
of rail line that extended between milepost 250.1 and milepost 257.6

consequently, the track it acquired from BN consisted of both 
abandoned track and track--i.e., the Line--that was still subject to 
the jurisdiction of the Board's predecessor, the Interstate Commerce 
Commission (ICC).
    \2\ Citing Cattaraugus Local Development Corp.--Abandonment 
Exemption--in Cattaraugus County, N.Y., AB 1300X et al. (STB served 
Aug. 5, 2020), City Utilities states that it intends to seek 
authorization from the Board to abandon the Line.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    City Utilities certifies that there will be no rail operations over 
the Line and, as such, annual revenues generated by City Utilities from 
the Line will not exceed levels that would result in City Utilities 
becoming a rail carrier under any of the thresholds set forth in 49 CFR 
part 1201. Also, City Utilities certifies that no agreements conveying 
the Line from BN to City Utilities involved any provisions that limited 
future interchange with a third-party connecting carrier.
    The transaction will become effective on October 30, 2021 (30 days 
after the verified notice of exemption was filed).
    If the verified notice 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. The filing of a petition to revoke
