Re: Docket No. AB 6 (Sub -No. 495X), BNSF Railway Company --
Abandonment Exemption -- in Flathead County, Montana
Dear Ms. Brown:
BNSF Railway Company ("BNSF") hereby seeks an extension of the
consummation deadline until July 27, 2020, for the portion of the
line between Milepost 1226.79 and Mileposts 1227.10 and 1227.58
(the "Line"). The portion of the line between Milepost 1225.19 and
Milepost 1226.79 is the subject of an outstanding NITU.
BNSF is currently considering the sale of the Line and, if that is not
successful, BNSF will need to salvage the Line before consummating
the abandonment. Also, there is the possibility the city will
reconsider its decision not to include the Line in its planned trail.
