Introduction

On December 24, 2008, the Board approved subject to numerous environmental mitigation and oversight conditions, the acquisition of the EJ&E by CN. The decision was effective on January 23, 2009.

Under the conditions of the Board’s approval and 5-year oversight, CN is required to file a detailed Monthly Operational Report to allow the Board to closely monitor CN operations; and a Quarterly Environmental Report so that the Board will be kept apprised of the implementation and effectiveness of the mitigation.

The Board encourages any interested party to provide comments on either of CN's reports.  Comments may be provided in one of three different ways:

• Comments may be recorded on the hotline at 1-800-347-0689, or
• Comments may be e-filed on the Board’s website at www.stb.dot.gov, or
• Comments may be submitted in writing.

All written comments should reference STB Finance Docket Number 35087.
