The Surface Transportation Board will hold an oral argument
( http://www.stb.dot.gov/decisions/readingroom.nsf/WebDecisionID/40996?OpenDocument )


 on Tuesday, Oct. 26 on the case Entergy Arkansas, Inc. and Entergy
Services, Inc. v. Union Pacific Railroad and Missouri & Northern Arkansas
Railroad and BNSF Railway, NOR 42104.

         Entergy would like coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin shipped
         to its energy plant near Newark, Ark., by BNSF Railway Company and
         then interchanged to the Missouri & Northern Arkansas Railroad
         Company, Inc., which directly serves its plant. Entergy currently
         uses Union Pacific Railroad Company to ship coal to an interchange
         with the Missouri & Northern Arkansas.

         The hearing is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m., in the Board’s
         hearing room at the Board’s Washington headquarters located at 395
         E Street, S.W. Each side in this case will have 30 minutes to
         argue its position and to respond to questions from Board Members,
         similar to proceedings in federal appellate courts. Though the
         proceedings are open to the public, only counsel for the parties
         to the cases will be permitted to speak. Photo identification is
         necessary to enter the building.

         A live video broadcast of the oral argument will be available via
         the Board’s Website at www.stb.dot.gov, under “Information
         Center”/”Website”/”Live video” on the home page.
