Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 194 / Thursday, October 7, 2004 / Notices 60221

1The trackage rights are only temporary rights, 

but, because they are ‘‘local’’ rather than 

‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not qualify for the 

Board’s class exemption for temporary trackage 

rights at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). See Railroad 

Consolidation Procedures—Exemption for 

Temporary Trackage Rights, STB Ex Parte No. 282 

(Sub-No. 20) (STB served May 23, 2003). Therefore, 

UP has concurrently filed a petition for partial 

revocation of this exemption in STB Finance Docket 

No. 34554 (Sub-No. 1), Union Pacific Railroad 

Company—Temporary Trackage Rights 

Exemption—The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe 

Railway Company, wherein UP requests that the 

Board permit the proposed local trackage rights 

arrangement described in this notice to expire on 

or about December 31, 2004. That petition will be 

addressed by the Board in a separate decision.

2The trackage rights involve BNSF subdivisions 

with non-contiguous mileposts. Therefore, total 

mileage does not correspond to the milepost 

designations of the endpoints.

Decided: September 30, 2004.

By the Board, Chairman Nober, Vice 

Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner 

Buttrey. 

Vernon A. Williams, 

Secretary.

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
