Union Pacific Railroad Company

between milepost 579.3 on BNSF’s 

Creek Subdivision near Mill Creek, 

Okla., and milepost 631.0 on BNSF’s 

Madill Subdivision near Joe Junction, 

Tex., pursuant to the terms of a written 

temporary trackage rights agreement 

dated December 31, 2020 (Agreement).1

UP states that the sole purpose of the 

temporary trackage rights is to allow UP 

to move loaded and empty unit ballast 

trains, which will be used solely for UP 

maintenance-of-way projects. UP states 

that the temporary trackage rights will 

expire on December 31, 2021. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after February 7, 2021, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the acquisition of 

the temporary trackage rights will be 

protected by the conditions imposed in

Rights—Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 

I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in

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 will not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than January 29, 2021 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36480, should be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must
