[STB Finance Docket No. 35257] 

Progressive Rail, Incorporated— 

Acquisition Exemption—Rail Lines of 

Wisconsin Central, Ltd. 

Progressive Rail, Incorporated (PGR), 

a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

1150.41 to acquire 23.97 miles of 

railroad from Wisconsin Central, Ltd. 

(WCL).1 One line that PGR is acquiring, 

the Almena-Cameron Branch, extends 

between milepost 80.88, at or near 

Almena and milepost 97.80, at or near 

Cameron, a distance of 16.92 miles. The 

other, the Rice Lake-Cameron Branch, 

extends between Milepost 49.0, at or 

near Cameron, and milepost 56.05, at or 

near Rice Lake, a distance of 7.05 miles. 

Both lines are located in Barron County, 

WI.2

The proposed transaction is 

scheduled to be consummated on or 

after October 11, 2009. 

PGR certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not result in the creation of a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier. However, 

because its projected annual revenues 

will exceed $5 million, PGR also has 

certified to the Board that it has 

complied with the employee notice 

requirements of 49 CFR 1150.42(e). 

Pursuant to that provision, the 

exemption may not become effective 

until 60 days from the August 12, 2009 

date of the revised certification to the 

Board, which would be October 11, 

2009. 

If the 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 transaction. 

Petitions for stay must be filed no later 

than October 2, 2009 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

110–161, section 193, 121 Stat. 1844 

(2007), nothing in this decision 

authorizes the following activities at any 

solid waste rail transfer facility: 

Collecting, storing or transferring solid 

waste outside of its original shipping 

container; or separating or processing 

solid waste (including baling, crushing, 

compacting and shredding). The term 

‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 

U.S.C. 6903. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35257, must be filed with
