Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP), pursuant to written trackage rights 

agreements entered into between UP 

and BNSF Railway Company (BNSF), 

has agreed to grant BNSF temporary 

overhead trackage rights to expire on 

July 29, 2007, over UP lines for: (1) 

Eastbound trains (a) on the Dallas 

Subdivision from milepost 245.3, Tower

rights exempted in BNSF Railway 

Company—Temporary Trackage Rights 

Exemption—Union Pacific Railroad 

Company, STB Finance Docket No. 

34998 (STB served Feb. 27, 2007), 

covered the same lines, but expired on 

May 12, 2007. The purpose of this 

transaction is to modify the temporary 

overhead trackage rights exempted in 

STB Finance Docket No. 34998 to 

extend the expiration date from May 12, 

2007, to July 29, 2007. 

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on June 30, 2007, the 

effective date of the exemption covered 

by this notice.1 The temporary overhead 

trackage rights will allow BNSF to 

continue to bridge its train service while 

BNSF’s main lines are out of service due 

to certain programmed track, roadbed 

and structural maintenance. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee affected by the acquisition of 

the temporary trackage rights will be 

protected by the conditions imposed in 

Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.—Trackage

modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—

I.C.C. 91 (1979). 

This notice is filed under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(8). If it 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. Any 

stay petition must be filed on or before 

June 22, 2007 (at least 7 days before the 

exemption becomes effective).
