[STB Finance Docket No. 35000] 

TRI Railroad, LLC—Acquisition and 

Operation Exemption—TRI Owners 

Association 

Tri Railroad, LLC (Railroad), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to 

acquire from Tri Owners Association 

(Owners), and operate two track 

segments as follows: (1) Track A, which 

extends from point of connection with 

Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) at 

Engineering Station 1+59 near UP 

milepost 259.20 to Engineering Station 

123+74 at the end of track at or near 

Tahoe/Reno Industrial Center, a 

distance of approximately 12,215 track 

feet or 2.31 miles; and (2) Track B, 

which parallels Track A for a distance 

of approximately 2,202 track feet or .42 

miles, for a total of 14,417 track feet or 

2.73 miles, all located in Patrick, Storey 

County, NV.1

Railroad states that, in addition to 

connecting with UP, the rail line will 

also connect with BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF) at Patrick. According 

to Railroad, UP owns the connecting 

trackage at Patrick, but BNSF has 

trackage rights over UP’s trackage and 

will be able to interchange traffic with 

Railroad. Railroad further states that, 

although the line has been owned and 

operated by Owners as private track, an 

agreement has been reached where 

Owners has agreed to convey the line to 

its affiliated corporation, Railroad, for 

operation as a common carrier rail line. 

Railroad certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of the 

transaction will not exceed those that 

would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier 

and will not exceed $5 million. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is the March 18, 2007 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the exemption was filed). 

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 transaction. 

Petitions for stay must be filed no later 

than March 9, 2007 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35000, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on Thomas F. 

McFarland, 208 South LaSalle St., Suite 

1890, Chicago, IL 60604–1112.
