11428 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 48 / Tuesday, March 13, 2007 / Notices 

1On December 29, 2006, Union Pacific Railroad 

Company (UP) concurrently filed a verified notice 

of exemption under the Board’s class exemption 

procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). The notice 

covered the agreement by the BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF) to extend the expiration date of 

the local trackage rights granted to UP over BNSF’s 

line of railroad between BNSF milepost 579.3 near 

Mill Creek, OK, and BNSF milepost 631.1 near Joe 

Junction, TX, a distance of approximately 51 miles. 

UP submits that the 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 Union 

Pacific Railroad Company—Temporary Trackage 

Rights Exemption—BNSF Railway Company, STB 

Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 6) (STB served 

Jan. 12, 2007). 

2The original trackage rights granted in Union 

Pacific Railroad Company—Temporary Trackage 

Rights Exemption—The Burlington Northern and 

Santa Fe Railway Company, STB Finance Docket 

No. 34554 (STB served Oct. 7, 2004), also extended 

from BNSF milepost 579.3 near Mill Creek, OK, to 

BNSF milepost 631.1 near Joe Junction, TX. By 

decisions served on November 24, 2004, in STB 

Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 1), on March 

25, 2005, in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (SubNo. 3), and on March 23, 2006, in STB Finance 

Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 5), the Board granted 

exemptions to permit the trackage rights authorized 

in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 and extended in 

STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 2), served 

on February 11, 2005, and in STB Finance Docket 

No. 34554 (Sub-No. 4), served on March 3, 2006, 

to expire. At the time of the last extension, it was 

anticipated by the parties that the rights would 

expire on or about December 31, 2006. However, 

this authority had not yet been exercised at the time 

of filing of the notice of exemption in STB Finance 

Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 6) for a further 

extension of the expiration date. 

Issued on: March 6, 2007.
