1Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,300. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 

2Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and 

not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and 

public use conditions are not appropriate. Likewise, 

no environmental or historical documentation is 

required here under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and 

1105.8(b), respectively.

Savage Bingham & Garfield Railroad 

Company—Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption—Union Pacific Railroad 

Company 

Savage Bingham & Garfield Railroad 

Company (SBGR), a noncarrier, has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Union 

Pacific Railroad Company (UP) and to 

operate freight easements upon, over, 

and across: (a) UP’s lines of railroad 

between milepost 4.66 at Welby and 

milepost 17.10 at Magna (Garfield 

Branch), and between milepost 0.00 at 

Kearns and milepost 2.01 at Bacchus 

(Bacchus Branch); (b) the UP line of 

railroad between milepost 0.18 at 

Midvale and milepost 6.60 at Bagley 

Spur (Bingham Industrial Lead); and (c) 

various UP wye, yard and team tracks in 

the vicinity of Midvale (Midvale 

Trackage), a total of 20.87 miles, all in 

Salt Lake County, UT. 

SBGR states that it will enter into a 

freight operating agreement and related 

agreements with UP governing SBGR’s 

operations over the Bacchus Branch, the 

Garfield Branch and the Midvale 

Trackage. In addition, as a result of a 

separate transaction between the Utah 

Transit Authority (UTA) and UP, UP 

will: (a) Convey the right-of-way of the 

Bingham Industrial Lead to UTA; (b) 

reserve an operating easement over the 

Bingham Industrial Lead; and (c) convey 

such operating easement to SBGR. SBGR 

will enter into an administration and 

coordination agreement with UTA 

governing the provision of rail services 

by SBGR over the Bingham Industrial 

Lead during specified time separated 

periods when the planned UTA 

passenger light rail services are not in 

operation. UP and SBGR will 

interchange traffic at UP’s Roper, UT 

rail yard. 

SBGR certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of the 

transaction will not result in the 

creation of a Class II or Class I rail 

carrier and will not exceed $5 million. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is the March 29, 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 22, 2007 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35002, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–
