SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36755] 

Union Pacific Railroad Company— 

Trackage Rights Exemption—Omaha 

Public Power District 

Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP), a Class I rail carrier, has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1180.2(d)(7) to extend the term of 

its trackage rights over 54.8 miles of rail 

line of Omaha Public Power District 

(OPPD) between milepost 5.9 near 

Arbor, Neb., and milepost 56.3 near 

College View in Lincoln, Neb., and an 

additional 475-foot section of track 

extending from milepost 5.9 (the Line). 

UP states that it originally acquired 

these trackage rights pursuant to an 

agreement dated July 25, 2003. See 

Union Pac. R.R.—Trackage Rights 

Exemption—Omaha Pub. Power Dist., 

FD 34388 (STB served Aug. 22, 2003). 

The original agreement expired 

December 31, 2020; UP further states, 

however, that it and OPPD agreed to 

negotiate for an extension, and 

operations under the agreement 

continued. According to UP, it and 

OPPD have now executed a new 

agreement that provides UP with 

substantially similar trackage rights and 

will allow operations to continue as 

they have since 2003 without material 

changes.1

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after February 29, 2024, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the extension of 

the term of trackage rights will be 

protected by the conditions imposed in 

Norfolk & Western Railway—Trackage 

Rights—Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 

I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in 

Mendocino Coast Railway—Lease & 

Operate—California Western Railroad, 

360 I.C.C. 653 (1980). 

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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than February 22, 2024 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36755, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board either via 

e-filing on the Board’s website or in 

writing addressed to 395 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on UP’s representative, Tanya 

Spratt, 1400 Douglas Street, Union 

Pacific Railroad Company, STOP 1580, 

Omaha, NE 68179.
