1CWRR acquired the trackage rights in Central 

Washington Railroad Company—Lease and 

Operation Exemption—The Burlington Northern 

and Santa Fe Railway Company, FD 34640 (STB 

served Jan. 21, 2005). 

2UP was authorized to abandon the 1.45-mile 

line of railroad in Union Pacific Railroad 

Company—Abandonment Exemption—in Yakima 

County, Wash., AB 33 (Sub-No. 285X) (STB served 

June 22, 2010), and the 0.8-mile line of railroad in 

Union Pacific Railroad Company—Abandonment 

Exemption—in Yakima County, Wash., AB 33 (SubNo. 286X) (STB served June 22, 2010). In each 

notice, UP was advised it could not consummate 

the abandonment while existing trackage rights 

remained in effect. 

3Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,500. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 4Because 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 49 CFR 

1105.8(b), respectively.
