Exemption—Union Pacific Railroad Company, STB

[STB Finance Docket No. 34746] 

Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad, Inc.—

Acquisition Exemption—Rail Line of 

Union Pacific Railroad Company 

Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad, Inc. 

(K&O), a Class III rail carrier, has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to acquire (by purchase) 

from Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP) a 27-mile rail line between 

milepost 485.0 at Newton, KS, and 

milepost 512.0, at McPherson, KS. K&O 

has leased and operated the line under 

an agreement with UP since September 

2002.1

K&O certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not result in K&O becoming a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier. K&O also states 

that its current annual revenues exceed 

$5 million. This triggers the 60-day 

advance labor notice requirement at 49 

CFR 1150.42(e). However, K&O 

requested a waiver of that requirement 

which was granted by the Board in a 

decision in this proceeding served on 

September 15, 2005. 

As a result of the grant of the waiver, 

the earliest this transaction could have 

been consummated was on or after 

September 15, 2005, the service date of 

the waiver decision, because the Board’s 

grant of the waiver had the effect of 

making the exemption effective on 

September 15, 2005. 

If the 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. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 34746, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 1925 

K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423–

0001. In addition, one copy of each 

pleading must be served on Karl Morell, 

Of Counsel, Ball Janik LLP, 1455 F 

Street, NW., Suite 225, Washington, DC 

20005.
