Part 220—Railroad Communications, 

Part 221—Rear End Marking Devices,

Modoc Railway and Land Company 

LLC—Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption—in Lake County, OR 

Modoc Railway and Land Company 

LLC (MR&L), a Class III rail carrier, has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire by 

lease, pursuant to an agreement with 

Lake County, an Oregon municipal 

entity, approximately 55.41 miles of rail 

line between milepost 456.89, in 

Alturas, CA, and milepost 512.3, in 

Lakeview, OR. MR&L indicates that 

Modoc Northern Railroad Company 

(MNRR), a Class III rail carrier, will be 

the operator of the property. 

MR&L certifies that its projected 

revenues as a result of the transaction 

will not result in the creation of a Class 

II or Class I rail carrier, and further 

certifies that its annual revenues will 

not exceed $5 million. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is the March 18, 2007 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the exemption was filed).1

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed notice of exemption 

in STB Finance Docket No. 34996, 

Modoc Northern Railroad Company—

Acquisition and Operation Exemption—

Lake County, OR, wherein MNRR seeks 

to acquire and operate approximately 

55.41 miles of rail line between 

milepost 456.89, in Alturas, CA, and 

milepost 512.3, in Lakeview.2

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 9, 2007 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 34995, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–
