1The Board will grant a stay if an informed

by a party or by the Board’s Section of 

Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent

exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C. 2d 377 (1989). Any 

request for a stay should be filed as soon as possible 

so that the Board may take appropriate action before

Iowa Northern Railway Company—

Temporary Trackage Rights 

Exemption—Union Pacific Railroad 

Company 

Union Pacific Railroad Company 

(UP), pursuant to a written trackage 

rights agreement entered into between 

UP and Iowa Northern Railway 

Company (Iowa Northern), has agreed to 

grant Iowa Northern overhead 

temporary trackage rights between 

milepost 81.5 and milepost 86.0 on UP’s 

Cedar Rapids Industrial Lead in Cedar 

Rapids, IA, a distance of approximately 

4.5 miles.1

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after September 4, 2008, and the 

temporary trackage rights are intended 

to expire on May 31, 2009.2 The 

purpose of the temporary trackage rights 

is to enable Iowa Northern to continue 

to provide interchange service between 

Iowa Northern and Cedar Rapids and 

Iowa City Railway (CIC), as a result of 

severe flooding and the resulting loss of 

CIC’s railroad bridge over the Cedar 

River in Cedar Rapids. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the acquisition of 

the temporary trackage rights will be 

protected by the conditions imposed in 

Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.—Trackage 

Rights—BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 

modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—

Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 

(1980), and any employees affected by 

the discontinuance of those trackage 

rights will be protected by the 

conditions set out in Oregon Short Line 

R. Co.—Abandonment—Goshen, 360 

I.C.C. 91 (1979). 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 

(2007), nothing in this decision 

authorizes the following activities at any 

solid waste rail transfer facility: 

collecting, storing, or transferring solid 

waste outside of its original shipping 

container; or separating or processing 

solid waste (including baling, crushing, 

compacting, and shredding). The term 

‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 

U.S.C. 6903. 

This notice is filed under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(8). If it 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 August 28, 2008 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35172, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on T. Scott 

Bannister, 305 Second Street Southeast, 

Suite 400, Cedar Rapids, IA 52401.
