INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Docket No. AB-33 (Sub-No. 86)]

 

Union Pacific Railroad Company--Abandonment--in Morgan County, CO 
(Julesburg Subdivision)

    The Commission has issued a certificate authorizing Union Pacific 
Railroad Company (UP) to abandon its line of railroad known as the 
Julesburg Subdivision, extending from milepost 81.10 near Union to the 
end of the line at milepost 98.78 near Ft. Morgan, a distance of 
approximately 17.68 miles in Morgan County, CO. The abandonment was 
granted subject to: (1) The condition that UP keep intact all of the 
right-of-way underlying the track, including bridges, trestles, 
culverts, and tunnels, and retain the line intact and not sell any 
portion thereof, for a period of 180 days from the effective date of 
this decision to enable any State or local government agency or other 
interested person to negotiate the acquisition of the right-of-way for 
public use; (2) the condition that UP retain its interest in and take 
no steps to alter the historic integrity of line in its entirety 
(except for rails, ties, and related appurtenances, which may be 
salvaged) until completion of the section 106 process of the National 
Historic Preservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 470f; (3) the condition that UP, 
prior to conducting any salvage operations, contact the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers, Omaha District, to determine if permits are required 
under section 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1344; and (4) the 
employee protective conditions in Oregon Short Line R. Co.--
Abandonment--Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979).
    The abandonment certificate will become effective October 20, 1994, 
unless the Commission finds that: (1) A financially responsible person 
has offered financial assistance (through subsidy or purchase) to 
enable the rail service to be continued; and (2) it is likely that the 
assistance would fully compensate the railroad.
    Any financial assistance offer must be filed with the Commission 
and UP no later than 10 days after publication of this Notice. The 
following notation shall be typed in bold face on the lower left-hand 
corner of the envelope containing the offer: ``Office of Proceedings, 
AB-OFA.'' Any offer previously made must be remade within this 10-day 
period.
    Information and procedures regarding financial assistance for 
continued rail service are contained in 49 U.S.C. 10905 and 49 CFR 
1152.27.

    Decided: September 14, 1994.

    By the Commission, Chairman McDonald, Vice Chairman Phillips, 
and Commissioners Simmons and Morgan.
Vernon A. Williams,
Acting Secretary.
