[STB Finance Docket No. 34066]


City of Peoria, IL--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Union 
Pacific Railroad Company

    City of Peoria, IL (City), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Union Pacific 
Railroad Company (UP) and operate a 1.9-mile line of railroad, commonly 
known as the Pioneer Industrial Lead (Lead),\1\ that extends easterly 
from UP's Peoria Subdivision, at approximately milepost 71.5, to the 
end of a track, a short distance west of University Avenue, in the City 
of Peoria, Peoria County, IL.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The City notes that the Lead is not delineated by milepost 
numbers.
    \2\ The City indicates that there are no active shippers 
presently on the Lead and that, if the City were called upon to 
operate the Lead, it would do so or would arrange for a rail 
operator to do so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on July 10, 2001 (7 
days after the exemption was filed).
    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding 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.

Finance Docket No. 34066 must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W.,
