Utah Central Railway Company--Lease and Operation Exemption--
Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Utah Central Railway Company (UCRC), a Class III rail carrier, has 
filed a notice of exemption \1\ under 49 CFR 1150.41 et seq. to lease 
from Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) and operate a line of 
railroad, with appurtenances, within the Ogden, UT area. The trackage 
encompasses the former Denver, Rio Grande & Western Railroad mainline 
trackage from Transfer Yard, milepost 781.00 to milepost 778.00, 
including the passing and stub tracks; the Evona Industrial Lead; the 
Relico Spur; the Sugar Works Spur; the Dyce Bypass Track up to the 
point of switch to the Shasta Lead Track; and Tracks 713 and 714, 
serving Dyce Chemical.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The notice of exemption was filed on June 26, 2001, and was 
amended by a pleading filed July 2, 2001. On August 7, 2001, an 
amended notice was filed, incorporating the June 26 and July 2 
filings. The record was not made complete until the amended notice 
was filed, thereby causing the official filing date to be August 7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    UCRC certifies that its projected revenues as a result of the 
transaction will not result in its becoming a Class II or Class I rail 
carrier.
    The earliest the transaction could have been consummated was August 
14, 2001, the effective date of the exemption, 7 days after the 
amendment was filed. The parties intended consummation date is 5 days 
after UP has notified UCRC that UP has received satisfactory evidence 
of compliance with conditions precedent, including Board approval of 
the transaction.
    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. 34051, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each pleading must 
be served on Casey K. McGarvey, 50 South Main, Suite 1250, Salt Lake 
City, UT 84144.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our website at 
www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided: August 15, 2001.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
