Yolo Shortline Railroad Company--Lease and Operation Exemption--
Port of Sacramento

    Yolo Shortline Railroad Company (Yolo), a Class III rail carrier, 
has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease from the 
Port of Sacramento (Port) and to operate approximately 3.1 miles of 
rail line (known as the Sacramento-Yolo Port Belt Railroad) in West 
Sacramento, CA. The Port granted Yolo exclusive occupancy and operating 
rights on portions of the Port's trackage.\1\ The rail lines extend 
from: (1) Engineer's Station 0.0 to Engineer's Station 24+62; (2) 
Engineer's Station 39+88 to Engineer's Station 62+29; and (3) 
Engineer's Station 107+33 to Engineer's Station 149+44. Yolo certifies 
that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will 
not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Port states that, in West Sacramento, it owns and maintains 
approximately 8 miles of railroad trackage of which it is leasing 
approximately 3.1 miles to Yolo. The remainder of the trackage is 
spurs and sidings within the Port's fenced-in industrial area that 
serves the Port and its various tenants and customers. The Port will 
retain the control and maintenance of its trackage within the fenced 
area of the Port's property, and Yolo will be the rail carrier 
providing direct service to the Port.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was expected to be consummated on or about October 
31, 2001.
    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. 34114, 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, a copy of each pleading must be 
served on Mr. David Magaw, President, Yolo Shortline Railroad Company, 
341 Industrial Way, Woodland, CA 95776.

    Decided: November 6, 2001.

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