[STB Finance Docket No. 34491]


Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad (DGNO), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to lease and operate, pursuant to an agreement with Union Pacific 
Railroad Company (UP) 11 miles of UP rail line between milepost 629.50 
near CentrePort, TX, and milepost 640.50 at Mockingbird Yard, and the 
Mockingbird Yard.
    Because DGNO's projected annual revenues will exceed $5 million, 
DGNO certified to the Board on April 2, 2004, that it sent the required 
notice of the transaction on March 30, 2004, to the national offices of 
all labor unions representing employees on the line and posted a copy 
of the notice at the workplace of the employees on the affected lines 
on April 1, 2004. See 49 CFR 1150.42(e).
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on June 21, 2004, 
the effective date of the exemption (which is more than 60 days after 
DGNO's certification to the Board that it had complied with the Board's 
rule at 49 CFR 1150.42(e)).
    If the verified 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. 34491, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a 
copy of each pleading must be served on: Gary A. Laakso, DGNR Vice 
President Regulatory Counsel, 5300 Broken Sound Blvd., NW, Boca Raton, 
FL 33487, and Louis E. Gitomer, Ball Janik LLP, 1455 F Street, NW., 
Suite 225, Washington, DC 20005.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at 
www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided: June 28, 2004.

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