Alliance Terminal Railroad, LLC--Lease and Operation Exemption--
Quality Terminal Services, LLC

    Alliance Terminal Railroad, LLC (ATR), a noncarrier, has filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to sublease from 
Quality Terminal Services, LLC (QTS) and operate approximately 12.9 
miles of rail line owned by The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe 
Railway Company (BNSF). There are no milepost designations associated 
with the rail lines ATR will be subleasing. The rail lines being 
subleased are located adjacent to BNSF's mainline between milepost 
362.2 and milepost 365.0 in Haslet, TX. ATR will also acquire overhead 
incidental trackage rights over 11 miles of BNSF's main line located 
between milepost 359.0, at Haslet, and milepost 370.0, at Saginaw, TX.
    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 34538, 
Patrick D. Broe and OmniTRAX, Inc.--Continuance in Control Exemption--
Alliance Terminal Railroad, LLC, wherein Patrick D. Broe and OmniTRAX, 
Inc., seek to acquire control of ATR upon ATR's becoming a Class III 
carrier.
    ATR certifies that its projected revenues as a result of this 
transaction will not result in the creation of a Class II or Class I 
rail carrier, and further certifies that its projected revenues will 
not exceed $5 million. The transaction was scheduled to be consummated 
on or shortly after August 24, 2004, the effective date of the 
exemption.
    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 does not automatically stay the transaction.

Finance Docket No. 34537, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
