[STB Finance Docket No. 34547]


Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad Co.--Lease and Operation Exemption--
Pan Western Corporation

    Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad Co. (TTRR), a noncarrier, has filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from Pan 
Western Corporation (Pan Western) and operate approximately 2.66 miles 
of private rail line owned by Pan Western, extending from milepost 0.0 
to milepost 2.66 in Clark County, NV. Pan Western intends to lease the 
railroad line to TTRR so that TTRR may initiate and provide common 
carrier rail operations on and over the line. TTRR will become a Class 
III rail carrier. TTRR certifies that its projected revenues are not 
expected to exceed those of a Class III rail carrier or $5 million 
annually.
    The transaction was due to be consummated on or after September 9, 
2004, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the exemption 
was filed).
    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. 34547, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one 
copy of each pleading must be served on Jeffrey O. Moreno, Esq., 
Thompson Hine LLP, 1920 N Street, NW., Suite 800, Washington, DC 20036-
1601.

    Decided: September 22, 2004.

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