Keokuk Junction Railway Co.--Trackage Rights Exemption--Union 
Pacific Railroad Company

    Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP), pursuant to a written trackage 
rights agreement entered into between UP and Keokuk Junction Railway 
Co. (KJRY), has agreed to grant overhead trackage rights to KJRY 
between Hollis, Peoria County, IL (milepost 118.5), and Iowa Junction, 
Peoria County, IL (milepost 113.6), a total distance of approximately 
5.0 miles. KJRY will operate its own trains with its own crews over the 
UP line under the trackage rights. The purpose of this transaction will 
be to allow KJRY to interchange traffic with the Tazewell & Peoria 
Railroad, Inc. (TZPR), by bridging KJRY trains from Hollis to the TZPR 
at Iowa Junction.
    KJRY indicated that consummation of this transaction was scheduled 
to occur on February 16, 2005, and that operations would commence 
thereafter.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk 
and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 
modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 
653 (1980).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). 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. 34664, 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 Daniel A. LaKemper, 1318 S. 
Johanson Road, Peoria, IL 61607.
