Carrizo Gorge Railway, Inc.--Trackage Rights Exemption--Union 
Pacific Railroad Company

    Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) has agreed to grant trackage 
rights to Carrizo Gorge Railway, Inc. (CZRY) over UP's line of railroad 
between milepost 129.61 at or near Plaster City, and milepost 140.00 at 
or near Seeley, a distance of approximately 10.39 miles in Imperial 
County, CA.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after April 
21, 2005.
    The purpose of the trackage rights is to achieve operating 
economies and to improve rail service by making interchange between 
CZRY and UP more efficient.
    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 it 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.

Finance Docket No. 34688, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
