[STB Finance Docket No. 34691]


Stockton Terminal & Eastern Railroad--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Rail Line of Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Stockton Terminal & Eastern Railroad (STE), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire, from Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP), and operate 
approximately 1.07-miles of rail line (UP's former Oakdale Branch), 
between milepost 91.83 and the end of the track at California State 
Highway 99, milepost 92.9 in Stockton, San Joaquin County, CA.
    STE indicates that the transaction will be consummated no sooner 
than 7 days after filing this notice. Because the notice was filed on 
April 14, 2005, the earliest the transaction could be consummated was 
April 21, 2005. STE certified that its projected revenues as a result 
of this transaction would not result in the creation of a Class II or 
Class I rail carrier.
    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. 34691, 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 Thomas F. McFarland, 208 South 
LaSalle Street, Suite 1890, Chicago, IL 60604-1112.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at 
www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided: April 25, 2005.

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