Soo Line Railroad Company d/b/a Canadian Pacific Railway--
Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption--Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) has agreed to grant temporary 
overhead trackage rights to Soo Line Railroad Company d/b/a Canadian 
Pacific Railway (CPR) over UP's rail line between UP milepost 83.0 and 
UP milepost 81.5 on the National Avenue Industrial Lead near Milwaukee, 
WI, a distance of approximately 1.5 miles.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on May 24, 2005, 
and the temporary trackage rights are scheduled to expire on or about 
October 13, 2005. The purpose of the temporary trackage rights is to 
allow CPR to access the Jones Island Yard while its main lines are out 
of service due to programmed track, roadbed, and structural 
maintenance.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employee affected by the 
acquisition of the temporary 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), and any employee affected by the 
discontinuance of those trackage rights will be protected by the 
conditions set out in Oregon Short Line R. Co.--Abandonment--Goshen, 
360 I.C.C. 91 (1979).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). 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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34704, 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 Thanh G. Bui, Leonard, Street 
and Deinard, 150 South Fifth Street, Suite 2300, Minneapolis, MN 55402.

    Decided: May 24, 2005.

    By the Board, Joseph H. Dettmar, Acting Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
