BNSF Railway Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--Union Pacific 
Railroad Company

    Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) has agreed to grant overhead 
trackage rights to BNSF Railway Company (BNSF), between UP ``North 
Jct.'' milepost 242.57 on UP's Lost Springs Subdivision, and UP 
milepost 481.96 on UP's Wichita Industrial Lead.
    BNSF indicates that the transaction was to be consummated on 
February 22, 2006, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after 
the exemption was filed).
    The purpose of the trackage rights is to facilitate overhead 
movement of BNSF cars between BNSF's yard in Wichita, KS, and the 
Frisco Lead (BNSF's rail line severed by removal of railroad crossing 
diamonds at Washington Street in Wichita).
    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.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34837, 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 Sidney L. Strickland, Jr., 3050 
K Street NW., Suite 101, Washington, DC 20007.

    Decided: February 22, 2006.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.

Secretary.
