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

    BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) has agreed to modify an existing 
overhead trackage rights agreement, under which Union Pacific Railroad 
Company (UP) would be permitted to operate over BNSF trackage between 
mileposts 59.06 and 0.65 and between mileposts 59.06 and 60.15, a 
distance of approximately 1.74 miles, in Lincoln, NE.
    UP indicates that the transaction was to be consummated on July 7, 
2006, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the exemption 
was filed).
    The purpose of the amended trackage rights agreement is to exclude 
from the agreement the portion of track from milepost 59.06 and 
milepost 60.15, a distance of approximately 1.09 miles. UP states that 
it has never used or consummated its right to operate over this track. 
Thus, pursuant to the amended trackage rights agreement, UP will 
operate between mileposts 0.65 and 59.06, a distance of approximately 
.65 miles.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
amended 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. 30868 (Sub-No. 1), 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 Gabriel S. Meyer, 
1400 Douglas Street, STOP 1580, Omaha, NE 65179.

     Decided: July 12, 2006.

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