Union Pacific Railroad Company--Temporary Trackage Rights 
Exemption--The Kansas City Southern Railway Company

    The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS) has agreed to grant 
temporary overhead trackage rights to Union Pacific Railroad Company 
(UP) over KCS's line between milepost 482.0 on KCS's Mexico Subdivision 
at Kansas City, MO, and milepost 252.1 on KCS's East St. Louis Terminal 
Subdivision at Godfrey, IL, a distance of approximately 285 miles.
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on July 15, 2007, 
the effective date of this exemption (30 days after the exemption was 
filed). The temporary trackage rights will expire on or about December 
31, 2007. The purpose of the temporary trackage rights is to facilitate 
the performance of maintenance work on UP lines.
    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. Any stay petition must be filed on or before July 
6, 2007 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 35052, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
