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

    Pursuant to a written trackage rights agreement dated December 22, 
2009, BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) has agreed to grant temporary 
nonexclusive overhead trackage rights to Union Pacific Railroad Company 
(UP) over BNSF lines extending between BNSF milepost 10.2 at Tukwila, 
WA, and BNSF milepost 38.4 at Reservation, WA, a distance of 
approximately 28.2 miles.
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on February 7, 2010. 
The temporary trackage rights are scheduled to expire on or about March 
7, 2010. The purpose of the temporary trackage rights is to facilitate 
maintenance work on UP lines.
    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), and any employees 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 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 effectiveness of the exemption. Stay petitions 
must be filed by January 28, 2010 (at least 7 days before the exemption 
becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 35342, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
