[Docket No. FD 35640]


Wyoming Connect Railroad LLC--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Wyoming Connect Railroad LLC (WCR), a noncarrier, has filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire by lease 
from Union Pacific Railroad Company and to operate approximately 18.5 
miles of rail line between milepost 0.0 at or near Yoder and milepost 
18.5 at or near South Torrington, in Goshen County, Wyo.
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or after July 15, 
2012 (30 days after the notice of exemption was filed).
    WCR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class 
III rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
    If the verified 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. Petitions to stay must be filed no later than July 6, 2012 
(at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35640, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each 
pleading must be served on Thomas F. McFarland, 208 South LaSalle St., 
Suite 1890, Chicago, IL 60604.
