[Docket No. FD 35655]


Arkansas-Oklahoma Railroad, Inc.--Lease and Operation Exemption--
Line of Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Arkansas-Oklahoma Railroad, Inc. (AOK), a Class III rail carrier, 
has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease 
from Union Pacific Railroad Company and to operate approximately 1.5 
miles of rail line between milepost 446.5, at/near Shawnee, and 
milepost 445.0, east of Shawnee at Brangus Road, in Pottawatomie 
County, Okla.
    AOK states that consummation of the transaction will occur on or 
about September 4, 2012. The earliest the transaction can be 
consummated, however, is September 5, 2012, the effective date of the 
exemption (30 days after the exemption was filed).
    AOK certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not exceed $5 million or result in the creation 
of a Class II or Class I rail carrier.
    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. Stay petitions must be filed no later than August 29, 2012 
(at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and ten copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket 
No. FD 35655, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 
E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each 
pleading must be served on Daniel A. LaKemper, General Counsel, 
Arkansas-Oklahoma Railroad, Inc., P.O. Box 185, Morton, IL 61550.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at

    Decided: August 17, 2012.
