[STB Finance Docket No. 33808]
Salt Lake City Southern Railroad Company, Inc.--Trackage Rights
Exemption--Union Pacific Railroad Company
The Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) has agreed to grant local
trackage rights to the Salt Lake City Southern Railroad Company, Inc.,
(SLCS), a Class III rail carrier, over 2.1 miles of rail line between
milepost 735.8 and milepost 737.9, on UP's Provo Subdivision, near
Provo, UT. The trackage rights include the Midvale siding and crossover
track.
The purpose of the trackage rights is to enable SLCS to provide
improved rail service to certain shippers it is currently unable to
serve and to improve its financial viability.
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).
The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after October
15, 1999.
This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7).1 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The notice invokes the class exemption from 49 U.S.C. 11323
at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). While the notice cites 49 U.S.C. 10902
rather than 49 U.S.C. 11323, in a telephone conversation with Board
staff, SLCS acknowledged that 49 U.S.C. 11323 is the applicable
statutory provision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
