[STB Finance Docket No. 33686]
Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad, Inc.--Lease Exemption--
Union Pacific Railroad Company
Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad, Inc. (DGNO), a Class III
rail carrier, has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to
lease from Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) approximately 54.74
miles of rail lines located in the State of Texas: 1 (i)
between milepost 741.3, at Carrollton, and milepost 729.5, at Lake
Dallas; (ii) between milepost 285.1, near Spring Creek Parkway, and
milepost 324.84, at South Sherman Junction; and (iii) the industrial
lead between UP's Mockingbird Yard and the Brookhollow Industrial Park,
in Dallas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ DGNO will be the operator of the property.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In conjunction with the lease of these rail lines, DGNO will
acquire approximately 117.76 miles of incidental trackage rights over
rail lines located in the State of Texas as follows: (1) local trackage
rights over rail lines owned by Dallas Area Rapid Transit: (a) between
milepost 758.04, at Dallas, and milepost 741.3, at Carrollton; (b)
between milepost 603.5, at Carrollton, and milepost 580.19, at Wylie;
and (c) between milepost 281.1, at Plano, and milepost 285.1, at Spring
Creek Parkway; (2) overhead trackage rights over a rail line owned by
The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) between
BNSF milepost 646.39, at Sherman, and BNSF milepost 711.0, at Irving;
and (3) overhead trackage rights over a rail line owned by RAILTRAN
between milepost 634.7, at Irving, and milepost 643.8, at North
Junction.
Because the projected revenues of the rail lines to be operated
will exceed $5 million, DGNO certified to the Board, on December 1,
1998, that the required notice of its rail line acquisition was sent to
the national offices of all labor unions representing employees on the
lines and was posted at the workplace of the employees on the affected
lines on December 1, 1998. See 49 CFR 1150.42(e). The transaction is
expected to be consummated on January 30, 1999.
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 does not automatically stay the transaction.
An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB
Finance Docket No. 33686, must be filed with the Surface Transportation
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be
served on Karl Morell, Esq., BALL JANIK LLP, 1455 F Street, NW, Suite
225, Washington, DC 20005.

Decided: January 29, 1999.
By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
