    Union Pacific Railroad Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--The 
    Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company
    
        The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) has 
    agreed to grant overhead trackage rights to Union Pacific Railroad 
    Company (UP) over BNSF's rail line known as the Madill Subdivision 
    between Carrollton, TX, BNSF milepost 700.17, and South Joe, TX, BNSF 
    milepost 633.0, a total distance of approximately 67.5 
    miles.1
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        \1\ On May 21, 1999, UP filed a petition for exemption in STB 
    Finance Docket No. 33749 (Sub-No. 1), Union Pacific Railroad 
    Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--The Burlington Northern and 
    Santa Fe Railway Company, wherein UP requests that the Board permit 
    the proposed overhead trackage rights arrangement described in the 
    present proceeding to expire on August 28, 1999. That petition will 
    be addressed by the Board in a separate decision.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or shortly after 
    June 21, 1999.
        The purpose of the trackage rights is to permit UP to use the BNSF 
    trackage when UP's trackage is out of service for maintenance.
        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).
        This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). 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.
        An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
    Finance Docket No. 33749, 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, one copy of each pleading must 
    be served on Joseph D. Anthofer, Esq., 1416 Dodge Street, #830, Omaha, 
    NE 68179.
