Denver Terminal Railroad Company,

Lease and Operation Exemption—Rail
Line of Union Pacific Railroad

AGENCY:
Denver Terminal Railroad Company,
d/b/a Denver Rock Island Railroad
(DRIR), a Class III rail carrier, has filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.41 to lease from Union Pacific
Railroad Company (UP) and operate a
line of railroad, known as the Stock
Yard Lead. The line of railroad consists
of Track 12 extending from a point of
connection with a UP main line north
of East 58th Avenue in unincorporated
Adams County, CO, to a point of
connection with existing DRIR trackage
at or near Race Court in the City of
Denver, Denver County, CO, a distance
of 5,750 feet, or 1.09 miles, plus the
following auxiliary tracks: Track 12A
(450 feet); Track 12B (750 feet); Track
12C (1,767 feet); and Track 12D (1,845
feet), for a total distance of 10,562 feet,
or 2 miles.
DRIR certifies that its projected
revenues as a result of this transaction
will not result in the creation of a Class
II or Class I rail carrier. The transaction
was scheduled to be consummated no
sooner than December 24, 2004, the
effective date of the exemption (7 days
after the exemption was filed).
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 transaction.
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 34637, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 1925
K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423–
