TRI Railroad, LLC—Acquisition and
Operation Exemption—TRI Owners
Association
Tri Railroad, LLC (Railroad), a
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to
acquire from Tri Owners Association
(Owners), and operate two track
segments as follows: (1) Track A, which
extends from point of connection with
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) at
Engineering Station 1+59 near UP
milepost 259.20 to Engineering Station
123+74 at the end of track at or near
Tahoe/Reno Industrial Center, a
distance of approximately 12,215 track
feet or 2.31 miles; and (2) Track B,
which parallels Track A for a distance
of approximately 2,202 track feet or .42
miles, for a total of 14,417 track feet or
2.73 miles, all located in Patrick, Storey
County, NV.1
Railroad states that, in addition to
connecting with UP, the rail line will
also connect with BNSF Railway
Company (BNSF) at Patrick. According
to Railroad, UP owns the connecting
trackage at Patrick, but BNSF has
trackage rights over UP’s trackage and
will be able to interchange traffic with
Railroad. Railroad further states that,
although the line has been owned and
operated by Owners as private track, an
agreement has been reached where
Owners has agreed to convey the line to
its affiliated corporation, Railroad, for
operation as a common carrier rail line.
Railroad certifies that its projected
annual revenues as a result of the
transaction will not exceed those that
would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier
and will not exceed $5 million.
The earliest this transaction may be
consummated is the March 18, 2007
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the exemption was filed).
1 According to Railroad, the line does not have
mileposts.

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.
Petitions for stay must be filed no later
than March 9, 2007 (at least 7 days
before the exemption becomes
effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 35000, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–
