Savage Bingham & Garfield Railroad
Company (SBGR), a noncarrier, has filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Union
Pacific Railroad Company (UP) and to

Salt Lake County, UT.
SBGR states that it will enter into a

reserve an operating easement over the
Bingham Industrial Lead; and (c) convey
such operating easement to SBGR. SBGR

governing the provision of rail services
by SBGR over the Bingham Industrial
Lead during specified time separated
periods when the planned UTA
passenger light rail services are not in
operation. UP and SBGR will
interchange traffic at UP’s Roper, UT
rail yard.
SBGR certifies that its projected
annual revenues as a result of the
transaction will not result in the
creation of a Class II or Class I rail
carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
The earliest this transaction may be
consummated is the March 29, 2007
effective date of the exemption (30 days

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.
