Arizona Eastern Railway, Inc.—
Acquisition and Operation ExemptionUnion Pacific Railroad Company
yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
Surface Transportation Board
Surface Transportation Board
Arizona Eastern Railway, Inc. (AZER),
a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified
notice of exemption under 49 CFR
1150.41 to acquire from Union Pacific
Railroad Company (UP) and operate a
67.7-mile line of railroad known as the
Clifton Subdivision, extending between
milepost 1150.00 at Lordsburg, NM, and
milepost 1217.70 at Clifton, AZ.1
The transaction is expected to be
consummated on or after February 1,
2008.
AZER certifies that its projected
annual revenues as a result of the
transaction will not result in AZER
becoming a Class II or Class I rail
carrier. However, because its projected
annual revenues will exceed $5 million,
AZER also has certified to the Board on
December 3, 2007, that it has complied
with the employee notice requirements
of 49 CFR 1150.42(e). Pursuant to that
provision, the exemption may not
become effective until 60 days from the
date of certification to the Board, which
would be February 1, 2008.
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 effectiveness of
the exemption. Stay petitions must be
filed by January 25, 2008 (at least 7 days
before the exemption becomes
effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 35109, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–
0001. In addition, a copy of each
pleading must be served on John D.
Heffner, John D. Heffner, PLLC, 1750 K

States Postal Service Zip Codes 14005
and 14011, and includes the stations of
Alexander and Attica.
NSR has certified that: (1) No local
traffic has moved over the line for at
least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic
can be rerouted over other lines; (3) no
formal complaint filed by a user of rail
service on the line (or by a state or local

Surface Transportation Board or with
any U.S. District Court or has been
decided in favor of complainant within
the 2-year period; and (4) the

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12
(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR
1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental

As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
abandonment shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line R. Co.—
Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91
(1979). To address whether this
condition adequately protects affected

NSR has filed environmental and
historic reports which address the
effects, if any, of the abandonment on
the environment and historic resources.
SEA will issue an environmental
assessment (EA) by December 21, 2007.
Interested persons may obtain a copy of
the EA by writing to SEA (Room 1100,
Surface Transportation Board,
Washington, DC 20423–0001) or by
calling SEA, at (202) 245–0305.
[Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–

environmental and historic preservation
matters must be filed within 15 days
after the EA becomes available to the
public.
Environmental, historic preservation,
public use, or trail use/rail banking
conditions will be imposed, where
appropriate, in a subsequent decision.
Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR
1152.29(e)(2), NSR shall file a notice of
consummation with the Board to signify
that it has exercised the authority
granted and fully abandoned the line. If
(OFA) to purchase the 4.50-mile line proposed for
abandonment. In the November 29 letter, BPR also
requested that NSR provide certain information
regarding the line, including the required minimum
purchase price. BPR also requested that the Board
toll the 30-day period for submitting OFAs for an
additional 60 days in order to provide the offeror
with an adequate opportunity to receive, review
and analyze the material provided by NSR and
submit its OFA. These requests will be handled in
a separate decision.
2 The Board will grant a stay if an informed
decision on environmental issues (whether raised
by a party or by the Board’s Section of
Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent
investigation) cannot be made before the
exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any
request for a stay should be filed as soon as possible
so that the Board may take appropriate action before
the exemption’s effective date.
3 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which currently is set at $1,300. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
