Union Pacific Railroad Company—
Discontinuance of Service
Exemption—in Waukesha County, Wis.
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP)
has filed a verified notice of exemption
under 49 CFR part 1152 subpart F–
Exempt Abandonments and
Discontinuances of Service to
discontinue service over a 1.01-mile
portion of rail line, known as the
Waukesha Industrial Lead, from
milepost 17.15 to the end of the line at
milepost 18.16 in Waukesha County,
Wis. (the Line). The Line traverses
United States Postal Service Zip Codes
53186 and 53146.
UP has certified that: (1) No local
traffic has moved over the Line for at
least two years; (2) there is no overhead
traffic on the Line; (3) no formal
complaint filed by a user of rail service
on the Line (or by a state or local
government entity acting on behalf of
such user) regarding cessation of service
over the Line either is pending with the
Surface Transportation Board (Board) or
with any U.S. District Court or has been
decided in favor of complainant within
the two-year period; and (4) the
requirements at 49 CFR 1105.12
(newspaper publication) and 49 CFR
1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental
agencies) have been met.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
discontinuance shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line Railroad—
Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch
Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C.
91 (1979). To address whether this
condition adequately protects affected
employees, a petition for partial
revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
must be filed.
Provided no formal expression of
intent to file an offer of financial
assistance (OFA) to subsidize continued
rail service has been received, this
exemption will become effective on May
8, 2015, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do
not involve environmental issues and
formal expressions of intent to file an
OFA to subsidize continued rail service
under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),1 must be
filed by April 20, 2015.2 Petitions to
1 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which is currently set at $1,600. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
2 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and
not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and
public use conditions are not appropriate.

Exemption--in Waukesha County, Wis.

exemption under 49 CFR part 1152 subpart F-Exempt Abandonments and
Discontinuances of Service to discontinue service over a 1.01-mile
portion of rail line, known as the Waukesha Industrial Lead, from
milepost 17.15 to the end of the line at milepost 18.16 in Waukesha
