Because yard track is not subject to the Board’s § 10903 abandonment authority, the Board recently explained that yard track is likewise excepted from the Board’s adverse abandonment process.

Newvista Property Holdings, LLC--Adverse Abandonment of the 
Ironton Branch--In Utah County, Utah; Newvista Property Holdings, LLC--
Petition For Declaratory Order

    By petition filed on March 7, 2016, NewVista Property Holdings, LLC 
(NewVista), seeks waivers of certain Board regulations and exemptions 
from certain statutory provisions in connection with an adverse, or 
third-party, application for abandonment it plans to file under 49 
U.S.C. 10903. NewVista's petition concerns approximately 1.87 miles of 
railroad owned by Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) known as the 
Ironton Branch. NewVista states that it owns, or controls, nearly all 
of the industrial property that abuts the Ironton Branch.

    \1\ These proceedings are not consolidated. A single decision is 
being issued for administrative convenience.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 28, 2016, UP filed a reply to NewVista's petition, arguing 
that the petition should be rejected or denied because the Ironton 
Branch is excepted track under 49 U.S.C. 10906, and thus falls outside 
the Board's abandonment authority.
    On April 7, 2016, NewVista filed a reply to UP's reply (the 
Surreply). In its Surreply, NewVista requests: (1) Guidance regarding 
the appropriate procedures to obtain a ruling on whether the Ironton 
Branch has been removed from the Board's jurisdiction; (2) a 
declaratory order that the Board ``has authority to adversely abandon 
the

Ironton Branch'' or that the Ironton Branch is no longer part of the 
national rail system and that the Board has no jurisdiction over the 
Ironton Branch. Additionally, ``[i]f the Ironton Branch has been taken 
outside the authority of the STB because an abandonment already has 
been consummated, [NewVista] requests a declaratory order so stating.''
    The history and status of the Ironton Branch is well documented.

abandon the Ironton Branch in 1977. L.A. & Salt Lake R.R.--Aban.--
Portion of the Ironton Branch in Utah Cty., Utah, AB 85 (Sub-No. 3)

on December 30, 1977, clarifying that track between Mileposts 0.64 and 
0.71 was ``retired and removed,'' and that track between Mileposts 0.00 
and 0.64, and between Mileposts 0.71 and 1.87, was to be retained and 
reclassified as yard track. The Board confirmed the status of those 
portions of the Ironton Branch as yard track in Joseph R. Fox--Petition 
for Declaratory Order, FD 35161 (STB served May 18, 2009), aff'd Fox v. 
STB, 379 Fed. Appx. 767 (10th Cir. 2010). In that decision, the Board 
also confirmed that industrial yard track, while excepted under 49 
U.S.C. 10906 from the need to obtain Board authority for construction, 
abandonment, or operation, is nevertheless subject to the Board's 
jurisdiction and is not subject to state or local regulation.
    Because yard track is not subject to the Board's Sec.  10903 
abandonment authority, the Board recently explained that yard track is 
likewise excepted from the Board's adverse abandonment process. 
Instead, the proper vehicle for removing the Board's jurisdiction over 
yard track is through a declaratory order proceeding. Pinelawn 
Cemetery--Pet. for Declaratory Order, FD 35468, slip op. at 11 n.31 
(STB served Apr. 21, 2015). Because the portion of the Ironton Branch 
remaining under Board jurisdiction is yard track, an adverse 
abandonment is not appropriate here. Therefore, the Board will deny 
NewVista's petition for waiver and will close the abandonment 
proceeding.
    However, NewVista's Surreply contains a request for a declaratory

exists as to whether the yard track has been or can be removed from the 
Board's jurisdiction. The Board will therefore institute a declaratory 
order proceeding.
    It is ordered:
    1. NewVista's petition for waiver in Docket No. AB 1241 is denied.
    2. Docket No. AB 1241 is closed.
    3. A declaratory order proceeding is instituted in Docket No. FD 
36040. All parties must comply with the Rules of Practice, including 49 
CFR parts 1112 and 1114.
    4. NewVista's Opening Statement is due August 23, 2016.
    5. Replies are due September 12, 2016.
    6. NewVista's rebuttal is due September 22, 2016.
