    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 11043
    Reading Time:less than a minute

    The Surface Transportation Board received a request from the Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency Program to use specific data from the Board's 2018-2019 Masked Carload Waybill Sample. This sample contains confidential data from railroads and shippers. If anyone wants to object to this data usage, they need to file their objections with the Board's Office of Economics within 14 days from the notice date. The rules for releasing this data are detailed in 49 CFR 1244.9.

    Simple Explanation

    The Surface Transportation Board is considering letting a group use some secret train data from a few years ago, but people have 14 days to say if they think this is a bad idea.

  • 2021-03670 — BNSF Railway Company-Trackage Rights Exemption-Union Pacific Railroad Company
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 11043
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    BNSF Railway Company requested that the Surface Transportation Board allow a trackage rights exemption to expire at the end of 2021, as previously agreed with Union Pacific Railroad. This arrangement lets BNSF use Union Pacific's rail lines to transport trains carrying ballast to and from a pit in Elsey, California. The Board granted the request, ensuring that the agreement will conclude on December 31, 2021, without negatively impacting shippers, and included protections for any employees affected by the change. This decision will be published in the Federal Register and is effective as of March 25, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad agreed that BNSF could use some of Union Pacific's train tracks until the end of 2021, and a government board approved this plan to make sure everything is fair and no workers are hurt by the change.
