    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    Grainbelt Corporation, a smaller railroad company, has applied for an exemption to extend its use of tracks owned by BNSF Railway Company in Oklahoma and Texas. This extension allows Grainbelt to transport trains for BNSF customers and access a specific facility in Oklahoma until March 2026. The Surface Transportation Board notes that employees affected by this change will receive protections, and any challenges to the exemption need to be filed before May 1, 2025. Additionally, this action is environmentally cleared and doesn't require historic preservation reports.

    Simple Explanation

    Grainbelt Corporation asked for permission to use BNSF's train tracks in Oklahoma and Texas until next year, so they can help carry things for BNSF's customers. This plan is okay with the environment and doesn't require any special old-building checks, and anyone who wants to say something about it needs to do so by the start of May 2025.

  • 2021-01355 — Union Pacific Railroad Company-Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption-BNSF Railway Company
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 6731
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) has reported that it has gained temporary rights to use a section of track owned by BNSF Railway Company. This particular agreement allows UP to transport ballast trains, which are used for maintenance work, over a 51.7-mile stretch of rail in Oklahoma and Texas. The temporary rights will last until the end of 2021, and UP has stated that these actions are exempt from environmental and historical preservation reviews. If anyone believes this notice contains false information, they can petition to revoke the exemption, but such petitions will not delay the exemption's start date unless filed by a certain deadline.

    Simple Explanation

    Union Pacific Railroad Company got permission to use some train tracks owned by BNSF Railway Company for a while to help fix the tracks, and they don't need to worry about checking for environmental impacts or old things there. If someone thinks this isn't right, they can tell the authorities, but the trains can still start running unless they tell them by a special date.
