Dallas Area Rapid Transit; Acquisition and Operation Exemption--
Line of Union Pacific Railroad Company

    Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), a political subdivision of the 
State of Texas, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 
1150.41 to acquire approximately 1.5 miles of rail line owned by Union 
Pacific Railroad Company (UP) from approximately milepost 749.75 to 
approximately milepost 748.25 in the vicinity of Garland, 
TX.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicant states that it will grant trackage rights to UP 
(or UP's designee) on the subject line and that freight railroad 
operations on the subject line will be conducted by UP (or UP's 
designee) pursuant to the trackage rights. UP (or UP's designee) 
will seek the Board's approval for the trackage rights in a separate 
filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was expected to be consummated on or soon after 
December 18, 1997, the effective date of the exemption.
    If the 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 transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33531, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W.,
