the trackage rights it received from UP in STB Finance Docket No.

included, among others, trackage rights over UP's Los Angeles

    The transaction was expected to be consummated on or as soon as

contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab 
initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C.10502(d) may
