In addition, KHRR will also acquire incidental overhead trackage rights 
on 4 segments of NS's trackage in Knoxville as follows: (1) from

Knoxville & Hoston River Railroad Co., Inc., wherein Gulf & Ohio 
Railways Holding Co., Inc. has concurrently filed a verified notice to 
continue in control of KHRR upon its becoming a Class III rail carrier.

the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding to 
revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time.
