Dallas Area Rapid Transit--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--
Lines of Union Pacific Railroad Co.

    Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), a political subdivision of the 
State of Texas, has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to 
acquire (by purchase) approximately 1 mile of rail line owned by Union 
Pacific Railroad Company (UP) between approximately milepost 748.25 and 
approximately milepost 747.25 in the vicinity of Rowlett, 
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. According to DART, UP (or 
UP's designee) will seek the Board's approval for the trackage 
rights in a separate filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The earliest the transaction could be consummated was December 22, 
1998, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the exemption 
was filed).
    If the verified 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 does not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33696, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W., 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each pleading must 
be served on Kevin M. Sheys, 1350 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, 
Washington, DC 20005.

    Decided: January 7, 1999.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
