Dallas Area Rapid Transit--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--
Line 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 a rail line of Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) 
extending between approximately milepost 747.25 and approximately 
milepost 746.25, a distance of approximately 1 route mile in Rowlett, 
TX (line).1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ DART states that it will grant trackage rights to UP (or 
UP's designee) on the line and that freight railroad operations on 
the 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 27, 
1999, 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. 33839, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each pleading must 
be served on Kevin M. Sheys, Esq., Oppenheimer Wolff Donnelly & Bayh 
LLP, 1350 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our website at 
``WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.''

    Decided: January 4, 2000.

    By the Board, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
