acquire ownership rights in approximately 26.7 miles of rail line from 
the Snow Hill Shippers Association, Inc. (SHSA) between approximately 
milepost 39, in Frankford, Sussex County, DE, and approximately 
milepost 65.7, in Snow Hill, Worcester County, MD (Frankford-Snow Hill 
Branch).\1\

corporation comprised of on-line shippers who own the Frankford-Snow 
Hill Branch.

    The transaction is expected to be consummated on or soon after 
February 21, 2000, the effective date of the exemption.

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.
