trackage rights to Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) over BNSF's 
lines between milepost 343.5, near Ricker, TX, and milepost 455.6, near 
Tecific, TX, a distance of approximately 112.1 miles.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on May 26, 2005, 
and the temporary rights will expire on or before August 16, 2005. The 
purpose of the temporary rights is to facilitate the performance of

imposed in Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 
605 (1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and 
Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980), and any employee affected by the 
discontinuance of those trackage rights will be protected by the 
conditions set out in Oregon Short Line R. Co.--Abandonment--Goshen, 
360 I.C.C. 91 (1979).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). If it 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 will not automatically 
stay the transaction.
