milepost S241.9, at C.A. Junction, MO, and milepost S250.6, at Maxwell,

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on May 28, 2006. 
The temporary trackage rights were to expire on May 30, 2006.
    The purpose of this transaction is for bridging BNSF's train

conditions imposed in Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN,

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.
