approximately 229.83 miles.
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or before January

movement of BNSF's trains overhead between (a) Long, OK, and Oklahoma 
City, OK, and (b) Long, OK, and Sapulpa, OK.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The trackage rights agreement provides for an initial term 
of 15 years. The parties must seek appropriate Board authority for 
the trackage rights to expire at the end of that time period.

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.
