The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on March 7, 2006, the effective date of this notice, and the temporary trackage rights will expire on or about March 30, 2006. The purpose of the temporary trackage rights is to facilitate the performance of maintenance work on UP lines.

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.
