Railroad, Inc., where RailTex, Inc. will continue to control PIR, upon
it becoming a Class III rail carrier.
If the verified notice 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.
