rail properties. The subject line extends from its northern terminus at

the effective date of the exemption. The earliest the transaction can 
be consummated is July 29, 1999 (7 days after the exemption was filed).
    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 33784, Penn 
Virginia Corporation--Continuance in Control Exemption--Kanawha Rail 
Corp., wherein Penn Virginia Corporation has concurrently filed a 
verified notice to continue in control of Kanawha upon its becoming a 
Class III rail carrier.

the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding to 
revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time.

transaction.
