MEMORANDUM OPINION
WEINER, Judge.
Presently before the court is a petition to review a decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) the effect of which would permit Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) to sell an elevated railroad line in Manhattan to the West Side Rail Line Development Foundation, Inc. (West Side). The issues have been extensively briefed and oral argument was held before the court on May 14, 1985. For the reasons which follow, we set aside the decision of the ICC and remand the case to that agency for further proceedings.
