SPRECHER, Circuit Judge.
In this case, we review the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission (“ICC”) to allow the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (“B&O”) to abandon a railroad line. We find that the ICC’s decision was arbitrary and capricious. Further, we find that, under the circumstances of this case, the parties should have been allowed the opportunity for cross-examination regarding supplementary evidence received by the ICC.
