“The potentially anti-competitive impact of the acquisition of ownership rights in key facilities to which other carriers need access is obvious. In both the North Western and New-rail cases the Commission, acting under Section [11343], imposed appropriate conditions to preserve routes, gateways and other traffic and operating relationships involving other carriers.
