INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32664]


The Georgia Department of Transportation--Acquisition Exemption--
Georgia Central Railway

    The State of Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), a 
noncarrier, has filed a notice of exemption to acquire 33.65 miles of 
railroad and right-of-way from Georgia Central Railway (GC) between 
milepost 577.85 at Vidalia and milepost 611.50 at Helena, in Dodge and 
Telfair Counties, GA.1 Under a new lease arrangement with GDOT, GC 
will continue to operate the line. The lease provides for GC to operate 
and maintain the line, including the crossing agreement with Norfolk 
Southern Railway at Helena, on an abandoned segment of track.

    \1\ GDOT proposes to acquire fee title from GC and rehabilitate 
the line for the purpose of continued rail operations. GC will sell 
the line to GDOT by quitclaim deed. GC's residual common carrier 
obligation as lessor will be transferred to GDOT and GC will have no 
common carrier obligation once the transaction has been completed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consummation of the proposed transaction is scheduled to take place 
on or after March 8, 1995.
    Any comments must be filed with the Commission and served on: 
George P. Shingler, 40 Capitol Square, Atlanta, GA 30334.
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1150.31. If the notice contains 
false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. 
Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d) may be filed 
at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not automatically 
stay the transaction.

    Decided: March 6, 1995.

    By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
