INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32676]


Great Walton Railroad Company, Inc. d/b/a Hartwell Railroad 
Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--Hartwell Railroad Company

    Hartwell Railroad Company (HRC) has agreed to grant 48.3 miles of 
local and bridge trackage rights to Great Walton Railroad Company, Inc. 
d/b/a Hartwell Railroad Company (GWRC), over the Toccoa-Elberton Line 
(Toccoa Line) in Elbert, Franklin, Hart, and Stephens Counties, 
GA.1 The trackage rights are between milepost P 0.5 at Toccoa and 
milepost P 24.5 at Bowersville, where there is a connection to GWRC's 
tracks, and from there to a connection at milepost P 48.8 at Elberton.

    \1\ HRC, a noncarrier, simultaneously filed a notice of 
exemption to acquire and operate the Toccoa Line in Hartwell 
Railroad Company--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Line of 
Norfolk Southern Railway Company, Finance Docket No. 32675. The 
trackage rights agreement was necessary because HRC assertedly will 
not be prepared to provide immediate service to the line's shippers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was to be consummated on March 22, 1995.
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). 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. Pleadings must be filed with the 
Commission and served on: William A. Mullins, Troutman Sanders, 601 
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20004.
    As a condition to the use of this exemption, any employees 
adversely affected by the trackage rights will be protected under 
Norfolk and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 
(1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 
360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).

    Decided: March 24, 1995.
