Ridge, a distance of 14.23 miles in Fannin County; (ii) from Valuation 
Station 21726+83 (milepost 396.7), at Blue Ridge, to Valuation Station 
22154+46 (milepost 404.8), at White Path, a distance of 8.1 miles in 
Fannin and Gilmer Counties; and (iii) from Valuation Station 21556+55 
(milepost 393.47) on the north leg of the wye including the south leg 
of the wye, at Murphy Junction, to Valuation Station 21706+72 (milepost 
396.32), in Mineral Bluff, a distance of 2.85 miles in Fannin County.
    The transaction is expected to be consummated on or after the 
effective date of the exemption. Because the notice of exemption was 
filed on October 3, 1997, the transaction can be consummated no sooner 
than October 10, 1997.
    If the notice contains false or misleading information, the 
exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 
U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to 
revoke does not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33489, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W., 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be 
served on Kevin R. Armbruster, Esq., Cushing, Morris, Armbruster & 
Jones, LLP, Suite 2110, International Tower, 229 Peachtree Street, 
N.E., Atlanta, GA 30303.

    Decided: October 8, 1997.

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