Ogeechee Railway Company--Lease Exemption--Line of Central of 
Georgia Railroad Company

    The Ogeechee Railway Company (Ogeechee), a Class III rail carrier, 
has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease 
from Central of Georgia Railroad Company (CGA), a subsidiary of Norfolk 
Southern Railroad Company, and operate approximately 42.6 miles of rail 
line. The rail line to be leased includes: a previously abandoned line 
of railroad between former milepost GF-152.0 near Vadalia, Toombs 
County, GA, and former milepost GF-171.0 near Kirby, Emanuel County, 
GA; and CGA's active line-of-railroad between milepost GF-171.0 near 
Kirby, GA, and the southern line of CGA's line of railroad between 
Millen and Tennille, GA, at milepost GF-194.6 near Midville, Burke 
County, GA.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Ogeechee certifies that its annual revenues will not exceed 
those that would qualify it as a Class III carrier and its revenues 
are not projected to exceed $5 million.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The earliest the transaction could be consummated was November 23, 
1998, (7 days after the notice of exemption was filed).
    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 will not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 33683, 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 John M. Robinson, Esq., 9616 Old Spring Road, Kensington, MD 
20895, and John Moon, Esq., Law Department, Norfolk Southern Railroad 
Company, 3 Commercial Plaza, Norfolk, VA 23510-2191.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our website at 
``WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.''

    Decided: December 9, 1998.

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