SCTRR, LLC--Operation Exemption--South Central Tennessee Railroad 
Corp.

    SCTRR, LLC (SCTRR), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire the operating authority on 
the Centerville Branch between milepost 1, at Colesbury Yard, Dickson, 
TN, and the end of the track at milepost 52, at Hohenwald, TN, a 
distance of about 52 miles (line). Approximately 49 miles of the line 
is owned by the South Central Tennessee Railroad Authority (Authority) 
and 2.8 miles of the line is owned by CSX Transportation, Inc.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The line is currently operated by the South Central 
Tennessee Railroad Corp. pursuant to an operating agreement with 
Authority. The South Central Rail Management, LLC, as agent for 
SCTRR, has entered into an agreement with South Central Tennessee 
Railroad Corp. and its parent, Rail America, Inc., to purchase the 
operating authority. SCTRR will replace South Central Tennessee 
Railroad Corp. as the operator of the line. Authority will maintain 
title to that portion of the land and track it currently owns.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the verified notice of exemption, the parties intended 
to acquire the operating authority after approval or exemption of the 
transaction, with operating responsibility to be transferred in mid-
January 2001. The earliest the exemption could have been consummated 
was January 2, 2001, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after 
the exemption was filed).
    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 33987, Henry 
G. Hohorst, Bruce Hohorst, Joan D. Hohorst, and Anthony M. Linn--

Anthony M. Linn have filed a verified notice of exemption to continue 
in control of SCTRR after it acquires the operating authority on the 
Centerville Branch.
    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding 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.

Finance Docket No. 33986, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW.,
