    The West Tennessee Railroad, LLC (WTNN), a New Jersey limited 
liability company, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 
CFR 1150.31 to lease and operate, pursuant to an agreement entered into 
with Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR), approximately 140.1 miles 
of rail line. The subject line runs from milepost IC-406.1 at Fulton, 
KY, to milepost IC-525.0, one mile north of Ruslor Junction (Corinth), 
MS. The transaction includes the Bemis to Poplar Corner, TN branch line 
from milepost GW-0.0 to GW-15.0, the Jackson, TN connection track from 
milepost GH-0.0 to GH-2.2, and the Lawrence and Carroll, TN branch line 
from milepost MM-388.5 to MM-394.5, as well as all associated tracks 
and spurs. WTNN will also acquire trackage rights between milepost IC-
525.0 and NSR's connection with The Kansas City Southern Railway 
Company at milepost IC-526.0 in Corinth.\1\

    \1\ WTNN certifies that its projected annual revenues will not 
exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III carrier.

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after August

    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 34073, Henry 
G. Hohorst, Bruce Hohorst, and Anthony M. Linn--Continuance in Control 
Exemption--The West Tennessee Railroad, LLC, wherein Henry G. Hohorst,

exemption to continue in control of WTNN upon its succeeding to the 
interests of a predecessor entity, West Tennessee Railroad Corp., and

    If this 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
