Chattahoochee & Gulf Railroad Co., Inc.--Acquisition and 
Operation Exemption--Line of Central of Georgia Railroad Company

    Chattahoochee & Gulf Railroad Co., Inc. (CGR), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31,\1\ to 
acquire and operate an approximately 24.2-mile line of the Central of 
Georgia Railroad Company (CGA) extending from approximately milepost 
J357.8 at the Hilton, GA station to approximately milepost J382.0 at 
the Dothan, AL station in Early County, GA, and Houston and Henry 
Counties, AL. In addition, CGR will acquire approximately 2.8 miles of 
incidental overhead trackage rights over CGA extending from milepost 
J355.0 to milepost J357.8 at or near Hilton, for the purpose of 
interchange with the Chattahoochee Industrial Railroad.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CGR subsequently filed an ``Errata Sheet,'' amending the 
verified notice.
    \2\ This proceeding is related to Gulf & Ohio Railways Holding 
Co., Inc.; H. Peter Claussen and Linda C. Claussen--Continuance in 
Control Exemption--Chattahoochee & Gulf Railroad Co., Inc., STB 
Finance Docket No. 34299, wherein Gulf & Ohio Railways Holding Co., 
Inc., and H. Peter Claussen and Linda C. Claussen, all noncarriers, 
have concurrently filed a petition for exemption to continue in 
control of CGR upon CGR's becoming a carrier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CGR certifies that its projected annual revenues will not exceed 
those that would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier and that its 
annual revenues are not projected to exceed $5 million.
    CGR states that it is close to reaching an agreement with CGA, a 
subsidiary of Norfolk Southern Railway Company, concerning the involved 
transaction; the transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or 
after March 7, 2003 (7 days after the 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. 34298, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street N.W., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one 
copy of each pleading must be served on: Troy W. Garris, Weiner Brodsky 
Sidman Kider PC, 1300 19th Street, NW., Fifth Floor, Washington, DC
