The Railroad Co., Inc. and WV Southern Railway Co.--Acquisition 
and Operation Exemption--Rail Line of CSX Transportation, Inc.

    The Railroad Co., Inc. (RRC) and its wholly owned subsidiary, WV 
Southern Railway Co. (WVSR), both noncarriers, have jointly filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and 
operate a 12-mile rail line owned by CSX Transportation, Inc. extending 
from milepost 0.0 at Thurmond, to milepost 12.0 at Mt. Hope, in Fayette 
County, WV.
    RRC and WVSR certify that their projected annual revenues as a 
result of this transaction will not result in the creation of a Class I 
or Class II rail carrier.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ WVSR will be the operator of the line.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after August 
1, 2003, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the notice 
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.

Finance Docket No. 34384, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one
