Golden Isles Terminal Railroad, Inc.--Trackage Rights Exemption--
CSX Transportation, Inc.

    CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), pursuant to a written trackage 
rights agreement entered into between CSXT and Golden Isles Terminal 
Railroad, Inc. (GIT), has agreed to grant certain trackage rights to 
GIT over CSXT's rail line between milepost A489 near Georgia Ports 
Authority's Garden City Terminal and milepost S500 at or about the 
entrance to CSXT's Savannah Yard, plus sufficient tail room from the 
north entrance to Old Savannah Yard, through Loricks Lead, out on 
Number One Main to milepost A492, and from the south entrance of Old 
Savannah Yard, through the Blossom signal, out on Mainline to milepost 
S504 in Chatham County, GA.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated after November 7, 
2003, the effective date of the exemption (7 days after the notice was 
filed).
    The purpose of the trackage is to allow GIT access to the Savannah 
Yard which it is simultaneously leasing from CSXT, and to provide 
terminal switching and other services for customers in the Georgia 
Ports Authority's Garden City Terminal Area.
    As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the 
trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk 
and Western Ry. Co.--Trackage Rights--BN, 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as 
modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate, 360 I.C.C. 
653 (1980).
    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). 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. 34432, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
