Georgia Southwestern Railroad, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption--Central of Georgia Railroad Company

    Georgia Southwestern Railroad, Inc. (GSWR), a Class III rail 
carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 
to acquire from Central of Georgia Railroad Company (CGA) and operate 
approximately 43 miles of rail line, extending from milepost R-120 at 
Florida Rock to milepost R-55.0 at Allie, in Harris and Meriwether 
Counties, GA. The transaction also includes the acquisition by GSWR of 
12.2 miles of incidental trackage rights, extending from milepost M-
290.3 at South Columbus through milepost M-290.9/P-290.9 at Columbus 
and milepost P-291.7/R-1.2 at West Columbus to milepost R-12.0 at 
Florida Rock, in Harris and Muscogee Counties, GA.
    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on May 20, 2005. 
GSWR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this 
transaction would not exceed $5 million and would not result in the 
creation of a Class II or Class I rail carrier.
    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. 34699, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one
