[Docket No. FD 35574]


Swan Ranch Railroad, L.L.C.--Operation Exemption--Swan Industrial 
Park

    Swan Ranch Railroad, L.L.C. (SRR),\1\ a noncarrier, has filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to operate, pursuant 
to an agreement with Cheyenne Logistics Hub, LLC (CLH), all the track 
located within the Swan Industrial Park, in Cheyenne, Wyo. The track 
over which SRR will operate is approximately 17,192 feet long and 
includes Track Numbers 101, 105, and 109.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ SRR is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Watco 
Holdings, Inc. (Watco).
    \2\ According to SRR, there are no mileposts associated with the 
tracks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice 
of exemption in Docket No. FD 35575, Watco Holdings, Inc.--Continuance 
in Control Exemption--Swan Ranch Railroad, L.L.C., wherein Watco seeks 
Board approval to continue in control of SRR, upon SRR's becoming a 
Class III rail carrier.
    Applicant states that the agreement between SRR and CLH does not 
contain any provision that prohibits SRR from interchanging traffic 
with a third party or limits SRR's ability to interchange with a third 
party.
    The transaction may be consummated on or after December 28, 2011 
(30 days after the notice of exemption was filed).
    SRR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of the 
transaction will not result in SRR's becoming a Class II or Class I 
rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
    If the verified 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 effectiveness of the 
exemption. Stay petitions must be filed by December 21, 2011 (at least 
7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35574, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each 
pleading must be served on Karl Morell, Of Counsel, Ball Janik LLP, 
Suite 225, 655 Fifteenth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005.
