Operation Exemption--Geaux Geaux Railroad, LLC

    Bogalusa Bayou Railroad, L.L.C. d/b/a Geaux Geaux Railroad (BBRR), 
a Class III rail carrier indirectly controlled by Watco Holdings, Inc., 
has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to 
operate approximately 21.95 miles of rail line (the Lines) owned by 
Geaux Geaux Railroad, LLC (GGRL), located: (1) Between milepost 0.00 at 
or near Slaughter, and milepost 9.69 at or near Zee, and (2) between 
milepost 345.84 at or near Slaughter, and milepost 358.10 at or near 
Maryland, in East Baton Rouge Parish, La.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ GGRL was granted authority to acquire the Lines in Geaux 
Geaux Railroad--Acquisition & Operation Exemption--Illinois Central 
Railroad, FD 35826 (STB served May 23, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BBRR states it has entered into an operating agreement with GGRL 
and that the agreement does not contain any provision that prohibits 
BBRR from interchanging, or limits BBRR's ability to interchange, 
traffic with a third party. BBRR also states that operation of the 
Lines will not result in significant changes in carrier operations.
    BBRR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class 
II or Class I rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
    The transaction may be consummated on or after February 28, 2015, 
the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the verified notice 
was filed).
    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. Petitions for stay must be filed no later than February 20, 
2015 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35904, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each 
pleading must be served on Karl Morell, Ball Janik LLP, 655 Fifteenth 
St. NW., Suite 225, Washington, DC 20005.
