[Docket No. FD 35465]


Autauga Northern Railroad, L.L.C.--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Norfolk Southern Railway Company

    Autauga Northern Railroad, L.L.C. (ANRR), a noncarrier, has filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire by lease 
from Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR), and operate approximately 
43.62 miles of rail lines, located between: (1) Milepost MA 130.00, at 
Maplesville, Ala., and milepost MA 171.05, at Autauga Creek, Ala.; and 
(2) milepost MD 0.00 and milepost MD 2.57, at Autauga Creek. In 
addition, ANRR will obtain by assignment incidental trackage rights 
over a 10.08-mile rail line owned by CSX Transportation, Inc., 
extending between milepost 171.02, at Autauga Creek, and milepost 
181.1, at Montgomery, Ala.
    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed notice of 
exemption in Docket No. FD 35464, Watco Holdings, Inc.--Continuance in 
Control Exemption-- Autauga Northern Railroad, L.L.C., in which Watco 
Holdings, Inc., a noncarrier, seeks Board approval to continue in 
control of ANRR upon Board approval of this transaction.
    The transaction may not be consummated until March 19, 2011, the 
effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption was 
filed).
    ANRR certifies that, as a result of this transaction, its projected 
revenues will not result in ANRR 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. Petitions to stay must be filed by no later than March 11, 
2011 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35465, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy must be 
served on Karl Morell, Ball Janik LLP, 1455 F Street, NW., Suite 225, 
Washington, DC 20005.
