INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32676]
Great Walton Railroad Company, Inc. d/b/a Hartwell Railroad
Company--Trackage Rights Exemption--Hartwell Railroad Company
Hartwell Railroad Company (HRC) has agreed to grant 48.3 miles of
local and bridge trackage rights to Great Walton Railroad Company, Inc.
d/b/a Hartwell Railroad Company (GWRC), over the Toccoa-Elberton Line
(Toccoa Line) in Elbert, Franklin, Hart, and Stephens Counties,
GA.1 The trackage rights are between milepost P 0.5 at Toccoa and
milepost P 24.5 at Bowersville, where there is a connection to GWRC's
tracks, and from there to a connection at milepost P 48.8 at Elberton.
\1\ HRC, a noncarrier, simultaneously filed a notice of
exemption to acquire and operate the Toccoa Line in Hartwell
Railroad Company--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Line of
Norfolk Southern Railway Company, Finance Docket No. 32675. The
trackage rights agreement was necessary because HRC assertedly will
not be prepared to provide immediate service to the line's shippers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The transaction was to be consummated on March 22, 1995.
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. 10505(d) may
be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the transaction. Pleadings must be filed with the
Commission and served on: William A. Mullins, Troutman Sanders, 601
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20004.
As a condition to the use of this exemption, any employees
adversely affected by the trackage rights will be protected under

(1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.--Lease and Operate,
360 I.C.C. 653 (1980).
