Golden Isles Terminal Railroad, Inc. (GITM), a noncarrier has filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire the
exclusive rail freight easement over and operate approximately 33 of
miles rail line (consisting of approximately 12.6 miles of common use
tracks and 20.4 miles of yard tracks, industrial leads, and related
trackage over which the Board might not have jurisdiction) owned by
Georgia Ports Authority (GPA).\1\ The rail line involved in this
acquisition is located in the Colonel's Island Bulk and Auto Processing
Terminal near Brunswick, Glynn County Georgia. The line is currently
operated by Colonel's Island Railroad (CIRR). Following GITM's
acquisition of the line CIRR will permanently relinquish its rights to
operate as a common carrier railroad over the line.

have designated mileposts. GITM certifies that its projected
revenues will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III
carrier.
