    Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway, LLC--Acquisition and Operation 
    Exemption--The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company
    
        The Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway LLC of Dallas, TX (ALA), a 
    noncarrier, filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 
    et seq. to acquire from The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway 
    Company (BNSF) and operate a 140.58-mile rail line between milepost 
    776.10 near Kimbrough, AL, and milepost 916.68 in Pensacola, FL. ALA 
    will also acquire incidental trackage rights over 13.6 miles of BNSF's 
    line between milepost 776.10 near Kimbrough, AL, and milepost 762.5 
    near Magnolia, AL. ALA will also be temporarily assigned trackage 
    rights over a 43.1-mile line of CSX Transportation, Inc., between 
    milepost L621.7 near Atmore, AL, and milepost L635.4 near Catonment, 
    FL, pending completion of repairs to the line to be acquired from BNSF. 
    The transaction is scheduled to be consummated on or after September 1, 
    1997.
        This proceeding is related to Kauri, Inc., and StatesRail LLC--
    Continuance in Control Exemption--Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway LLC, STB 
    Finance Docket No. 33439, in which Kauri, Inc. and StatesRail LLC have 
    concurrently filed a verified notice of exemption to continue in 
    control of ALA when it becomes a Class III railroad.
        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 transaction.
        An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
    Finance Docket No. 33438 must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
    Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W.,
