    Pursuant to a written trackage rights agreement dated May 26, 2011, 
Delta Southern Railroad, Inc. (DSR), has agreed to grant overhead

over approximately 1.25 miles of rail line between milepost 471.0 
(Highway Barn near Lake Providence) and milepost 472.25 in East Carroll 
Parish, La., where the trackage rights line connects with a private 
side track and lead track owned by Lake Providence that allow rail 
service to the warehouses and dock at the Port.
    The purpose of the transaction is to allow Lake Providence to 
connect its private tracks at the Port with a line it will acquire from 
DSR. See Delta Southern R.R.--Aban. Exemption--in E. Carroll Parish,
