R. J. Corman Railroad Company/Carolina Lines, LLC--Acquisition 
and Operation Exemption--The Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad Company 
d/b/a Carolina Southern Railroad Company

    R. J. Corman Railroad Company/Carolina Lines, LLC (RJC-Carolina), a 
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 
1150.31 to acquire from The Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad Company d/
b/a Carolina Southern Railroad Company (CALA) and operate two 
interconnected rail lines totaling approximately 74.9 miles in North 
Carolina and South Carolina (the Line). The Line extends from: (1) 
Milepost AL 326.0, at Mullins, S.C., to milepost AC 290.0, at 
Whiteville, N.C.; and (2) milepost ACH 297.2, at Chadbourn, N.C., to 
milepost ACH 336.1, at Conway, S.C. RJC-Carolina will also acquire one 
mile of incidental, local trackage rights from CALA, extending between 
milepost AC 290.0 and milepost AC 289.0, at or near Whiteville.
    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice 
of exemption in R. J. Corman Railroad Group--Continuance in Control 
Exemption--R. J. Corman Railroad/Carolina Lines, Docket No. FD 35898, 
in which R. J. Corman Railroad Group, LLC, and R. J. Corman Railroad 
Company, LLC, seek Board approval under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2) to continue 
in control of RJC-Carolina upon RJC-Carolina's becoming a Class III 
rail carrier.
    RJC-Carolina certifies that its projected revenues upon 
consummation of the proposed transaction will not result in the 
creation of a Class I or Class II rail carrier and states that its 
projected annual revenues will not exceed $5 million.
    RJC-Carolina states that it intends to consummate the proposed 
transaction on or after February 11, 2015, the effective date of the 
exemption (30 days after the verified notice was filed).
    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 no later than February 4, 
2015 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35897, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each 
pleading must be served on Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 
North Wacker Drive, Suite 920, Chicago, IL 60606-2832.
