1 GWI states that if it acquires the stock prior to 

the September 1, 2011 effective date of the 

exemption, it would place the stock into an 

irrevocable, independent voting trust pursuant to 49 

CFR 1013, pending the effectiveness of the 

exemption. GWI states that it would notify the 

Board of any such occurrence and would submit a 

copy of the agreement governing the voting trust for 

AZER’s stock. 

2AZER’s lines are located in Arizona and New 

Mexico. GWI’s carriers do not currently operate in 

the states of Arizona or New Mexico. 

3A redacted Stock Purchase Agreement was filed 

with the notice of exemption. The Applicants 

concurrently filed a motion for protective order 

pursuant to 49 CFR 1104.14(b) to allow the filing 

under seal of the unredacted Stock Purchase 

Agreement. That motion will be addressed in a 

separate decision.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35537] 

Genesee & Wyoming Inc.; Acquisition 

of Control Exemption; Arizona Eastern 

Railway Company 

Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (GWI), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption to acquire control of Arizona 

Eastern Railway Company (AZER), a 

Class III rail carrier. GWI intends to 

consummate the transaction on 

September 1, 2011, the effective date of 

the exemption (30 days after the 

exemption was filed). 

GWI directly or indirectly controls 

one Class II rail carrier, Buffalo & 

Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc., and 57 Class 

III rail carriers operating in 23 states. 

For a complete list of these Class III 

carriers, and the states within which 

they operate, see GWI’s notice of 

exemption filed on August 2, 2011. The 

notice is available on the Board’s Web 

site at ‘‘http://www.stb.dot.gov.’’ 

AZER currently owns and operates 

approximately 200 route miles of rail 

line between Bowie and Miami, Ariz. 

and between Lordsburg, N.M. and 

Clifton, Ariz. AZER is a wholly owned 

subsidiary of Permian Basin Railways, 

Inc. (Permian Basin), which in turn is a 

wholly owned subsidiary of Iowa 

Pacific Holdings, LLC, a noncarrier 

holding company. As a result of the 

proposed transaction, GWI will obtain 

control of AZER through the purchase of 

all of AZER’s stock from Permian 

Basin.1

Applicants represent that: (1) The rail 

lines to be acquired by GWI do not 

connect with any other railroad in the 

corporate family; 2 (2) the transaction is 

not part of a series of anticipated 

transactions that would connect AZER’s 

rail lines with any other railroad in the 

GWI corporate family; and (3) the 

transaction does not involve a Class I 

rail carrier. Therefore, the transaction is 

exempt from the prior approval 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323. See 49 

CFR 1180.2(d)(2).3

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of its 

employees. Because the transaction 

involves the control of at least one Class 

II and one or more Class III rail carriers, 

the transaction is subject to the labor 

protection requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11326(b). 

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. Stay petitions must be 

filed no later than August 25, 2011 (at 

least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35537, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on Thomas J. Litwiler, 

Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker 

Drive, Suite 920, Chicago, IL 60606.
