[Docket No. FD 35710] 

Heart of Texas Railroad, L.P.— 

Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption—Gulf Colorado & San Saba 

Railway Company 

Heart of Texas Railroad, L.P. (the 

Company), a noncarrier, has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.31 to acquire from Gulf 

Colorado & San Saba Railway Company 

(the Seller), and to operate, 

approximately 67.5 miles of rail line 

between milepost 0.0 at Lometa, and 

milepost 67.5 at Brady, in Lampasas, 

Mills, San Saba and McCullouch 

Counties, Tex. (the Line).1

The Company states that the 

agreement between the Company and 

the Seller does not involve any 

provision or agreement that would limit 

future interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier. 

The transaction is expected to be 

consummated on or about January 28, 

2013. The earliest this transaction can 

be consummated is January 20, 2013, 

the effective date of the exemption. 

The Company certifies that its 

projected annual revenues as a result of 

this transaction will not exceed those 

that would qualify it a Class III rail 

carrier and will not exceed $5 million. 

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 January 14, 2012 (at 

least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35710, 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 Rose-Michele Nardi, 

Transport Counsel PC, 1701 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Suite 300, 

Washington, DC 20006.
