2 GWRC notes that the proposed transaction does 

not qualify for the class exemption under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(2) because the Hartwell Line and ToccoaElberton Line connect in Bowersville. (Pet. 4.)

determine whether the transaction is limited in 

scope. See 10502(a).

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36599] 

Great Walton Railroad Company d/b/a 

Hartwell Railroad Company— 

Acquisition Exemption; Hartwell 

Railroad Company 

By petition filed on March 17, 2022, 

Great Walton Railroad Company d/b/a 

Hartwell Railroad Company (GWRC) 

seeks an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 

10502 from the prior approval 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323 to 

acquire ownership and control of 

Hartwell Railroad Company (HRC). As 

discussed below, the Board will grant 

the exemption. 

Background 

HRC, a Class III carrier, owns a rail 

line that extends between milepost 0.5 

at Toccoa, Ga., and milepost 48.8 at 

Elberton, Ga. (the Toccoa-Elberton 

Line). (Pet. 2; id. at Attach. A.) GWRC, 

a Class III carrier, owns and operates a 

rail line that extends between Hartwell, 

Ga. and Bowersville, Ga. (the Hartwell 

Line) and connects to the ToccoaElberton Line at milepost 24.5 in 

Bowersville. (Pet., Attach. C.) 1 In 1995, 

HRC granted GWRC trackage rights to 

operate over the Toccoa-Elberton Line. 

(Pet. 3; id. at Attach. C.) 

In support of the petition, GWRC 

asserts that the proposed transaction 

will not result in any changes in service 

levels, operational changes, or changes 

in the competitive balance with other 

rail carriers.2 (Pet. 5.) GWRC states that 

the proposed transaction would 

perpetuate operations by GWRC that 

have been in place since 1995 and that, 

therefore, no shippers will be impacted. 

(Id.) GWRC states that the purposes of 

the proposed transaction are to preserve 

the existing operations and future 

viability of the Hartwell Line and 

Toccoa-Elberton Line, and to facilitate 

their orderly disposition in the future. 

(Id. at 6.) On April 1, 2022, GWRC filed 

a certification that the proposed 

transaction does not involve any 

provision or agreement that may limit 

future interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier. 

Discussion and Conclusions 

Under 49 U.S.C. 11323(a)(3), the 

acquisition of control of a rail carrier by 

any number of rail carriers requires 

prior Board approval. Under 49 U.S.C. 

10502(a), however, the Board must 

exempt a transaction or service from 

regulation if it finds that: (1) Regulation 

is not necessary to carry out the rail 

transportation policy (RTP) of 49 U.S.C. 

10101; and (2) either the transaction or 

service is limited in scope, or regulation 

is not needed to protect shippers from 

the abuse of market power. 

In this case, an exemption from the 

prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323–25 is consistent with the 

standards of 10502. Detailed scrutiny of 

the proposed transaction through an 

application for review and approval 

under 11323–25 is not necessary here to 

carry out the RTP. An exemption would 

promote the RTP by minimizing the 

need for federal regulatory control over 

the transaction, 10101(2); ensuring the 

development and continuation of a 

sound rail transportation system that 

would continue to meet the needs of the 

public, 10101(4); fostering sound 

economic conditions in transportation, 

10101(5); encouraging efficient 

management, 10101(9); and providing 

for the expeditious resolution of this 

proceeding, 10101(15). Other aspects of 

the RTP would not be adversely 

affected. 

Regulation of the transaction is not 

needed to protect shippers from an 

abuse of market power.3 The record 

indicates that no shipper would lose an 

existing rail service option as a result of 

the proposed transaction. GWRC states 

that, since it would continue to operate 

the Toccoa-Elberton Line as it has since 

1995, the proposed transaction would 

not result in any service level or 

operational changes. Accordingly, the 

transaction would not result in any 

shippers losing access to rail service or 

foreclose any transportation options 

currently available to shippers. 

Moreover, no shipper (or any other 

entity) has objected to the proposed 

transaction. 

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. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c) 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under 11324 and 11325 

that involve only Class III rail carriers. 

Accordingly, the Board may not impose 

labor protective conditions here because 

all carriers involved are Class III 

carriers. 

The proposed transaction is exempt 

from environmental reporting 

requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c)(1)(i) because it would not 

result in any significant change in 

carrier operations. The transaction is 

also exempt from the historic reporting 

requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.8(b)(3), because it would not 

substantially change the level of 

maintenance of railroad properties. 

GWRC states that the proposed 

transaction would be consummated on 

or shortly after the effective date of the 

exemption. The exemption will be 

effective June 22, 2022, and petitions to 

stay will be due by June 2, 2022. 

Petitions for reconsideration or petitions 

to reopen will be due by June 13, 2022. 

It is ordered: 

1. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Board 

exempts from the prior approval 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323–25 the 

transaction described above. 

2. Notice of the exemption will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

3. The exemption will become 

effective on June 22, 2022. Petitions to 

stay must be filed by June 2, 2022.
