pursuant to an agreement with the North Central Mississippi Regional 
Railroad Authority (NCMRRA) and Grenada Railway, LLC (GRYR), an

(GRYR MP 616.49); and (2) the connecting Water Valley Branch Line, an 
approximately 11.42-mile line extending between MP 614.42 at Bruce 
Jct., Miss., and the Water Valley Junction connection with the Grenada
