a verified notice of exemption \1\ under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire from 
The Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad Company d/b/a Carolina Southern 
Railroad Company (CALA) and to operate one mile of rail line between 
milepost AC 290.0 and milepost AC 289.0, at or near Whiteville, N.C., 
pursuant to a mediation agreement reached between RJCS and CALA on June 
19, 2015.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The notice was originally filed on November 25, 2015, but 
was supplemented on December 3, 2015. Therefore, December 3, 2015, 
will be the official filing date and the basis for all subsequent 
dates.
    \2\ RJCS was authorized previously to operate this one-mile line 
as incidental, local trackage rights, in addition to being 
authorized to acquire and operate two interconnected rail lines 
totaling approximately 74.98 miles between specified points in North 
Carolina and South Carolina. R. J. Corman R.R--Acquis. & Operation 
Exemption--The Baltimore & Annapolis R.R., FD 35897 (STB served Jan. 
28, 2015), as corrected on November 27, 2015. R. J. Corman Railroad 
Group, LLC, and R. J. Corman Railroad Company, LLC, were authorized 
to continue in control of RJCS upon RJCS's becoming a Class III rail 
carrier. R. J. Corman R.R. Grp.--Continuance in Control Exemption--
R. J. Corman R.R., FD 35898 (STB served Jan. 28, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    RJCS certifies that the proposed transaction does not involve a 
provision or agreement that may limit future interchanges of traffic 
with a third-party connecting carrier.
    RJCS also 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.
    This transaction may be consummated on January 2, 2016, 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 December 24, 
2015 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35978, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
