[Docket No. FD 36064]


Genesee & Wyoming Inc.--Acquisition of Control Exemption--
Providence and Worcester Railroad Company

    On September 1, 2016, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (GWI) filed a petition 
under 49 U.S.C. 10502 and 49 CFR 1121 for exemption from the provisions 
of 49 U.S.C. 11323-11324 to allow GWI to acquire control of Providence 
and Worcester Railroad Company (P&W), a Class III railroad. GWI is a 
noncarrier holding company controlling two Class II carriers and 106 
Class III carriers in the United States.
    GWI states that this transaction is not eligible for the exemption 
at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2) because lines owned and operated by P&W connect 
with lines owned and operated by two railroads in GWI's corporate 
family. GWI asks for expedited consideration and requests a decision by 
November 15, 2016. Four railroads and one labor union \1\ have filed 
notices of intent to participate in this proceeding.

the Transportation Division of the International Association of the 
Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers filed a notice of 
intent to participate on September 16, 2016.
