GWI is a noncarrier holding company that directly or indirectly controls one operating Class II rail carrier and 22 operating and four non-operating Class III rail carriers.1 Applicant states that: (1) The lines being leased and operated by FCRD do not connect with any other rail lines in its corporate family; (2) the continuance in control is not part of a series of anticipated transactions that would connect the leased lines with any other rail lines in GWI’s corporate family; and (3) the transaction does not involve a 1 The common control of these carriers was authorized in Genesee & Wyoming, Inc.— Continuance in Control Exemption—Tazewell & Peoria Railroad, Inc., STB Finance Docket No. 34545 (STB served Oct. 1, 2004).

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.
